Always thought Malia resembled her Dad and Sasha looked like her Mother. Both girls resemble each parent to some extent and still have their own individual look. Sasha has changed the most, but that is probably because she was the youngest when we got to know them.
Stunning top photo – beauty and strength projected from the core of each of them. If the future is shaped by women like the four of them our species will have the opportunity to evolve further.
Good morning, jazziz2, 😘🥰😍 to your question. 😘🥰😍. It is truly wonderful, uplifting and refreshing, isn’t it? So wish could have seen Michelle in Nashville last night.
After a week plus, I’m heading back to the Y in just a few minutes. Good day to all. Bbl……..
Thank you for your help. I have a Mac and use Safari. Not on Twitter, either. I don’t know if you need to have a Twitter account to copy. I will check it out another day to see if I can get it.
What an honor to welcome @MichelleObama to the Ryman tonight to speak about her memoir, Becoming (and to take my own mom with me.) Thank you, Mrs. Obama, for the extraordinary example you’ve set for us all. pic.twitter.com/0D3lcfwrXe
I think speculators benefit from a stock market that wildly fluctuates. Not normal people at all. My IRA which is tiny has for the first time flat lined for two years since Trump was elected. Also the likelihood that the administration is giving tips on buying and selling to friends has got to be 100% given their record of corruption and lawlessness.
This is actually an appeal to red district voters who connect US farming to their identity (if not income). If Trump & co. can sell that their massive economic losses are patriotic, then maybe they won’t turn on him. It’s a profound test of propaganda’s power. Watch it carefully. https://t.co/HhBckGwulF
So much for Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Roberts adhering to constitutional precedent when implied powers, implicit privileges, and unwritten rights are at stake. Relying on Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, anyone? https://t.co/vzPZ8hYvrw
Next IN DANGER?? go back further…to the Reconstruction Amendments….or the Amendments of citizenship….interesting to see how this all pans out…marginalized people have been living in fear…for awhile…perhaps now it will be white Americans turn to be fearful…
1) The loss of ice in the Arctic is rapidly increasing the pace of global warming.
2) Loss of permafrost releases methane which further increases the pace of global warming.
3) Which increases sea levels around the world and all low-lying coastal areas.
4) We have to be all about the Arctic.
“The Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the planet, showing temperature increases twice as large as global averages.
Sea ice, snow cover, glaciers and permafrost are all diminishing due to Arctic warming. Vulnerable ecosystems in the Arctic are under threat,” reports the Arctic Council. “Climate change causes rapidly changing living conditions for 4 million Arctic inhabitants. Hunting, fishing and herding activities are threatened by changes in snow and ice conditions. Traditional livelihoods of Indigenous Peoples in the Arctic are at risk.
So Arctic governments, including Indigenous representatives, have been using the tool of consensus in order to meet that challenge. The Arctic Council includes eight Arctic nations: Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark (including Greenland and the Faroe Islands), Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russian Federation, Sweden, and the U.S. In addition, it’s the only member-state organization that includes six Indigenous permanent members representing the Aleut, Inuit, Athabaskan, Gwich’in, Sami, and Russian Indigenous Peoples of the North.”

Pompeo refused to use the words “climate change” or black carbon in any joint statement = the U.S. faction ‘hoax’ spin.
International Chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council: “This is the first time the Arctic Council has failed to issue a declaration at the end of a two-year chairmanship, and it’s a serious blow to the future of what is supposed to be a consensus based body…(Thus) Arctic Council ministers agreed to release a seven-paragraph joint statement that avoided mentioning any of the threats and challenges faced in the Arctic…”
”We need a more just, peaceful world, one that is achievable with consensus driven discussions and the critical participation of Indigenous peoples…The challenge of global warming, ocean acidification, and the warming of the Arctic, are the greatest existential threat to the future of humankind.” (https://truthout.org/articles/us-plays-word-games-in-arctic-council-consensus-while-ignoring-indigenous-people/)
–Meanwhile, the U.S. faction is spinning and undermining the Arctic Council’s credibility and genuine leadership at this planetary unprecedented moment.
1) The U.S. stonewalled the Arctic Council agreement.
2) Because Big Oil and their enablers represent only Oil, Gas and Mining.
3) They deny the reality of global warming = one million extinctions so far.
4) They acknowledge zero.
5) Big Oil wants the Arctic for drilling, mining and shipping.
6) Pompeo stymied what should have been an important Arctic statement.
Pompeo is a big nobody assigned with the role of torpedoing the planet.
Global warming.
We’ve been bamboozled into saying “climate change” which works for the anti-science meme crowd. Did you see the reference on “VICE’?
The term is global warming.
Excuse his language, although I agree with every word. 🙂
pretty unfair of us to expect the guy who doesn't understand how science works or how campaign finance law works or how not cheating on your wife works or how running a casino works or how closing a fucking umbrella for fuck's sake works to suddenly understand how tariffs work
Eric Black: Under which president did the stock market rise more during the first 27 months of his presidency? Donald J. Trump or Barack H. Obama? Under which did the unemployment rate declined more? How about GDP growth per president? https://t.co/rwy6KlW9Yg
Malia, Sasha, and Michelle’s Mother were in attendance at the final book tour in Nashville Sunday night. Michelle said that Sasha told her, Mom you know I love you I am missing Games of Thrones.
