@johnesparza82@MollySm23563056@HazelAppleyard He has no say in her life period. He hasn’t raised her and taking away the phone she earned through hard work is horrible. I wouldn’t let my partner tell me what to do with my sons. I raised them. Only I have a say.
@EZlikeSunAM@TheTNHoller@KaceyMusgraves They shouldn’t be taking their families to see the show then if they think it’s too much or suggestive. You don’t sound like a fan at all!
Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
I have lived in America long enough to learn one absolute rule: Americans will argue about everything.
They argue about barbecue sauce. They argue about the weather. They argue about which truck brand can pull a heavier oak tree. In Tennessee, I once watched two men debate mayonnaise brands with the intensity of two samurais preparing for a duel at sunrise.
So yesterday, when I entered a diner off the highway and saw complete, heavy silence, I prepared for battle.
Every truck driver had removed his baseball cap. The TV in the corner was playing a message from a nephew. Men with beards down to their chests were quietly staring at their coffee cups.
"Charlene," I whispered to the waitress, keeping my hand near my side. "Has a foreign king declared war upon the republic?"
"No, honey," Charlene said, her voice shaking slightly as she wiped the counter with unusual slowness. "Aunt Dolly passed away. She went to rest on a bed of cotton."
I did not know this Aunt Dolly. But as I listened, I learned this woman gave over two hundred million books to children with no castle of their own, wrote songs that healed entire valleys, and spent eighty years wearing fifty pounds of shiny rhinestones so that everyone else could feel joy.
When a great feudal lord passes in Japan, the province weeps for forty days. Here, Charlene just put on a record called '9 to 5,' and fifteen grown men softly sang the chorus while staring at their hash browns.
I stood up, bowed ninety degrees to the television screen, and recited my deepest respect for the Queen of Tennessee.
Charlene gave me extra bacon and told me that Dolly would have liked my armor, though she would have probably glued glitter on the helmet.
Dolly Parton: My daddy told me that the Imagination Library probably was the most important thing I'd ever done. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission. In the beginning my hope was simply to inspire the children in my home county, but here we are today with a worldwide program that gives a book a month to over a million children.
Working with Dolly on “Home Sweet Home” was one of the true highlights of our career. We can still hear her voice saying, “Well, how about that, Dolly and Mötley at #1?”
Thank you for the music, the laughter, the kindness and the inspiration, Dolly.
Our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and fans around the world.
With love and respect,
Mötley Crüe
Maxime: You want to know how I ended up here? About two months ago, I recorded a video asking Mayor Mamdani to help open the playground in McKinley Park. It had been closed for almost two years. A few weeks later, the park was finally open. Thank you, Mayor Mamdani.
Listen, @DNC needs to find this woman and have them be a spokesperson.
I've never seen anyone spit so many facts and gems while not missing a bite.
No way she was going to let that bigot interrupt her lunch.

@PetP1anet@lemarthomas1911@LqLana@DNC Where are the receipts? Do you know of an undocumented immigrant who has gotten free healthcare. Who? When? Where?
@lemarthomas1911@LqLana@DNC No undocumented immigrants are getting free healthcare. They don’t go to the doctor. They suffer and try to make the best of the situation.
@Paamee_Ortiz@Aqui_mi_casa My brother was so clumsy as a child and he would drop stuff all the time. Found out later it was because he needed glasses! My sons didn’t get in trouble for dropping stuff. If they did, we cleaned it up together and then they got another one of whatever
@IsabellaMi24887 This is now an epidemic. It’s happening at alarming rates. I feel like I read about a family being murdered every week. It’s horrific b
