[Dolly Parton @DollyParton]

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

I was able to interview an American serving in the Ukrainian military at the truck handoff. Long T. Standing believes everyone needs to care about what is happening in Ukraine!

This week Kyiv was hit by missiles & Irish politicians are STILL defending the refinery supplying Russia’s war machine.

Today, another ship sailed from Ireland to Russia.

For years, the government tried to cover this up. Now the truth is coming out

Watch my full investigation:

Currently working on a short exposé documentary on how Steenhuisen caused the FMD epidemic to get out of hand. Here's an update

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion. From the very first minutes of February 24, Putin has been waging this war with complete disregard for how many of his own people he loses and how many of ours he kills.

Russian commanders are not merely inclined to act brutally – they receive explicit orders allowing them to kill however they please. That is why Russia’s war is so bloody, taking lives both on the front lines and in peaceful Ukrainian cities. That is why Russia not only kills adults but also abducts children and tries to re-educate them so that they will take part in the war once they grow up.

Russian commanders are now sending into assaults against Ukrainian positions those who were still in elementary school in 2014, when Crimea was occupied and Russia’s hybrid aggression against Ukraine began. This is a long war, and the main thing Russia is trying to do is to preserve its ability to wage it even longer, and not only against Ukraine. That is why we appreciate so deeply that so many forces and leaders are working for peace right now.

Ukraine is grateful to the United States, to every American heart, and personally to President Trump for the assistance that – starting with the Javelins – has been saving Ukrainian lives. We thank everyone in Europe, in the G7, and in the G20 who is helping us defend life. It is important to preserve the support.

It is important not to forget the main goal – to stop Russia’s war and prevent it from ever igniting again. And to achieve that, peace must be dignified. In just this one year alone, Putin has already sent hundreds of thousands of his own people to their deaths in order to occupy one percent or several percent of Ukrainian territory. And this is what Russia is doing – a country that already has more internationally recognized territory than any other state in the world. This nature of the war, and Russia’s attempts to prolong it, show that for them this is not about territory or about how one neighbor or another behaves toward Russia, but about Russia’s “right to wage war,” its “right to subjugate” others, and a fundamental absence of security.

That is why we work so carefully on every point, on every step toward peace. Everything must work out the right way – so that this war is truly ended and so that it does not happen again. Thank you to everyone who is helping! Thank you, America! Thank you, Europe! I am proud of our people. Glory to Ukraine!

Dear Africans,

I want you to know that the 74 Zimbabweans who were jailed without trial and denied bail for commemorating Africa Youth Day are sleeping exactly as you see in this picture and in this exact cell!

Some are sick, and one woman is living with a one-year-old child in a dilapidated prison like this!

I have personally lived in this place three times after exposing state corruption and being jailed without trial and denied bail.

Please, Africans, remember these people and RETWEET so the world can understand their plight!

The fact that 74 Zimbabweans, including an opposition leader who is a former cabinet minister and a mother with a one-year-old child, are being jailed without trial and denied bail for exercising their right to meet is a gross violation of human rights.

It is extremely essential for people around the world especially Africans to be aware of these gross injustices.
The international community must stand in solidarity with these detained Zimbabweans and demand their immediate release.

The only thing worse than what you are seeing is the silence by those who should know better!

Minister @MSZ_RP @sikorskiradek podczas wczorajszego wystąpienia w #ONZ o prezentacji rosyjskiego ambasadora: Kijów nie jest klientem Zachodu. Kijów walczy o niezależność, a Ukraina ma demokratycznie wybrany rząd i nie jest zbrodniczym reżimem. To Rosja próbowała eksterminować Ukrainę i to nie pierwszy raz. Historia pokazuje, że często to Rosja była agresorem, a nie ofiarą.

Cabinet has approved a R3.8bn deal between PetroSA and Russia’s Gazprombank.

But how did 19 out of 20 bidders get eliminated from the tender, leaving Gazprombank as the only qualifying bid?

Here’s the evaluation criteria…
