@Congratulations to my friend, President @JoeBiden! This is your time.
If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag or gave up on our country.
Happy birthday to my love, my partner, and my best friend. Every moment with you is a blessing. Love you, Miche.

Like all of you, I’ve been feeling so many emotions since yesterday. I tried to put my thoughts down here:

Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.
My friend John Lewis is surely smiling down on his beloved Georgia this morning, as people across the state carried forward the baton that he and so many others passed down to them.
Great to see you out there, Tyriek. First-time voters are making a difference today!
Tyriek Johnson Jr: first time voting felt great to go make a difference !
Thanks for voting, Emily—and thanks even more for committing to stay involved after today. Your state and your country need you!
Emily: In case you missed literally every other social media I own, today I voted for @ossoff @ReverendWarnock because we need a better future and we have the chance to start that here in Georgia - don’t forget that the fight doesn’t end with the election, we’ve got a lot of work to do!

This Christmas looks different for all of us. As we spend time with those we love—in person or virtually—let us celebrate the blessings we cherish, embrace the spirit of giving, and look out for one another. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!
Here are some of my favorite songs of the year. As usual, I had some valuable consultation from our family music guru, Sasha, to put this together. I hope you find a new song or two to listen to.
Like everyone else, we were stuck inside a lot this year, and with streaming further blurring the lines between theatrical movies and television features, I’ve expanded the list to include visual storytelling that I’ve enjoyed this year, regardless of format.
As 2020 comes to a close, I wanted to share my annual lists of favorites. I’ll start by sharing my favorite books this year, deliberately omitting what I think is a pretty good book – A Promised Land – by a certain 44th president. I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did.
I had some fun answering questions about #APromisedLand for BookTube. I talked to creators about everything from fatherhood, to celebrating science at the White House, to the role strong women played in my life. You can watch the full episode on @YouTube:

Here’s a great way to call voters in Georgia and help them get ready to vote. A couple hours this weekend could help Democrats win the Senate.
Vote Save America: 🍑25 days🍑 left till the runoff elections in Georgia.
We’ve partnered with @NextGenAmerica to make 50k calls to young voters to make sure they vote by mail, in-person, or early (starting Monday 12/14).
Don’t sit on the sidelines. Let’s win another one:
