'I'm not dying': Dolly Parton responds to concerns about her health Late last month Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing “health challenges.”

“There are just a lot of rumors flying around. But I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay,” Dolly Parton said in a new two-minute video posted on Instagram. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.” https://to.pbs.org/4hc1DXB

you cannot change their minds with rhetoric or pointing to statistics or video proof b/c they believe a criminal is a category of person, not someone who has broken some law

Trump, ICE et al are “God’s chosen” thus cannot be in the category of criminal even if convicted or admitting they broke laws

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

Breaking on MSNBC:

An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

This news was first reported by Reuters.

People pay to visit and ride these vehicles at railroad museums, just to ride back and forth!

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

Sharpens me up for a bit of ultra-shitposting

I keep drinkinh it thinking it is violence milk but it is not

For years, GOP has been campaigning against cities, rooting against their success, accusing their residents of not being “real Americans,” lying about their crime rates, denigrating their diversity.

The campaign’s is logical conclusion: the GOP uses the federal government to attack those cities.

What frustrates me about these comments from Seattle Councilmember Maritza Rivera is that the council has received many briefings on Housing First (a widely adopted best practice) and she continues to define it the way MAGA does: As giving people empty "houses" and letting them rot.

Two Reichstags don't make a wrong

Where have I heard that before

Response from @karenattiah.bsky.social counsel, @normeisen.bsky.social et al, at @democracydefendersfund.org:

"She did precisely the job you hired her to do as an opinion writer ... She spoke truthfully and forcefully about ... difficult truths at a challenging time"

When the "silent majority" actually shut the fuck up for a while?

Or a trump duck

Every day there is a new piece (or many) of the saddest news I've ever heard, and it's especially brutal to consider that this is being done on purpose by our government.

$10 says it’ll be less than a month before they start the satanic panic about goth and heavy metal back up

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

The New York Times editorial board Opinion headline “America Mourns Charlie Kirk”

Or else.

It's the first rule of Trump Club

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

In many cases, the reason why these blocks were cleared was because of their redlined status, which prevented banks from lending money for properties on those blocks. Because that redlined status resulted from ownership/occupation by people of color, the only way to remove it was via demolition.

wow what a wild outcome if only anyone, anyone at all, had warned that exactly this was going to be the outcome of all these new "gender verification" regimes

anyone. anyone anywhere. if only.

Emperor Nero will make Rome great again!

People arent just mad that Charles Entertainment Kirk is getting dragged, they're also mad that for the first time in their lives, they're seeing that the people who either didn't know about their bigotry or never addressed it think that they're racist, and they dont know how to process this.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."