Dear TOD if you read (with your eyes or ears) nothing between now and the November 2020 election, I’d do each of you a grave injustice not to urge you to read @TimothyDSynder’s “The Road to Unfreedom.”
Dear America, you're being attacked 24/7/365 by a force #Hitler & #EmperorOfJapan would've deployed rather than bombs.
Just because #Putin's bits are noiseless doesn't make them less lethal than a nuke.
FYI, Yersinia pestis made ZERO noise as it killed millions.
THIS!!!!!!! Matt Murphy is correct. Oddly enough, I do not believe that they all were against the TPP. I believe that they were jumping on the far left bandwagon to not feel left out. HRC even changed her mind and jumped on that losing bandwagon. I hear some pundits wondering how VP Joe is going to explain his vote for TPP. I have no doubt that he is eager to explain what we are missing now, and how China is filling the void.
But it's so much more. Brown gave this country – a largely apartheid state in 1954 -the opportunity to free itself from the stench and shame of segregation, to honor the words of its own Constitution, and the chance to become a real democracy. Brown lifted America. https://t.co/igksX9u6jq
Hey DF, this report on Rachel tonight kept me in my propers, & best cackle today, didn’t need to look for my virtual Webster’s! 😂😂
Ahem! iQ45’s lawyers couldn’t even spell “Deutsche” Bank in court filings. 😂 Yup, “best people” indeed! Anyhoo, Judge wasn’t having any of their “Dooshebank” nonsense. No delay, they gotta produce goods tomorrow. 😯😂
Can anyone out there show that this pretender, Grifter+Fam, emporer pretender has no clothes? It bothers me that in order to open the eyes of 99% of the nation, it will take laying bare his taxes. Yet, folks know he’s full of BS & fox propaganda. Yes, it’s a constitutional crisis. Totally brought about by Turtle dood. In my thinking, I doubt am wrong, I see Turtle dood as the MoFo who’s orchestrated the disaster we’re in. And all for turning the courts back to his illiterate heydays. Their wet dream since 1950s. Enhanced in 1960s. Ewww! Sorry, that visual gave me the vapors! 😂 (younguns, it had a diff meaning in my grandmother’s times, not what it might mean these days). 👀😂
Tomorrow, the Alabama Senate is poised to pass a total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest, teeing up SCOTUS to potentially overturn Roe v. Wade.
Tomorrow will also be day three of the Trump administration’s Women’s Health Week, which seems about right.
Yet for years after the end of the Cold War, US leaders and other Western nations were willfully blind to Russia’s hostility. They fell victim to “mirroring,” imagining that the Russians—and Chinese—wanted what the U.S. wanted: for rules-based international order.

ROUNDUP WEEDKILLER = GLYPHOSATE = CANCER
MONSANTO: ORDERED TO PAY $TWO BILLION.
“”California jury ruled Monday that Monsanto must pay a record $2 billion in damages to a couple that was diagnosed with cancer after using the company’s weedkiller Roundup. “We were finally allowed to show a jury the mountain of evidence showing Monsanto’s manipulation of science, the media, and regulatory agencies to forward their own agenda despite Roundup’s severe harm to the animal kingdom and humankind,” said Michael Miller, an attorney for Alva and Alberta Pilliod.”” https://truthout.org/articles/jury-orders-monsanto-to-pay-record-2-billion-to-couple-in-roundup-cancer-trial/
-End.Roundup.Ads.
-End Bayer-
“The jury ruled that Monsanto — which was acquired by the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer last year — is liable for the Pilliods’ non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), the third such ruling in less than a year.”
Would be nice for my neighbor to be compensated for multiple cancers, after years of growing up on a farm that used Roundup spray.
But he is dead.
Dandelions are the first line of nutrition for our bees.
Bees are now endangered, thus pollination and our food supply is endangered.
e.g. Our local football field for children and parks have dandelions all around the edges: Means Roundup has been sprayed in the large middle area of green where children, adults and pets play.
–No dandelions means the area has been poisoned.
–Let’s see life-giving dandelions in every yard!!
The Obama Diary 
Thank you, Nerdy!
Love that top photo. Four gorgeous women. It’s been so long since I saw Sasha She’s beautiful.
hey Terri….
i so agree…i loveeeee this photo….Michelle Obama…tributes so much of her own development to her mom in her book. “Becoming”….
Hi, Sheila. Hope you and your family had a great Mother’s Day.
I did terri…i hope you did as well
Yes I did, thank you very much.
Beautiful! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Always thought Malia resembled her Dad and Sasha looked like her Mother. Both girls resemble each parent to some extent and still have their own individual look. Sasha has changed the most, but that is probably because she was the youngest when we got to know them.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Mother’s Day!
yup
