This, to me, was the magic of Dolly Parton. She refused to make anyone feel less than—because she herself had constantly been reduced to a trope. She understood that people were complicated.
People crave that discernment, so people craved Dolly. The world needs that.
The biggest feature of antisemites is they lie constantly to justify their bigotry.
The Ellisons don’t donate to the IDF. The IDF doesn’t even take private donations. They donate to the FIDF, a program to support military families. It has 0 to do with actual military activities.

Didn’t realize Pete Crow-Armstrong, who hit two home runs last night including a walk-off, said in 2022 that he was babysat by Hayden Panettiere growing up.
PCA’s parents both worked alongside her on Heroes in the late 2000s.
So everyone is sharing an out-of-context incorrect analysis of data to suggest that 82% of pregnant women who received the COVID vaccine had a miscarriage and therefore wildly claim it was "like an abortion shot."
That is absolutely not true. And, of course, if this had actually happened, it would've been apparent and would've shown up in the massive, global data analysis that has been done and never found any increase in miscarriage rates associated with COVID vaccines in pregnancy.
Meanwhile, the whole statistical misinterpretation everyone is sharing is based on an incorrect denominator, and the actual number, when calculated correctly, is 12%, which is the same as the typical 1st-trimester miscarriage rate in a pregnant population.
But millions of people are just falling for and sharing insane misinformation, and countless understandably heartbroken mothers who experienced miscarriages are now accusing doctors of murdering their babies.
We are so cooked.
It's repulsive how many people jeer at this stuff. Haiti is controlled by armed gangs. People are starving, it's hard to get basic essentials like medicine, & violence is routine. Every smug keyboard warrior mocking this man would also be sobbing if they were living his reality.
