I’m happy to announce that EVERY original painting on my site has sold out thanks to Ms. Rachel making my art go viral! Thanks for the $2K art supply donation, too! Other people are also support and sending me donations now! I am so blessed and thankful 😩🙏🏾❤️
They can call me what they want but, ya'll know me, I'm still Angie. These corrupt people are scared of a Black, working-class woman coming to take on the establishment in the U.S. Senate.
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
I am NOT keeping quiet on this at all.
As a veteran myself, and as someone who comes from a family of veterans who served this country and broke barriers themselves, I find this absolutely disgraceful.
I strongly disagree with any effort to remove Doris “Dorie” Miller’s name from the future USS Doris Miller (CVN-81). Whoever thought this was a bright idea is completely wrong.
This should not happen.
Doris Miller’s name is not there because of politics. His name is there because of courage, sacrifice, service, and American history.
Miller was born in Waco, Texas, in 1919 and enlisted in the United States Navy in 1939. At a time when the Navy was segregated and opportunities for Black sailors were severely restricted, Miller served as a mess attendant — one of the few positions available to Black sailors.
Then came December 7, 1941.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, Miller was serving aboard the USS West Virginia. In the middle of explosions, fire, enemy aircraft, and death, Miller helped move his wounded commanding officer and assisted injured sailors.
Then, despite having no formal training as an anti-aircraft gunner, Miller took control of a machine gun and fired at attacking Japanese aircraft.
Think about that.
A Black sailor serving in a segregated Navy — a Navy that limited what he was even allowed to do — did not hesitate when his country came under attack.
He fought.
For his heroism, Doris Miller became the first Black American to receive the Navy Cross.
And his service did not end at Pearl Harbor.
Miller continued serving during World War II. On November 24, 1943, at only 24 years old, he was killed when the USS Liscome Bay was torpedoed during operations in the Gilbert Islands.
He gave his life for this country.
THAT is the kind of American whose name belongs on a United States Navy aircraft carrier.
And this is why this hits differently for me as a veteran and as someone whose own family has a history of military service and breaking barriers. I understand what those names, those uniforms, and those legacies represent.
Honoring trailblazers like Doris Miller tells future generations that their sacrifices mattered and that their place in our military history will not simply disappear when political leadership changes.
The future USS Doris Miller represents more than one man. It represents generations of Black service members who served this nation with courage and distinction even while being denied equal treatment by the very country they were willing to die defending.
And let me be clear: this is not about whether you support or oppose President Donald Trump.
A sitting president does not need to replace an American war hero in order to be honored. There are other ships. There will be other opportunities.
Doris Miller EARNED this honor through courage, blood, sacrifice, and service.
Some things should be bigger than politics.
Some names should transcend politics.
Doris “Dorie” Miller is one of those names.
Keep his name on CVN-81.
Honor the sailor.
Honor the hero.
Honor the sacrifice.
Honor our history.
🇺🇸⚓ Doris Miller earned his place in American history. Let him keep it.

Happy birthday, @BarackObama! 65 never looked better. Every day, you make me a better person, and I’m thankful for all the ways you show up for our family and our country. Love you. ❤️
🚨This mother from Texas needs help. Her son had his wages stolen from a Wingstop, when she confronted the management, they let him go. This is abuse of child labor, wage theft, and perhaps a class action lawsuit would definitely get @wingstop's attention then. @realAFLF@USDOL
3,000 miles. Philly to California. On foot. Isaiah Thomas walked every step to build a trade school for young people who need a real path forward. The road tested him — and he never stopped. That's real faith and courage.
