She made no mention of the violent protests that have torn Kenosha apart and left parts of the city in ruins.

Obama lamented Friday on Twitter that American children are seeing systemic racism every day. "Sometimes they see it on the news, sometimes they see it from the White House Rose Garden, and sometimes they see it from the back seat of a car," she said, apparently alluding to Jacob Blake,  black man who was shot seven times in the back by Kenosha police last Sunday as his children looked on from his car.

She went on to talk about her being "exhausted and frustrated," but seeing "glimmers of something different" when she looks at the "swift and powerful protests that have risen up around the country." The protests are "opening eyes, rattling consciences and reminding people of all backgrounds that this problem" won't' be solved unless "we all make a change."

She urged Democratic Party supporters to continue taking to the streets as well as show up for the November elections.  

I want to encourage you all to keep using your bullhorns and your ballots to reform policies in our cities and our neighborhoods

Obama's message elicited praise and gratitude from her supporters, including one who said, "Your words always lower my blood pressure and your face invigorates me."
