Happy Fourth of July! As we celebrate today, let's thank our armed forces and their families for their service to our country. And let's recommit to fighting for our democracy—there's still so much work to be done to perfect our union. — PolitiTweet.org

The Stonewall Uprising helped galvanize a movement for LGBTQ+ rights. The progress we’ve made in the years since is a testament to what happens when people organize and demand change. But we need to do more to safeguard LGBTQ+ rights and expand on those hard-earned victories. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

In 2016, I was proud to designate the Stonewall National Monument as the first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Climate change is no longer just about the future that we're trying to protect for our children or our grandchildren; it's about the reality we're living with now. That’s why it’s more urgent now than ever before that Congress pass @POTUS’ climate and clean energy investments. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

The 6-3 decision strikes a blow to the EPA’s authority to regulate power plant emissions—paving the way to dismantle some of the most impactful provisions of the Clean Air Act and limit our ability to reduce carbon pollution. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

No challenge poses a greater threat to our future than a changing climate. Every day, we’re feeling the impact of climate change, and today’s Supreme Court decision is a major step backward. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

As president, I saw Chancellor Merkel lead through crises with her wise pragmatism, good humor, and unrelenting moral compass—and I feel lucky to call her a friend. Grateful for the chance to visit the @NMAAHC today, a reminder that America is a constant work in progress. https://t.co/CggYWllm31 — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Last week, I stopped by the Obama Presidential Center construction site. It’s great to see this dream start to come to life on the South Side and to meet some of the extraordinary people who are helping to build it. https://t.co/ANBTwWy6DQ — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

For more than a month, we’ve known this day was coming—but that doesn’t make it any less devastating. Here are my thoughts from when we first saw the draft ruling: https://t.co/aegHc7AoTm — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Across the country, states have already passed bills restricting choice. If you're looking for ways to respond, @PPFA, @USOWomen, and many other groups have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years—and will continue to be on the front lines of this fight. https://t.co/PpXBEcbL2S — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Progress isn’t always a straight line.   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. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. https://t.co/PavwzUuTPg — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

On World Refugee Day, we recognize the challenges that refugees face, honor their courage, and celebrate their contributions to our country. If you would like to welcome refugees as your neighbors, join @WelcomeUS: https://t.co/6CDBXTZzEP https://t.co/CWzOXn8QG9 — PolitiTweet.org

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. https://t.co/6aZgq3Fuzw — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Today, I hope you’ll take some time to celebrate and learn more about Juneteenth. Here are some ways to recognize this important day. https://t.co/BmqY8NnXac — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light. Let us all recommit ourselves today to honoring those who fought over generations to steer our country closer to our highest ideals. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. https://t.co/2BryVifWFm — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. https://t.co/6tU2VMGNp2 — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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: https://t.co/gSTCdrkrOQ — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. https://t.co/Mgl02g5w6m — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. https://t.co/K0FH8OEc2l — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

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. https://t.co/ylPjEm7RoV — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

Read more in my speech about how we can renew democracy by promoting more inclusive markets, political participation, community building, and less polarizing technology platforms. https://t.co/9E5FoQIBKn — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

And we will also have to be willing to look squarely at the shortcomings of our own democracies—not the ideal, but the reality. Only then will we be able to tell a better story of what democracy can be, and must be, in this rapidly changing world. — PolitiTweet.org

Barack Obama @BarackObama

The point is, if we want democracy to flourish, we will have to fight for it. We will have to nurture it. We will have to demonstrate its value, again and again, in improving the lives of ordinary people. — PolitiTweet.org
