“The legitimate object of government is to do for the people what needs to be done, but which they can not, by individual effort, do at all, or do so well, by themselves." - Abraham Lincoln
Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
Just saw a video of people screaming "you're a traitor!" at Donald Trump when he was in South Carolina over the weekend. Sure didn't see that on the news.
Still can’t believe not one person was prosecuted for the fraudulent electoral certificate scheme, without any question the largest electoral fraud event in the nation’s history
MS NOW: "The Talarico campaign is filing a legal motion to unseal two depositions Ken Paxton gave in 2019 and 2022. A source tells MS NOW the Talarico campaign has reason to believe Paxton admitted to crimes in those depositions."
Tim Curry did a wonderful interview with the Academy Museum before he passed that all his fans should see. While I understand why he hid away from the world after his stroke, we’re so blessed that he did come back to share a few more laughs before the end. Forever one of my favorite actors. ♥️

I had the pleasure of running into Tim Curry at an Indian restaurant once. I jokingly said "You must like curry, huh?". He said "Like it? Buddy, I invented curry." I laughed. He said "I'm not joking you little shit. I created curry and anyone who says otherwise is a liar." Rest in peace, legend.
God: Donny Grim Repear: Dolly, got it. God: No, Donny! Grim Repear: Oh Curry, my bad! Right on it. God: NO! D-O-N-N-Y, DONNY!
And now they also have the corporate owned prison system, in the event you become disillusioned, or rebel against the system
Although not quite an EGOT - she only won the Grammy and Emmy - she WAS nominated for all 4 awards. That's still amazing to me. #dolly
This is forever my favorite tweet by Dolly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1. AFM, the labor union representing professional musicians in North America, is paying tribute to Dolly Parton, who was a member of its Nashville Local 257 for 58 years. AFM says that for decades, Dolly consistently filed union contracts for her recording sessions, live gigs and tours.
Listen to her music. She's right there. Hugs... (She didn't buy the stairway...She earned it.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw_C...

Dolly may have quite literally - along with everyone else you contributed to the miracle of this vaccine - saved my life and yours. I never got very sick with my boughts of covid, but that's the point. When you're not sure who to be or what to do, just think about who Dolly was and be like that.
Dolly was truly an American hero 💙
RIP. Will never forget what Dolly told me about politicians. "I don’t think any of ‘em are trying hard enough... they worry more about their party than they do about the people. If we just do what we felt was the right thing... None of them are working from the heart." 💙
One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.
COMMENTARY: A whole lot of celebrities are loved. Dolly Parton loved you back.
Dear Humanity, I sincerely apologize for taking the wrong person again. I will be going on a listening tour to hear from the community and promise to do better in the future. Thank you, God
