Oh, honey . . . Dolly Parton disliked everything you are. You are a selfish, venal fool who mocks those with misfortunes, lies, and takes food and medicine away from children. She was a generous, incorruptible sage who comforted those with misfortunes, spoke the truth, and gave to children.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

Due to Dolly Parton’s kids reading program for local libraries, my home county in Ohio saw children’s reading rates skyrocket from one of the lowest in the state to the top I cannot think of a better way to be remembered than to inspire whole generations to seek imagination, empathy, and curiosity

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. 🦋❤️

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.
