Dolly Parton, who died at 80, had a vast discography where she established herself as hardscrabble, emotionally forthright and full of intuition. Here are six of the infectious classics that Parton was behind, followed by a playlist of more gems:

The essential songs of Dolly Parton

It’s nearly impossible reduce the country superstar to just one facet. But her songwriting is what started it all.

Sex trafficking survivors in North Texas rarely see a dime from their abusers, despite federal laws requiring it. But in other districts across the nation, some prosecutors make compensating victims a top priority. bit.ly/4gG9618

In 2020 I ran for school board as a relative unknown. I got connected w/ state reps @jamestalarico.bsky.social & @bucyfortexas.bsky.social. I told them I wanted RRISD to care for ALL students, not just high performing ones, and both chose to support me. Was so happy to support James in FW yesterday.

This week, eight Texas activists were sentenced to between 30 and 100 years in prison — one for attempted murder, but most for supposedly belonging to an insurrectionary “Antifa cell,” including one sentenced to 30 years in part for moving a box of zines. Read more from @gabydvj.bsky.social:

Every time this happens some losers come out of the woodwork to say that it's totally normal but actually no it's not, it's all just failures that we're paying for to make billionaires feel like special boys. The budget for crewed spaceflight should be zero, it's just UBI for incompetent fascists.

No one who knows anything about youth engagement believed this would be a panacea. It’s just like any acute measure, trying to deal with a symptom because you’re either too lazy or ignorant to address the root illness. Cellphones aren’t the root cause of why kids aren’t paying attention in class.

Raise your hand if you’ve heard ANYTHING about the Alexander Brothers! These guys are on trial for sex trafficking on a level similar to #Epstein. You probably haven’t heard much or anything about them because they’re rich, white men. Funny how that happens. 🤔 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
