In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

The Jury Finding: In May 2023, a federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse (specifically, forcible digital penetration) and defamation, awarding Carroll damages. MAGA people are disgusting.

A grocery chain that calls itself the “Real Canadian Superstore” sure as heck better be clearly identifying the country of origin of the products it sells - particularly produce.

All Albertans outside of Edmonton and Calgary should definitely read this article.

TLDR: the party rural AB keeps voting for continues to make EVERYTHING worse for rural AB

Dolly Parton declined two offers to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom during Trump’s first term.

Incest.
Nice.
Republicans are dysfunctional sociopaths.
Patriarchy's toxic losers.

Too bad SCOTUS won’t pump the breaks. After the midterms, Congress could adopt a measure prohibiting executive expenditures like this if a veto proof majority believes in the separation of powers.

[Duane Bratt🇨🇦 @DuaneBratt]

This is an excellent idea! Separation is not a left-right issue or a partisan issue. Alberta federalists need a rainbow coalition to support Canada in this province. https://t.co/UPqN2wSmK1

Dolly Parton was an absolute legend. She revolutionized country music and set an incredible example as a pioneering businesswoman, not just an entertainer. She will be so greatly missed. https://t.co/ufswWWXY2x

…islands in the stream, that is what we are

[AJ Punk 🇨🇦 @SilentSnow89]

So, the US wanted, among other things:

- to limit Canada's autonomy to pursue trade partnerships with other countries (an attack on our sovereignty)
- to exclude medium and heavy-duty trucks from tariff exemptions (which would harm Canada more than America)
- to force Canada to back down on requirements for Canadian-created and French-language content on streaming services like Netflix

It's a good thing Carney is PM. Skippy Poilievre would've surrendered all of this and more.

Dear Donnie: we will NEVER surrender our sovereignty.

Signed, #Canada 🇨🇦

There is a group of wolves in British Columbia known as "sea wolves".

They're behaviourally distinct, swimming from island to island and preying on sea animals.

90% of their food comes from the sea. They've distinct DNA that sets them apart from mainland wolves and are entirely dedicated to the sea.
