randomly giving out genuine compliments is such an easy way to make the world a little nicer, i'm always surprised more people haven't figured that out and have a ton of respect for those who have

Screenshot of tweet by Eminem. Text of Eminem's post reads:

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Attached is an image of a classy and generous letter Dolly Parton sent to Eminem after missing a chance to meet him at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

California is debating legislation right now that would ban all ICE employees from ever being hired by a public agency for life. This is good and next year's Democratic House needs to provide a full roster of ICE employees to help facilitate state efforts like this one.

May our children —and most certainly— may our grandchildren live to see the day when dissents like this are no longer necessary

“I dissent. The voting rights act is or, now more accurately, was, one of the most consequential,efficacious and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our nations history. It was born of thr literal blood of union soldiers and civil rights marchers. it ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality and it has repeatedly & overwhelmingly re-authorized by the People’s representatives in Congress. only *they* have the right to say it is no longer needed —not the members of this court. I dissent, the, from this latest chapter in the majority’s now completed demolition of the voting rights act.
signed, Justin Elena Kagan

A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didn’t just strike Iran’s government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority – and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli

By Killing Khamenei, the West Created a Martyr – and Mainstream Media Is Ignoring the Muslim Backlash

Ali Khamenei was not Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi. Killing him will have religious reverberations throughout the Muslim world for years to come.

I know this is kind of spitting into the wind, but I'd like to make an effort: Just because ICE calls them "administrative warrants" doesn't make that the most accurate term for them. They are forms. ICE forms. Signed by an ICE employee. Authorizing an arrest, but still, a _form._
