So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP

Nate Bargatze, I thought I knew ya, clean family comedy. So many folks have sold their souls because of Trump. They have gone to jail, lost family and friends, lost careers, lost their savings, lost their health, or lost their lives. Associating with a bad human is not wise. Sad for you.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Here in the US, many of us know that we are witnessing the fall of the US. That's why we're fighting to save it. We also know that the world is watching and we're hoping that they step in to help if necessary.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

If Trump gets away with destroying Due Process for Kilmar Garcia, he’ll think he can sweep anyone off the street and ship them to a prison in an authoritarian state to escape our Constitution. We must heed the Supreme Court and get him back.

Supreme Court says Trump officials should help return wrongly deported Maryland man

The Supreme Court ordered the administration to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly taken to El Salvador and remains in custody there.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."
