Got to see the legend & original Dreamgirl, Miss Jennifer Holliday. On the cusp of the 45th anniversary of the original Broadway show, Miss Holliday is doing intimate shows and giving away original 45s of “And I am Telling You” to lucky ticket holders. I was one of them!!! #broadway #dreamgirls

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

When the Gatlinburg Wildfires happened in 2016, Dolly gave impacted families $1,000/month to help them get back on their feet. This included my father-in-law, who lost everything in the fire. Dolly gave children in TN free books each month, from birth to the age of five. She was a goddamn saint.

PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.
Are you having fanatical thoughts about other people's crotches?
Has hating a minority group become your entire personality?
Do you obsess over other people's toilet use?
If so, you could be a danger to others - it's time to seek help.

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what’s going on in the south right now with voting rights and erasure, is a “kitchen table issue” — for Black families. And it should be for everyone.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

Yes, human use is not the only use - and all uses are interdependent.

Is ICE really leaving Minnesota? The data is complicated.
Community observations are a proxy for the intensity of Operation Metro Surge, but comes with caveats.
