America is broken. Blue voter in Red IN.
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
Both provided strong, steady leadership. They never angrily stormed out of an interview, or berated female journalists. I miss having class and intelligence in the Oval Office.
The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.
We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.
Let me summarize simply: they know they will have to pay too many descendents of the enslaved, so let's kill the project.

“[Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff] Buria told [Army Secretary] Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events.” Not shocked, not surprised. The racism is a feature, not a bug, with these lowlifes. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

While Americans are at imminent risk of being killed or injured because Trump decided to launch military strikes against Iran… Pete Hegseth is focused on banning members of the military from attending Columbia, Yale, Brown and other universities because of “toxic indoctrination.”
