If someone has mentioned Jasmine Crockett today, can you let me know if they are spreading information on this as well or are they only spending time hating on a Black woman?
Keith Lee's latest visit to Gary, Indiana is a reminder of what can happen when visibility turns into action and community answers the call.
After seeing residents of Gary struggling in the aftermath of the August 11 storms, Keith used his platform to bring attention and resources to the city. In just days, that call grew into a massive relief effort with 40+ food trucks, hundreds of volunteers, more than 10 companies and thousands of residents receiving food, cleaning supplies and other essentials.
Keith contributed $15,000 toward the effort, with Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton matching his donation for a combined $30,000. The Salvation Army, City of Gary, Ace Hardware and others also joined the effort.
Gary, we see you. 🤎
An unexpected honor: Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, visited DC VA Medical Center this month - joining VA Community Living Center Veteran-residents and staff for a music therapy session while embracing our therapy puppy, and touring programs from Radiation Oncology to Women's Health. #VeteranCare
#They always misuse and misunderstand that one line from the "I Have A Dream" speech that references "color of skin"...#they don't care about the context, nor the rest of the speech.
I need white folks here and in Texas to worry about how your family members will vote for the GOP/MAGA in the TX midterms and not Jasmine Crockett being your GOTV mule. You told her she was too polarizing against Paxton. A JT super Pac darkened her skin. Stop playing in her face.
If you're just tuning in, the guy who much of the 'anti-war' commentariat and political media convinced people that had the preferable foreign policy is involved in an all-out blood feud, attacking our closed ally, while gratuitously defending and helping North Korea.
Great job all around!
The RNC thanks you for your contribution
By the way almost every Dem has issued statement against the Canadian trade war. But you don’t see it in your algorithm because that doesn’t feed your world view
Today is Women’s Equality Day, marking the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
But here's the part of the story that deserves more attention:
The amendment said women couldn't be denied the vote because of sex.
It did not erase poll taxes.
It did not erase literacy tests.
It did not stop voter intimidation.
It did not stop racist election laws.
For Black women, the fight continued.
Dolly Parton choosing not to be a billionaire is my favorite thing about her. That lady could’ve been unbelievably rich if she didn’t give af about people. She’s proof that all these other folks have a choice to not be evil as hell but they just wanna be.
The world has lost a songwriter whose music refused to stay inside one genre.
Dolly Parton, the country music legend whose career spanned more than six decades, has passed at 80.
Parton became one of country music’s most celebrated figures. But her influence reached far beyond Nashville.
In 1992, Whitney Houston took Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” and turned it into a record-breaking global phenomenon, spending 14 weeks at No. 1 and creating one of the most unforgettable vocal performances of all time.
More than three decades later, on Beyoncé’s history-making COWBOY CARTER, Parton introduced “Jolene” before Beyoncé completely reimagined the country classic on her own terms.
Today, we remember the woman behind the rhinestones, the songwriter behind the standards and a catalog that will keep finding new voices for generations to come.
We will always love you, Dolly Parton.

If Dolly taught me anything, it’s to never have these folks catch you lacking. She always looked her best, she controlled her image, and how she showed up in the world. Even until the very end, she let us know on her terms compared to any other outlet.
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
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at https://t.co/arzrqInqJA
Dolly Parton created the Dollywood Foundation in 1988 to provide inspiration and educational resources to children.
The Imagination Library, inspired by her father’s inability to read, has donated millions of books globally to promote childhood literacy.
Thank you, Dolly.
