Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
Juneteenth is a time to commemorate the anniversary of the delayed news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. Today, we remember that struggle for freedom as we reflect on how far we’ve come as a country—and on the work that remains undone.

This #AAPIHeritageMonth, I’m proud to celebrate young leaders like Leināʻala—a student in the @GirlsAlliance in Hawai’i. As she says, “My heritage means the world to me. It touches everything I do. This month is all about sharing our pride. That's how I want to use my voice." pic.twitter.com/m5rnk2j9w4
I'm so proud of the talented players of @USWNT who worked tirelessly for years to advocate for the pay they deserve. I'm thinking of all the little girls everywhere who dare to dream and will see this team as an example of what's possible when you never give up. 👏🏾
As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.
Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space.
These are 17 of the 19 children identified by loved ones from Tuesday's tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Officials now say all of the victims were in the same fourth-grade classroom at Robb Elementary School. INFO: https://t.co/I3DnXNz4MBpic.twitter.com/O91fkOVCGO
There’s nothing I love more than meeting with young people. Today, I had the chance to talk with some of the bright high school students from DC with @ReachHigher who shared their stories and plans for the future. I’m so proud of them and can't wait to follow their journeys. pic.twitter.com/IfG65DrJ5x
Decades before our family lived there, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt planted a Victory Garden on the White House lawn—and I'm thrilled to share that the Fruit & Vegetable Garden at the Obama Presidential Center will be named in her honor. I can’t wait for you all to visit! pic.twitter.com/wAMwaAHn18
