"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

Dolly had this "no shit, Sherlock" approach to social issues that used to be very ingrained in the country star archetype. like, always admitting she doesn't know everything, but wanting to get it right and not taking any shit at the same time. may we all be so humble
Dolly Parton supported so many important causes, among them donating a million dollars to COVID vaccine research early in the pandemic, which saved millions of lives. She will always be remembered as a champion of the people.
FUN FACT: Mitch McConnell has been on paid medical leave for 51 days now. That's over 7 weeks.
This is a week longer than the 6 weeks of maternity leave that women in the US are not guaranteed after giving birth.
Michigan holds nearly 20% of the world’s fresh surface water, a sacred trust we are obligated to protect for future generations. That is not negotiable.
So let me be blunt: Governor Whitmer smiling for photos with Sam Altman while handing over Michigan’s water and energy to his data centers is a betrayal of every family that depends on these resources. This isn’t economic development, it’s a sweetheart deal for a Silicon Valley billionaire at Michigan taxpayers’ expense.
AI data centers consume millions of gallons of water and massive amounts of electricity.
Who pays the price? Michigan families, farmers, and communities.
Who pockets the profits? Out-of-state tech oligarchs who will never have to live with the consequences.
I am running for Congress because Michigan’s water, land, and energy belong to the people of Michigan, not to the billionaire class and not to politicians who roll out the red carpet for them.
We will not subsidize the exploitation of our most precious natural resources so the ultra-wealthy can grow even richer.
Enough. Michigan is not for sale.
