Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

I see a LOT of “sympathetic” coverage of (White!) seditionists claiming they were driven by mental illness and pandemic isolation. Stop right there! Millions of Americans have wellness issues and do NOT plot sedition. Do not weaponize mental illness to try and justify terrorism.

The call to remember means little if we forget our own possibilities for evil and our own responsibility for good.

Alabama is the only state that gives Davis his own holiday—an honor not even his own state of Mississippi bestows. Davis and his compatriots were wrong in 1861, and they are wrong now. We must immediately repeal Alabama Code sec. 1-3-8(b)(4), which authorizes his holiday.

The Obama Administration didn't just leave a pandemic playbook that Trump ignored.
We also left a 99-page playbook on strengthening trust between law enforcement and communities. It warns against a "warrior" and "occupying force" mindset.
