Oh, Dolly Parton. What a loss of a bright light and a beloved human. Beyond from her beautiful music--what a talented composer--her commitment to literacy means so much. She came from poverty and family members who could not read--and she funded the free distribution of millions of chidren's books.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library gifted more than 332,000,000 books since it was first created 31 years ago.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

Please say a prayer and whatever else you can muster to my family and friends in Summerland BC. The whole town has been evacuated and the photos they are sending are breaking my heart.

The misogynistic smearing of a former First Lady at a White House event sanctioned by a President … is a stain that will not be removable

NOOOOOO! Dormition Cathedral of Kyiv‑Pechersk Lavra — a UNESCO World Heritage site and priceless cultural landmark — has been struck and is burning.

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.
