To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

@JoJoFromJerz Welcome to Jackass. Sigh.

The current president of the United States of America just told the world that he’s going to invade another country because he wasn’t given a peace prize.

January 15, 1968. Daddy celebrating his 39th birthday…the last one he would celebrate before he was assassinated on April 4th of that same year. Not a long life. But it was a large life. Thank you for commemorating him today. Let’s move forward to challenge and conquer hate, inhumanity, and injustice, and to, as he said, “make of this old world a new world.” #MLKDay #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr

Happy birthday, Daddy. Thank you for being a bold purveyor of true peace. Thank you for living with purpose and for radically lifting the power of love. Thank you for believing that we can defeat injustice without destroying each other. Thank you for your courage and strategic, compassionate action. Thank you for teaching me so much, even now. I remember you today, on your 97th birthday. I remember you always. #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #HappyBirthday

Keith Porter Jr., 43, was killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve in Northridge. The agent’s name remains hidden. No interview. No charges. Justice delayed is justice denied.

This is Office David Rose, who was killed during a mass shooting at the CDC by an anti-vax extremist. Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who oversees the CDC, did not attend Rose’s funeral but found the time to speak at Charlie Kirk’s memorial. RETWEET to honor Officer Rose! ❤️

Everyone in America needs to watch this video: To fuck the American people, Trump-loving postmaster Louis DeJoy has changed what a postmarked date means. Listen to this video to learn the insidious consequences and how it's designed to screw you. 😳👇

My father often used everyday experiences—meals, marches, songs, and yes, games—to help people imagine a freer world. As we prepare for the Hoops, Hopes & Dreams screening, I’m thinking about how joy and play can be part of our organizing, our healing, and our insistence that everyone belongs. #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity

At least 34 states + DC made new or expanded investments in housing & homelessness solutions in their most recently enacted state budgets. Looming federal housing cuts mean it's more critical than ever for states and localities to act: cbpp.org/blog/state-and…

SNAP delays will hit older adults and persons with disabilities particularly hard. youtube.com/shorts/beK7o4-…

On Saturday, funding for SNAP benefits will run out due to Trump's government shutdown, affecting 42.6 million Americans. Republicans could end this today by negotiating a sensible CR. Thread w/ an alphabetical state-by-state breakdown, from the Food Research & Action Center.

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Adrien and his son, Rodger, were living in a tent near Downtown LA when I met them. I don’t often see kids in homeless encampments, so I asked if they needed socks just to start a conversation. No one, especially no child should sleep outside homeless. invisiblepeople.tv/videos/father-…
