In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself. That's the kind of person Dolly Parton was, besides being an incredible artist. The earth was blessed by the Universe because Dolly Parton crossed this path. She lives on in our hearts 💕
Miley Cyrus & Dolly Parton singing I Will Always Love You x Wrecking Ball. Their last performance together and one of the greatest performances ever.
Every time I think about what these two brilliant women could’ve done for America, and how the nation said, “Nah— we’ll take the corrupt, racist, sex-abusing, demented, malignant narcissist”— it fills me with indescribable sadness and rage.
The sudden outbreak of “conscience” from the same people who built, fed, and defended Trumpism is not awakening…it’s convenience.

All of them were architects of the chaos we’re living in right now.
They didn’t just support Trump, they sanitized him. They didn’t just defend his policies, they amplified them. They didn’t just flirt with extremism, they mainlined it into millions of homes.
They mocked truth, demonized Black people, attacked DEI, tried to erase Black history, cheered racist immigration policies, and fueled white grievance and called it patriotism.
As long as the pain was hitting the people they despised, Black folks, immigrants, the poor, the marginalized, they were perfectly fine with it.
Now… suddenly…they’ve “found their voice.” Now they’re concerned about war, questioning foreign policy, and pretending to have moral clarity.
Miss me with that. We are not impressed. We are not moved. We do not care
You don’t get to help set the house on fire and then expect applause for grabbing a bucket when the flames reach your front porch.
This isn’t courage, it’s consequences. It’s not conviction, it’s self-preservation.
We are in this mess because of YOU. You gave him credibility. You gave him cover. You gave him power. Not once, but twice.
So no, we don’t feel bad for you and we’re not listening to you. You don’t get redemption while the rest of us are still dealing with the damage you helped create.
You are a day late and a dollar short. And whatever reckoning comes, you earned every bit of it.
May you have the day you voted for.
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
Huge crowds of protesters took to the streets in more than 3,000 cities and towns across the country Saturday to again call out President Trump and his polices, with organizers saying this one could be the biggest so far.

What Nick Cannon said is exactly how misinformation spreads.
Yes, the KKK was tied to Southern Democrats in the 1800s. That part is true.
But leaving out what happened next changes the entire meaning.
In the 1960s, after Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the racists who supported segregation did not just disappear…
They left the Democratic Party and shifted politically. That is a huge part of the story that keeps getting left out.
AND THAT MATTERS.
Because when we, especially Black voices with big platforms, repeat half stories, it does not just stay a conversation. It spreads and it can be used against us.
We cannot afford to be loud and wrong at the same time, especially right now.
BREAKING: Michelle Obama on Jimmy Kimmel talking about Rob Reiner, and taking clear swipe at Trump. .
“We’ve known them for many, many years and we were supposed to be seeing them that night, and we got the news. Let me just say this, unlike some people: Rob and Michele Reiner are some of the most decent, courageous people you ever want to know. They are not deranged or crazed. What they have always been, are passionate people.”
