its cool to see Biden giving medals to people who worked, and not just a long line of unsavory scoundrels who donated to his campaign or amplified hate like Mrs Adelson or Rush Limbaugh.
I am happy for him but if I'm being honest I've never really understood how they decide who to give it to and what it's for. Michael J Fox is an amazing example of never giving up so I don't say that to belittle him. I just remember that Rush Limbaugh got one too.
Michael is an amazing example of humanity. So many would have retreated into privacy, but he has used his celebrity to advance hope and dignity for so many, and for so long.
I will never forget or forgive Trump making fun of him. Michael J. Fox is a national treasure and inspiration to all who live with Parkinson's Disease and their loved ones and care takers.

Rump is cruel. Michael J. Fox is a high caliber warrior, with far more courage than most. Yes. He is deserving of this award and many other awards as well.
I will never forgive Trump for rewarding Rush Limbaugh, nor will I ever forgive Rush for mocking and trashing Michael after his Senate testimony. Limbaugh's medal of Freedom award was criminal.
I'm tearing up today for several reasons. This is bittersweet. Sweet because...well, duh. Bitter because of what we could be looking forward to. Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who didn't vote for Harris.
As time passes during the Trump ‘Presidency’, most Americans will realise what a great President Joe Biden has been, and what a massive loss for the country Trump’s win was.
That Michael is with us and that disgusting blowhard who mocked him on the air is not tells me that there is a tiny, tiny bit of justice in this world.
My husband died from end stage Parkinson's in 2017. It was horrible. Michael has been such a fighter & leader for a cure. God bless him & his tireless wife.
My husband has Parkinson’s. What MJF has done for raising funds for research of this horrible disease and for public awareness is heroic. This honor is well deserved.
I just want to inform people, it's not fully studied yet but it looks like the tetanus vaccine prevents Parkinson's. 0 risk of it developing within 2 years of the vaccine (Tdap) and over 80% reduced risk within 5years. My dad died of parkies so I'm getting it every 2 years.
It is incredible in every way! Two heroes, two amazing gentlemen and two incredible skilled and wise artists (yes, it's an art to run a country I believe). I grew up watching Michael J. Fox and his movies, so it deeply an honor to watch him getting credit and love! 🤩🫶💙
How do I know peace ends poverty? First there are no aggressor Nations only businessman. Story has been told too many times. No people want war today. All people want peace and security. You know the stuff the businessman always promises. War ain't nothing but a way to keep you poor!!

Can we all jump into MJF’s car and fly to the future so we can skip the coming 4 years (if any future is left after 4 more years of the orange baboon and his lover the pale leprechaun …)
Michael J Fox has more class in his left toe than the entire Trump grifter family has in total. The fact that Donald Trump mocks disabled people publicly and people laughed or ignored it and still voted for him is truly pathetic. Wake up MAGA, you’re in a cult. #DestroyCultOfTrump.
Matthew has done amazing things in his life despite his struggles with Parkinson's. He is a strong, amazing human being.
Bless Matthew & bless President Biden❣️
Source? Idk about you but I think the Indian removal act, Japanese internment camps, and bison hunting all seem far worse than anything Biden has done. I'm not a fan of him, but calling him "the worst war criminal" we had recently is a joke. P sure trump and Bush did for worse lmao
Are you really not even aware of his Gaza genocide? Why do you think we call him Genocide Joe? Why do you think he's AIPAC highest paid agent?
And yes, the Indian genocide was worse but it's not recent.
Bush had a higher toll but for a Dem and for this age we expected better. Stupid us.
My guy I'm not saying he's not bad. You're so primed to fight and be angry x.x I think he fucked up royal in regards to Gaza too. I'm sure we actually agree on a lot of points. I just don't think your hyperbole is accurate, especially because EVERY US president has blindly supported Israel.
It is sad that figures like Rush Limbaugh and that one woman who paid an obscene amount towards the trump administration have similar medals for completely opposite reasons.
I will miss Joe Biden. We recognized some really good people. I love Michael J Fox he wanted to help other people suffering from this horrible disease. He deserves this!
Michael J Fox has been going through hell and shown nothing but courage, bravery, thanks and compassion. Well deserved! Congrats to what humans should strive for!
Biden is a human being. I don't know how to describe the convicted felon-elect, especially when you take these things into consideration. He doesn't have one redeeming quality . . .
Americans couldn’t come to terms of electing a women president, they would have voted for a far worse candidate then trump just to avoid a female president, that is a reality unfortunately
Here's a fun and easy way to show your support for his foundation that doesn't involve an outright cash donation. You do have to be over 40 & you don't get answers, but we passed the test to our kids & it was obvious the one their dad thought was mac'n'chz smelled like motor oil to the rest of us.
Michael J Fox isn't a hero because of Parkinson's, he's a hero for how he responded to it by using his celebrity to help others with this disease and fund research. Thank you Mr. Fox !
He also recognizes that he has both a platform and enough money to take care of his family, get excellent healthcare, and be a voice for those less privileged.
A class act all the way.
Trump making fun of Biden giving out "fake" medals according to him. The same guy who told his brother to let his disabled son die.who also made fun of a disabled man at one of his rallies. This man is deranged and despicable. He need to be pushing up daisies himself!
Seeing him twitching brought me to tears. I worked with a guy many years ago who had Parkinson's disease and every day that he showed up and bravely tried to work broke my heart.
He's at peace now, for many years.

I am really happy for him.
Thank you.
Just as his equally vile buddy trump did to a different man during a “speech”.

Bless Matthew & bless President Biden❣️
I mean, I see the medal but do you see on his shoulders the hands of the worst war criminal US had recently as president?
And yes, the Indian genocide was worse but it's not recent.
Bush had a higher toll but for a Dem and for this age we expected better. Stupid us.
Congrats Michael!!!
British, and do not want to think about the people 47 will choose to honour.
Am I correct in thinking he honoured Rush Limbaugh last time?
A role model for us all.
In fact, more people couldn’t bring themselves to vote for her than voted for Trump.
A class act all the way.
He's at peace now, for many years.
