Dolly Parton in 2017 on Republican opposition to LGBTQ+ rights:

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
These project 2025 MF’s are gonna kill us. Science is not political. Evidence-based research. Peer-reviewed studies. These are not negotiable. What the hell is “conservative-based research”?
I really want him to follow up with the Iliad, following Lupita Nyong'o being a political pawn for both Gods and Kings, and dealing with her complicated relationship with Paris and how she ended up the way she is in the movie

If Ken Paxton beats James Talarico in the general election it means:
1) MAGAs don't care about child sex abuse
2) MAGAs don't care about securities fraud
3) MAGAs don't care about bribery
4) MAGAs don't care about infidelity
It would mean MAGAs are completely full of shit.
