A message from Mrs. O. about National Black Voter Day
Today is National Black Voter Day, and it’s critical that you continue to get involved and make your voices heard in every election. With the midterms this fall, be sure to check your registration status and ask three friends to do the same at https://t.co/PA4LvmFR0D. pic.twitter.com/Ie9KH3YizP
I had a chance to meet with Elizabeth Whelan and Cherelle Griner to keep them apprised of where we are in negotiations with Russia. My Administration will continue to work tirelessly and pursue every possible avenue to bring Paul and Brittney home as soon as possible. pic.twitter.com/B7dGiaDF7U

Watch the new Ken Burns documentary on America’s response to the holocaust starting tonight.
Ken Burns' new six-hour series brings World War II history to life — and reminds us that our life, right now, is indeed history in the making. https://t.co/PVeHmijC6i
Ken Burns' documentary 'The US and the Holocaust' is the telling of America's insufficient response to the Holocaust fed by "outright xenophobia and hatred toward immigrants" Which is also a whole lot like where we are today. Begins tonite at 8 on PBS. https://t.co/i4O2E7GH55
A new documentary examines America's response and inaction during the Holocaust. Co-directors @LynnNovick and @KenBurns talk with @jaketapper about their documentary "The U.S. and the Holocaust" and the current rise of far-right extremism in the U.S. and abroad pic.twitter.com/CCmtQnxucu
Ken Burns is a celebrated American who knows more about the country's troubled history with racism and populism than most people. When he sees parallels between people like DeSantis and Naziism, you might want to listen.

And from there, millions of it went to questionable causes including, public records show, $5 million from Mississippi Community Education Center, to the construction of a volleyball stadium at the university where Favre’s daughter played.

Folks, I respect the Queen as much as the next person. I offer my condolences to the Brits and all who loved her. But can I please get some news and footage of the effects of Fiona in Puerto Rico? For those who need reminding, they are American citizens in distress. 🇵🇷

@SenSchumer
I am urging the Biden administration to reimburse 100% of costs to help our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico quickly recover from Hurricane Fiona.
I’m working with FEMA to ensure Puerto Rico quickly receives its full share of federal funding to help those affected by this storm.
US colonialism is torturing the people of Puerto Rico
It's not just a "natural disaster." The US imposed an unelected fiscal control board; it sold PR's electrical grid to a corporation, causing constant blackouts
NEW: Trump's defense team in panic mode: Special Master demanding Trump "disclose specific information regarding declassification to the Court and to the Government…will force [Trump] to fully and specifically disclose a defense to the merits of any subsequent indictment…"
Given that the serial pedophile isn’t even indicted let alone arrested even after 2 years, the traitorous treasonous thug and his lawyer clowns do not fear the weakling garland and his weakass doj.
Am so posting this especially for our Dudette! And, of course our entire TOD Fam. This is the son of the legendary Ali Farka Toure, paying homage to his Dad!

It’s been 11 years since President Obama repealed the military’s unjust “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, finally allowing LGBTQ+ Americans to serve their country openly & proudly.
Today, we celebrate that progress and honor the LGBTQ+ service members who protect our country.
In a few weeks, we'll get to decide who we want to be. Do we want to be a nation that protects women's rights? A nation that allows every citizen to make their voice heard? A nation that takes action on climate change before it’s too late?
On the way to DC…ran into an HBCU grad who was raised in public housing & defied odds to become Pastor of Dr. King’s church & US Senator. NO logical reason @ReverendWarnock & his opponent are tied in polls. Let’s defy odds & vote like our lives depend on it, b/c they do. #VOTEpic.twitter.com/XXZBHUysZH

Black women earn only 58 cents for every dollar made by white men and only 75 cents for every dollar made by white women. On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we recommit ourselves to closing the pay disparity that leaves Black women literally shortchanged.
Even the novels, Bond has always served in HER Majesty's Secret Service, never HIS Majesty's. The first James Bond novel was published two months after Elizabeth II ascended the throne.
A search is currently underway for a new James Bond: “When we cast Bond, it’s a 10-, 12-year commitment. Not everybody wants to do that. It was hard enough getting [Daniel Craig to do it]. And he was in his early 30s at the time!”
NEW: The next James Bond actor will need to commit to the role for 10-12 years, per #007 producers. Don’t expect a one-off. “It’s not just about casting an actor for a film. It’s about a reinvention.” They say decision still “a couple of years off.” via @Varietypic.twitter.com/W3X3kIIbBY
My Senator is out here doing the work and being awesome!
I am deeply grateful to Sen.@ossoff for drawing attention to this issue. I have described the conditions in U.S. prisons & jails as an humanitarian crises. We need @CivilRights to use all its powers to address conditions in state facilities, and we must pressure state officials. https://t.co/ZqgdXWo54D
Nearly 1,000 people who died in U.S. prisons and jails in 2021 went unaccounted for because of the Justice Dept.’s failures, according to a newly released bipartisan Senate report. @YahooNews@ossoff called the DOJ’s lack of oversight a “moral disgrace”https://t.co/15WodsaKGX

the juxtaposition of two events in NYC today – Biden's speech to the UN and the NY AG's fraud suit against the Trumps – underscores the simplest contrast:
a decent man who believes in the American experiment has replaced an indecent con man, who does not, as president of the US
Two black women with their limited powers doing their best to bring the traitorous treasonous thug to justice while all the white peeps with far more vast powers doing their best not to.
Aww this made me smile. I love that FLOTUS Jill is into Abbott Elementary. 🫶🏾
