@gryffinofficial While my simple thanks to you in person doesn’t describe how thankful I am work you created, I hope saying it now gives you a better idea…I’ll never feel alone, because I got me and that should be enough…everything else is a bonus.
A simple thank you….to the artists that help bring the music that helps me and holds me together through my tough times. Again, music is so powerful…when words can’t describe how you feel…how hard life is, how much things hurt or how happy you are….music gets you there. 1/3
Thank you @gryffinofficial for the incredible show tonight and for your music. You collaborated with so many talented singers and artists….Rita Ora, Inéz, OneRepublic, to name a few…that your works of art of helped me more than you could ever know.
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.
@johnsummit I mean, have you heard the man’s motto “while you are alive, one should love as much as possible” …I think it’s a positive message to put out there @johnsummit
🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent POINTED A GUN at a U.S. citizen, through her car window, while threatening her, in Falls Church, Virginia.
And the excuse?
They claimed she “almost ran them over.”
Except… she had a dash cam recording the entire thing.
She immediately called their bullshit:
“You are so full of shit. I didn’t almost run anyone over.”
The agent tells her, “You aren’t funny.”
She responds, “You aren’t funny.”
Then he threatens her… “Keep it up, I will arrest you.” While he has his gun aimed inches away from her.
She says, “I’m a legal citizen, for what?”
And they keep threatening her with arrest.
Then, the agent repeats the accusation that she tried to run them over.
So, she tells him, “Run you over when? I have dash cam recording. That’s a lie.”
And suddenly… they WALK AWAY.
Because if she had actually tried to run federal agents over, why did they just leave after she called their bullshit, and said she had video proving them wrong?
And just to emphasize the seriousness of what happened…
An ARMED federal agent had his GUN POINTED AT A WOMAN, through her car window, while threatening her with arrest.
Pointing a firearm at someone is an enormous use of force that should NEVER be treated casually… especially when the supposed justification is an accusation they apparently couldn’t… or wouldn’t… back up.
She wasn’t arrested.
They didn’t show her evidence that she committed a crime.
They just threatened her, pointed a gun at her, and repeatedly told her they would lock her up if she continued following them.
And the SECOND she says, “I have it on dash cam,” they WALK AWAY.
Because apparently the threat disappears when there’s a camera that can prove what actually happened.
This is exactly why people need to DOCUMENT these encounters.
Because when armed federal agents can point guns at citizens, and make accusations with seemingly no consequences, the public needs cameras.
And when they threaten you for asking, “For what?”
keep recording.
I swear chicago might be the best city for house music in the world. I had so much fun yesterday at lolla and radius is just so undefeated man

So I was soooo nervous about doing this but I’m a huge fan of @johnsummit and personally for me, his music has helped me get through a lot of personal struggles and hardships recently…music does that for a lot of us I believe. 1/2
Cannot tell you how enthusiastic and onboard my front row gang was and how awesome the crowd was!!!! I brought party favors and glasses and it was a blast!! What made it even better was John actually seeing our message and acknowledging it!!!! 3/4
It made my day & I hope it made his day to. It’s a little thing but it’s just a way to show an artist how much u appreciate the work they put into their music because it can really help someone when they are down & feeling defeated. 4/5
