Imagine thinking that parents dying and leaving their children parentless from preventable diseases is a virtue. I hope there are enough sensible people in South Carolina to defeat this dangerous nonsense.

these people booing sound like literal sheep as Darline Graham criticizes Dr. Annie Andrews for supporting "government-run healthcare" before bragging of her parents that "if they were sick, they had to get up and go to work...my mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later"

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

As a tribute to Dolly, why not donate a book? Leave one is a free library. Give one to a friend or neighbor or child. Buy one for a teacher’s wishlist. If you have book donation ideas, add them to this thread. Dolly would love to see people getting books!

Dolly Parton's gift to children's literacy moved in 2 directions. Not only did millions of children receive their own books each month of the program, but authors & illustrators of children's literature had sustainable careers by virtue of their books being chosen for the program.

(1/3) With Dolly Parton's passing, I want to put good words on the wind for her. Feel free to quote reply with your own. Dolly became the single largest donor for the Moderna COVID vaccine because of a chance encounter and friendship with a Vanderbilt researcher Dr. Naji Abumrad years earlier. She

She will be missed. She was one in a million and did so much good for so many.

Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.

Losing your home to a fire is devastating, and no family should have to worry about how they will pay for the basics in the days and weeks that follow. State Individual Assistance through our Military Department can help with those immediate needs...

BREAKING: we just filed to STOP the new USPS rule on mail ballots The Court only held that the injunction came too early. Now we HAVE a final rule & we are litigating it @democracydefendersfund.org & @campaignlegal.org are proud to represent LULAC, Madison WI & Travis County TX

If democracy had a smoke alarm, it would be screaming right now. Make your voting plan early, verify the rules, and bring backup patience. The folks betting on confusion are counting on you staying home. Ruin their damn spreadsheet. Nothing spoils a power grab like voters.

“It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t know where China is. She’s going to do everything I ask her to. Isn’t that what Senators are supposed to do?”

Trump on Darlene Graham not being able to answer a very basic question about Taiwan-China: "All she was was being honest. I mean, she's into the price of groceries ... she's going to do what the president wants."

Starting a pointless trade war with our most reliable partner as a distraction from your failed war in Iran (that you launched as a distraction from your administration covering up the Epstein files) isn’t going to win you any votes.

How is it called “US retaliation” when it was US/F45 who started the whole mess? Are you really allowed to call it “retaliation” when the US threatened Canada & they chose to defend themselves? You can call it “further attacking” an ally, not attack> defend> retaliate❌ #HowStupidDoYouThinkWeAre

#Iowa CD-03 Your parents have paid into Social Security their whole lives. Now the GOP want to cut it to pay for tax breaks for the rich. Sarah Trone Garriot is fighting to protect what you've earned -Social Security, Medicare, IPERS for teachers & first responders. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

Remember that episode of the West Wing where there was a threat of mad cow disease because the republicans killed regulation of the feed?

Bees are the primary pollinators for approximately 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants and for about a third of the crops upon which humans rely. Without pollination, crop yields plummet or vanish entirely.

I can’t be the only one who has noticed massive power outages happening much more often in only predominantly Black populated areas in red states at a time when those particular areas are having their power grids strained by data centers. PAY ATTENTION.

Walmart getting a 2.9 billion dollar tariff refund, that consumers actually paid, should piss everyone off. Especially since they have been increasing prices incrementally on staples like canned vegetables.

Jon Ossoff is some kind of brilliant. I’m sure his comment about F45’s hanger-on Natalie was deliberate in its blandness. “…travel with Natalie” How innocuous a statement & the MAGA Mouths couldn’t wait to confess to unsavory relationship, opening door to Nat. Security concerns & foreign access.✅

Roughly 25% of the debt has been added during Trump's presidencies - largely thanks to his tax cuts for the rich… Mad yet?! 🤬

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.
