Might as well keep the flag at half-staff for the next four years.

Department Of Surrender

World leaders at the Obama Presidential Center. I see Angela Merkel, Trudeau etc. Many celebrities. Every living former US president. Beautiful, much loved & respected Obama family.

here's Michelle Obama's entire speech commemorating the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, which in part served as an extended (tacit) rebuke of Trumpism

The Obama Presidential Center Ceremony feels like what America 250 should be. Real humanity on full display.

This is a stunning strategic defeat and Trump is without parallel as a strategic loser. nytimes.com/2026/06/17/us/po…

Obama: To Michelle. She did me wrong. She wouldn't let me see her speech. She knew she was going to mess me up and she did it anyway. But she's always made me better. And I could not be more grateful.

And just like that one day you realise you don't care what anyone thinks anyway

Congress never voted to bulldoze the White House or for a dollar to build Trump’s golden Ballroom for the Epstein class (or anyone else). But now we learn that Trump’s bad architecture obsession is costing us all $600 million. Turn your illegal Qatari jet over to the people and we’ll sell it for $400 million and we’ll take the rest out of other illegal emoluments and slush funds, including the $1.776 billion fund for insurrectionists, and the Board of Peace, another unauthorized Trump fund bankrolled by money misallocated from the State Department.

The fucking community note 😭

The entire Knicks roster sang along with Alicia Keys for Empire State of Mind

The Obama Presidential Center opening and the Knicks parade are the closest we’ll get to celebrating the best of America for the 250th.

The opening of the Obama Presidential center is everything trump's Freedom 250th celebration will never be.

Obama: In forming our union, the founders felt terribly short of the declaration's promise, leaving slavery intact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who owned property. But in drafting a constitution and a bill of rights, they did have the foresight, the genius, to provide us with a framework that allows each generation to make our union more perfect. And over more than two centuries, through petitions and protests, marches and strikes, moral appeals from the pulpit and conversations at the family dinner table, men and women from all walks of life, of every color, every faith, every region took up the cause of democracy and made it their own until we the people came to include not just some of us, but all of us
