Dolly Parton never wanted us fighting over whether she was red or blue. She wanted us to ALL be Americans.
And she showed us what she believed in:
- Kids should have books.
- People struggling deserve help.
- Everyone deserves dignity.
- Success means giving something back.
- And kindness doesn't require a party affiliation.
Maybe the best way to honor Dolly to build a country that looks a little more like the one she spent her life trying to create:
Kinder. More generous. Less judgmental. And looking out for one another.
That feels like a pretty damn good direction for tomorrow.
Rest in peace, Dolly ❤️

Drapetomania was a 19th-century psychiatric diagnosis created to explain why enslaved Black people attempted to escape captivity. Coined in 1851 by American physician Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright, it pathologized the natural human desire for freedom.

Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s best friends have released a statement honoring them to the Associated Press:
“Going to the movies in a dark theater filled with strangers having a common experience, laughing, crying, screaming in fear, or watching an intense drama unfold is still an unforgettable thrill. Tell us a story audiences demand of us. Absorbing all he had learned from his father Carl and his mentor Norman Lear, Rob Reiner not only was a great comic actor, he became a master story teller. There is no other director who has his range. From comedy to drama to ‘mockumentary’ to documentary he was always at the top of his game. He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his films.
His comedic touch was beyond compare, his love of getting the music of the dialogue just right, and his sharpening of the edge of a drama was simply elegant. For the actors, he loved them. For the writers he made them better. His greatest gift was freedom. If you had an idea, he listened, he brought you into the process. They always felt they were working as a team. To be in his hands as a film maker was a privilege but that is only part of his legacy.
Rob was also a passionate, brave citizen, who not only cared for this country he loved, he did everything he could to make it better and with his loving wife Michele, he had the perfect partner. Strong and determined, Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens… They were a special force together-dynamic, unselfish and inspiring. We were their friends, and we will miss them forever.
There is a line from one of Rob’s favorite films, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ ‘Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?’ You have no idea.”
