My dad loved country and took me to see the greats before I was old enough to appreciate it. When I saw Dolly, I was just happy she sang "Coat of Many Colors." I've read so much about her the last 2 days, but this one broke me at the line about dedicating the book to her father. A perfect tribute.

I know the point is to confuse us and hope for low turnout, but only the House primaries have been cancelled. Voting on the amendments, Senate, and other elections is still May 16th, with early voting starting tomorrow.

Why are we even focusing on the distraction of whether or not he will actually donate it to charity? That's irrelevant. It's not his to donate. This is our money, and the president cannot just decide to award it to himself.

We just got our letters. We're self employed, so we have to purchase our own insurance. Between loss of subsidy and increased premiums, our insurance is going from $1330/mo to $2438/mo, with increased deductibles and copays. That's 16k/yr to >29K/yr. This isn't sustainable. Who can afford this?

E enabled by people too cowardly and incompetent to stop it, the Project 2025 Presidency has done in months what our enemies couldn't do in a 100 years. It astounds me that the same folks who've been shouting about "government overreach" for two decades are cheering it all on now.

More than corruption, all the cancelled research in every sector is the very definition of waste. It's billions of $$$ & years of time/expertise lost, that will cost us more than money. It leads to a lower quality of life for all of us as the US gives up it's role as the leader in new technologies.

Most people don't answer calls from unknown numbers, but being self-employed, I do—in case it's a potential new client. So I often get calls asking my opinion about certain topics. I just got one, and for the first time ever, I hesitated when asked who I voted for. That's where we are

Jena, LA back in the news, unsurprisingly for the same thing that always gets it in the news. The only thing that's changed is a bigger prison facility.

Great stuff here from @wired.com. I continue to be amazed at how niche press (Wired, Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue) has managed to become the face of this sort of reporting and organising while the mainstream media has done worse than failing.

This is quite the read, from beginning to end. When 700 year-old documents are popping up to remind us of our rights, perhaps we ought to listen.

Once they have these private facilities, they will keep them filled. Anyone who thinks incarceration will be limited to undocumented migrants is willfully ignorant.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.

Musk does not think living humans are important to the future. Of course he’s actively targeting everything intended to sustain life. We’ve got to stop pretending a guy in a cult that prioritizes artificial humanlike consciousness over real humans has normal motives. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/o...

And not enough people listened and not enough of the business community believed it and not enough media amplified the story and not enough leaders called out Trump’s lies that he didn’t know anything about this. * ProPublica remains a courageous force for good worth supporting & sharing.

It's 2025, and the 1% still think the rest of us have no right to a say in the world we inhabit. Stop being distracted by all the crap they spew to keep us mad at each other. Direct that anger where it belongs. We have the power to change the system, if only we had the collective will to do it.

When Kristen Welker asks you "are you going to shut down the government?" the only answer in the present crisis should be "Elon Musk is shutting down the government agency by agency, we're going to do all we can to stop him.". Why are most Dems so bad at this?

We really need someone to revive Schoolhouse Rock for the modern era, and flood it all over every site. We all still remember the songs. We all learned from it. It's the bite sized, easy explainer with a hook that's perfect for the current attention span and addiction to short videos.
