Now that’s what I call fierce! You’re a star, @DennisNia! ⭐️👏🏾
For six decades, @IAmCicelyTyson has graced our movie and television screens—breaking barriers and inspiring us all with her legacy. In her new book #JustAsIAm, she shares her incredible truth and journey. I can’t wait for you all to read it. ❤️
On International #EducationDay, I’m celebrating the perseverance of students and teachers around the world—including organizations in the @GirlsAlliance that are helping to keep girls learning safely during the pandemic.
Support their work today:

Hank Aaron was one of the best baseball players we’ve ever seen and one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Aaron family and everyone who was inspired by this unassuming man and his towering example.
With her strong and poignant words, @TheAmandaGorman reminds us of the power we each hold in upholding our democracy. Keep shining, Amanda! I can't wait to see what you do next. 💕 #BlackGirlMagic

A new chapter begins today. Tune in now for #Inauguration2021 as @JoeBiden and I are sworn in to office and set our nation on a new path forward.

We are so very honored to win Best Feature, along with the ABC VideoSource Award, tonight at @IDAorg’s Documentary Awards!
Congrats to Directors @JimLeBrecht and @NicoleNewnham, @Netflix, and our team at Higher Ground Productions! Barack and I were proud to share the story of the young people who mobilized, organized and in the process made lasting change in our country.
With so much going on, Dr. King’s leadership is as steadying a force as it’s ever been. I’ve been reflecting a lot on his example, and how it might help us move forward after these last four years. #MLKDay
Like all of you, I’ve been feeling so many emotions since yesterday. I tried to put my thoughts down here:
Replying to @BarackObama: Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.
Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.

🚨 IF YOU STILL HAVE YOUR BALLOT, YOU NEED TO RETURN IT TO YOUR NEAREST DROPOFF LOCATION BEFORE 7 PM TONIGHT 🚨
Find your drop-off location ASAP:
🚨 Hey Georgia! If you still have your mail-in ballot, return it to a drop-off location before 7 PM ET today. Find one near you at . Let's get it done! 🚨
It’s #ElectionDay in Georgia! If you’re heading to the polls today, get there before they close at 7 PM ET. If you still need to find your polling place or ballot drop-off location for your absentee ballot, go to to get started with @WhenWeAllVote.
Because in America, everyone’s voice matters. And that’s still the truth, no matter what some folks want you to believe.
If you live in Georgia, make sure you vote for @ReverendWarnock and @Ossoff in tomorrow’s U.S. Senate runoffs—and make sure everybody you know does the same. If you’ve already received a mail-in ballot, take it to a drop-box or vote in person at your polling place tomorrow.
These runoffs will decide whether President-Elect Biden has a Senate that will work with him rather than just obstruct him at every turn.
So if Georgians elect @ReverendWarnock and @Ossoff, we’ll take another step toward cleaning up the mess of the past four years. And we’ll send a message to any politician who puts themselves and their ambition above our system of self-government.
Tomorrow’s runoffs in Georgia will decide whether the U.S. Senate is run by those who’ve shown their willingness to tear down our democracy—or whether it’ll be run by those who will actually get to work on the monumental challenges before us.
This is why we can’t just vote for President and think that our job is done.
