Aretha Franklin’s performance at the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors is one of the most iconic moments in the event’s history.

She sang ”(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” as a tribute to honoree Carole King, who co-wrote the song. Aretha came out in a floor-length fur coat, sat at the piano, and brought the entire audience to their feet.

What made it so legendary was the raw soul and power she brought to the stage. When she hit the high notes near the end, Carole King looked completely overwhelmed with joy and emotion. Obama wiped away a tear. The whole room was electrified.

The reason we’re all so anxious is because we’re about to find out in less than two months if America is too stupid to live.

V cool Governor 😎 esp. the Warren Zevon ❤️

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

I’ll tell you how cool Tim Walz is:

1. Dude shops at his local record store for vinyl….shout out @efetusmpls in Minneapolis
2. He’s a fan of Warren Zevon, Steve Winwood, Genesis and The Moody Blues
3. End tweet

I literally could post this every day given the rate of mass shootings in America.

A reminder that the same Missouri lawmakers who say gun laws won't stop gun violence believe abortion laws will stop abortion.

Kids can’t go to school.
Believers can’t go to church.
Families can’t go to the grocery store.
Friends can’t go to a concert.
And now fans can’t go to a SUPER BOWL PARADE without the real fear of being a part of a mass shooting in America. WHAT ARE WE DOING?

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

I’ve shown the short and long version of this 1960 JFK ad dozens of times in classes for decades. RFK Jr.’s SuperBowl version is a sacrilege.

A TX man slipped abortion pills to his wife &severely damaged the fetus.

He got sentenced to 180 DAYS & got to keep his law license.

If she had taken the abortion pills voluntarily, she would have been charged with MURDER.

This is about controlling women.

This is why they need their ELECTED TREASURER in charge of meals tax collection! Electeds are accountable to the ppl! Gov bureaucrats? Not so much :(

Crime rings are trafficking in an unlikely treasure: sand Had no idea sand was 2nd most widely consumed natural resource after water but it makes sense when u know sand is a main ingredient in concrete. Global appetite for concrete has been going ⬆️ 4 yrs https://t.co/QnJjqjPxg2

Pundits & analysts have various reasons for VA results. The $$ poured into Virginia races or incumbent parties typically losing seats in the mid-terms, but they’re missing something. Women, women’s rights over their own bodies, women’s reproductive rights. And we voted. 👍🗳️🌊
