Simply put, Dolly Parton was an American original. She was an inspiration to millions. She was a relentless advocate for women and for equality. Through her Imagination Library, she placed the gift of reading into the hands of millions of children because she understood literacy is the foundation of opportunity.

But perhaps most importantly, Dolly treated everyone with kindness and respect. She lived her values with a flair and vitality for life that was uniquely her own. She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word, and she will be missed by millions around the world.

Jill and I are keeping her family, her friends, and her millions of fans in our prayers.

God bless Dolly Parton.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Dolly Parton was one of a kind—a great songwriter and performer who told the stories of everyday Americans with honesty, humility, and heart. She rose high from her East Tennessee roots and never forgot where she came from. And she always believed in giving back, especially in her efforts to promote literacy. Hillary and I were big fans and first saw her in 1974, and will always be grateful for the music and the memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, her legion of fans, and everyone who loved her.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Dolly Parton was one of the great entertainers of our era. She was not only a talented musician & songwriter, but a lifelong philanthropist and advocate for literacy, education, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare and disaster relief.

Her music and humanity touched millions. She will be sorely missed.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Dolly Parton didn’t spend her dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because she was writing checks to put 150 million books in the hands of children.

Leading up to the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the U.S. president is trying to paint Canada as an enemy.

Canada was your neighbour that took in US-bound planes after the attacks and welcomed stranded Americans into our homes.

Canada sent 40,000 troops to fight for you.

158 Canadians died fighting for you.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Warm and sincere Independence Day wishes from His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen are deeply moving and exceptionally meaningful.

I am grateful for the emphasis on Ukraine’s history, rich culture, and unyielding national spirit, as well as the resilience of the Ukrainian people, who continue to defend their homeland and uphold the values that define our state.

The steadfast friendship between Ukraine and the United Kingdom remains an invaluable wellspring of strength for our nation.

We are sincerely grateful for the constant solidarity shown by the British people. Our special bond is built upon our shared commitment to freedom, democracy, and justice.

I wish His Majesty good health and continued success, as well as peace and prosperity for the United Kingdom and its people.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Deeply grateful to His Majesty King Felipe VI @CasaReal and the people of Spain for the warm greetings on Ukraine’s Independence Day.

We truly value Spain’s steadfast support for our sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as our strong friendship and partnership.

Together, we stand united in pursuit of a just and lasting peace in Europe.

¡Muchas gracias, España! 🇺🇦🇪🇸

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I am grateful to Prime Minister @andyburnham for making his first foreign visit specifically to Ukraine, on the anniversary of the restoration of our independence.

Our partnership with the UK is special for Ukraine – we have built an unprecedentedly strong and friendly dialogue that we can certainly be proud of. It was an honor, on behalf of the Ukrainian people, to present Andy with the first new state distinction – “Gratitude of the Ukrainian People,” awarded to the people of the United Kingdom. And today we are expanding our cooperation even further – Ukraine and the United Kingdom will develop their partnership in the field of artificial intelligence. We signed the relevant declaration today.

During our meeting today, we discussed the full range of our cooperation – licenses to produce Storm Shadows, assistance with insurance in the Ukrainian market, how to ensure Ukraine’s financial resilience, diplomacy, and other issues. We value the fact that the UK’s course remains unchanged – full support for Ukraine and our defense. Thank you, Andy! Thank you, Great Britain!

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?

For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir,  which according to the UN,  amounts to torture and which  is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health. 

He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.

The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.

He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.

Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive  medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.

Yet those orders are being defied.

This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.

He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and  include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.

His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls. 

I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not  intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father. 

@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court;  restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.

Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government  to please now do the right thing.

@HackWithAlex @instagram @Meta Hey, yes that’s very handy to know. I do still have access to my email accounts so I’ll send that over now

[Hamzah Rasheed @HASKR24]

@instagram @Meta my Instagram account got hacked and has now been disabled, which has then caused EVERYTHING associated to Meta (Facebook, Insta, Threads) to all disappear. I tried to appeal this but no options were available to add comments. How do I get my accounts back?

[Hamzah Rasheed @HASKR24]

@HackWithAlex @instagram @Meta Yes it was, thus my Facebook and Threads accounts have also now gone 😢
