I can’t wait for you all to see We The People! This Higher Ground project is filled with the songs and the heart of so many of our favorite artists—but even more, it’s a rallying cry for a rising generation that’s ready to take on the world. Watch it on @Netflix on July 4! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/c8N7nb01n8

Michelle and I are excited to share our latest show from Higher Ground: We The People. Some of our favorite artists got together with amazing animators to remix civics—and the result is a lot better than what we had in school. Check it out on @Netflix this July 4. pic.twitter.com/PlsSyq5pgk

It’s been a year since those horrifying 8 minutes and 46 seconds stole George Floyd’s life. Today, I am thinking of this clip of his daughter Gianna, and all the young people out there who have seen so much, but refuse to give up hope. pic.twitter.com/VclaQksyso

Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) May 25, 2021George Floyd was murdered one year ago today. Since then, hundreds more Americans have died in encounters with police—parents, sons, daughters, friends taken from us far too soon. But the last year has also given us reasons to hope.

If you are still claiming police needed to kill a child I don't have anything to say to you. Because you're clearly okay with the state murdering kids & that's so far down the road to hell there's no turning back. We can't agree to disagree, we can't discuss it. You have to go.

This is my foster sister Ma’Khia I want her to be remembered as the sweet full of life young girl she was, not as what people are painting her out to be. I refuse for her to be painted as anything but the amazing girl she was #MakiahBryant pic.twitter.com/ayJsMcTwz0

Casually suggesting a taser as a de-escalation tool – especially on a child – is depraved.

this is makhia bryant, the teenager that was just shot and killed by cops in columbus. my heart hurts so bad. https://t.co/LeuSM0NEhg

Police killed at least 5 people today. This morning they killed someone in Lakewood, CO. Police killed two people in San Antonio this afternoon. Then they killed someone in Detroit and killed #makhiabryant in Columbus. https://t.co/GfRHZzTZvP

This happened at Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. The kids who did it were overwhelmingly white. No police showed up, no tear gas or "less-than-lethal munitions deployed. Police in that same city just murdered 16 year old Black girl #makhiabryant. https://t.co/Dcyo0wgj3h
— No (@MattStofflet) April 21, 2021
A Black girl is dead because the cops brought a gun to a damn knife fight. If you don’t know how to de-escalate teen girls who are fighting, you should not be a police officer. I said what I said. #MakhiaBryant

Brittney Cooper (@ProfessorCrunk) April 21, 2021We’ve literally seen cops apprehend, ARMED white teens, MOMENTS after the teens/young adults murdered people. Let’s not play this game. Short, short memories. Some even get taken to Burger King. Humanity is something not afforded to Black youth. Even when calling 4 help.

Our hearts are heavy over yet another shooting of a Black man, Daunte Wright, at the hands of police. It’s important to conduct a full and transparent investigation, but this is also a reminder of just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country. pic.twitter.com/sgcbRjlApr
