The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️
This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.
Dolly Parton was an icon. She was a brilliant songwriter and performer. She was an incredible activist and advocate, helping to donate over 200 million free books to children. She was one of my personal heroes. This is a terrible loss. She will be greatly missed.

Every news channel should be screaming about his corruption, but the rich protect the rich.
FYI, it’s Cuba Gooding Jr’s character in the movie Pearl Harbor—that’s whose name Trump wants stripped from the Navy vessel. Petty Officer Doris "Dorie" Miller, a janitor—the only roles they let Black people have—rose up to man stationary guns to protect his country when Japan attacked Pear Harbor.

Making our food unsafe was part of Project 2025. We need to work so hard for these midterms. So hard.
School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is crazy.
At this rate, the FDA is just gonna recall the meal you JUST ate.

Congressman Greg Casar@repcasar.bsky.social · last wk.ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota.
