Today, we officially broke ground on the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. Michelle and I can’t imagine a better investment in the city we love, and generations of young leaders who will help create change.

So proud
You can’t know who @KamalaHarris is without knowing who our mother was. Missing her terribly, but know she and the ancestors are smiling today. #BidenHarris2020

We did the impossible. On Monday NYC will open phase one. We didn’t just flatten the curve — we crushed it. #NYTough

For anyone worried about talking to their white children right now—worried that their kid is too young for these conversations—I was 5 or 6 when my Dad told me “no matter what you do, some people will always hate you.” Black children don’t get to not understand racism.

Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it.

Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.

"Fear is always with us, but we just don’t have time for it,” I told my classmates when we graduated from college in 1969. Over the last 50 years, I’ve seen just about all the ways fear can paralyze us—and the ways it can spur us on. ihr.fm/iHeartCommencement #iHeartClassof2020

When it comes to funding corporate America, no amount is too high. When it comes to funding working Americans, the purse strings are closed tight. I say that’s WRONG. Let's fund working Americans.

We are going through hell. When this is all over, I want people to say, we went through hell but we learned lessons and we built a better society because of it.

New York is still seeing about 2,000 COVID hospitalizations per day. If people tell you the pandemic is "over" — they're wrong.

I’m moving $1B of my Square equity (~28% of my wealth) to #startsmall LLC to fund global COVID-19 relief. After we disarm this pandemic, the focus will shift to girl’s health and education, and UBI. It will operate transparently, all flows tracked here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
