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.
Today’s Supreme Court decision is wrong but Congress passing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is a modest but real step forward. And the fight will go on, thanks to the activists, survivors, and families who continue to demand action.
50 years ago, committed women and girls from around the country worked with Congress to pass Title IX and equal the playing field. @ESPN's 37 Words documentary looks into the impact of Title IX and the work still in front of us.
Michelle and I started the @ObamaFoundation's Futures Series to connect the young leaders of tomorrow with the trailblazers of today. It’s great to see the impact that it’s already having on students from the South Side.
Great news for parents: The COVID-19 vaccine is approved for kids under 5. As appointments ramp up, you’ll be able to find a vaccine at pediatricians’ offices, pharmacies, and more. It's safe and effective—this is another big step to protect our loved ones and communities.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads and father-figures celebrating today! Of all that I’ve done in my life, I’m most proud of being Malia and Sasha's dad...and the family's designated photographer.
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.
With four championships in eight years, the @Warriors leave no doubt of their place as one of the NBA’s greatest dynasties. Congrats to Finals MVP Steph, Draymond, Klay, Coach Kerr and the rest of Dub Nation for such sustained excellence.
Congrats to @USMonastirBB for winning the 2022 Basketball Africa League Finals. You've inspired countless young people across Africa and around the world with your grit and determination this season. It's exciting to see the game we all love expand throughout the continent.
We need to build democracy for the future—and what gives me hope is the promise and potential of the next generation of leaders coming up. In Copenhagen last week, I had the chance to meet some of those young folks working with the @ObamaFoundation.
If we're going to protect our democracy, we need to keep up the fight for fair maps. @DemRedistrict is at the forefront of that effort—and we need to help them build on the progress they've already made protecting our free and fair elections:
For the 10th anniversary of DACA, I met with these inspiring young people who shared their stories, the impact that DACA had on their lives, and the work that remains to support them.
For all they have done for our nation, and all they will continue to do, DACA recipients and their families deserve better. On the 10th anniversary of DACA, let's redouble our efforts to build a commonsense immigration system that offers these Americans a pathway to citizenship.
I'm inspired by the @ObamaFoundation leaders I met today. These young people understand that the future of democracy hangs in the balance—and they’re ready to do the work.
Yesterday, I spoke at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit to discuss the challenges to democracy around the world, and the work we can do right now with the next generation of leaders to chart a better course.
Happy birthday, Sasha! I have loved watching you grow into the intelligent, beautiful, and caring young woman you've become. And no matter how old you get—you'll always be my baby girl. Look at those cheeks!
Tomorrow, I'll be speaking at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit.
At a time like this, what gives me hope is the promise and potential of the next generation of leaders—who understand that democracy hangs in the balance and are ready to do what they can to save it.
It was great meeting with our reigning @WNBA champs, the @ChicagoSky! I am incredibly proud of these athletes, who represent the best of our city—on and off the court.
