@chisom_nwankire @ObamaFoundation @BarackObama I wonder why he has stretch marks around his mouth? Does Big Mike have something to do with them?

@ObamaFoundation @BarackObama He didn’t just remember the past, he humanized it. That’s how history teaches, not just haunts
He’s just too good

In Shigeaki Mori, a Japanese atomic bomb survivor from Hiroshima, President Obama saw the best of humanity, even while reflecting on one of our darkest chapters.
Mori died Sunday at age 88. Today, we honor his example, which President Obama spoke to in 2016 when he visited Hiroshima on the 71st anniversary of America dropping the atomic bomb on that city. Among the more than 140,000 killed in Hiroshima, Mori discovered 30 years later that there were 12 American POWs. He researched the men and wrote to their families, who didn’t yet know how their loved ones had died.
President Obama was the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima, and while there, he reflected on Mori’s work — how it connected people through their shared humanity, regardless of their countless differences: “We’re not bound by genetic code to repeat the mistakes of the past. We can learn. We can choose. We can tell our children a different story –- one that describes a common humanity; one that makes war less likely and cruelty less easily accepted.
We see these stories in the hibakusha –- the woman who forgave a pilot who flew the plane that dropped the atomic bomb, because she recognized that what she really hated was war itself; the man who sought out families of Americans killed here, because he believed their loss was equal to his own.”
In telling the story of the universality of loss, Mori set an example for us all and we are all better for his contributions.

We’re mourning the loss of four New Yorkers after today’s devastating four-alarm fire in Flushing. My heart is with their families, loved ones and every neighbor impacted.
Thank you to the FDNY firefighters and EMS workers who rushed in within minutes, risking their lives to rescue residents and bring the fire under control. Several were injured and we’re wishing them a full recovery.
Residents have been displaced and the building suffered significant damage. Our city will stand with everyone affected as the Fire Marshal investigates the cause.

In my meeting with President Trump last month, we discussed ICE’s actions at Columbia University. I asked that the federal government release Leqaa Kordia and drop the cases against four others.
I am grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.

@NYCMayor This is the kind of leadership people respect — present, practical, and close to the community without making the moment about itself. Serving neighbors with humility always speaks louder than slogans.
