What is the source of the Facebook feed "The Obama Family?"

It includes lots of nice family pictures, but also lots of anti-Trump jokes that I can't imagine coming from the Obamas. I don't understand Facebook real well and don't know why I'm seeing this.

I use a browser plugin called FB Purity. It helps hide a bunch of suggested, unsolicited junk in Facebook.
