As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Gaulstown Dolmen, Co. Waterford. Perhaps 5000 years old, the capstone is 14ft long. Regardless of how they lifted that stone, it took engineering and it still stands today.

A standing stone known as the Bishop's Finger, overlooking the Suir Valley in County Tipperary.
Archaeological excavations of similar standing stones in Ireland show that they tend to date to the Bronze Age.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.
