STOP SCROLLING

Why I’m sounding the alarm:

VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms.

The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

PSA: Election officials in California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere are telling voters if you can, return your ballot through an official ballot drop box rather than trusting it to the mail.

NO media
1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media

Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended

Wa Post buried it

A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Today I did, in fact, tumble out of bed, stumble to the kitchen, and pour myself a cup of ambition.

And then I cried again. What we have lost.

Adios, Dolly Parton, who endured decades of sexism and shitty jokes from shitty men only to outlive them all with wit, kickass music, and a heart as big as the Smokies. Generations of kids are smarter and kinder because of her giving a damn about them. The rare icon who deserved all her glory.

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." 💙

Live your life in a way that no matter how much they make fun of your boobs, your hair, your sex appeal, or your outward appearance…

… your legacy is defined by your creativity, your philanthropy, your heart, your spirit, your courage, your inclusiveness & your commitment to helping those in need.

Everyone should watch the PBS documentary on Dolly Parton, Here I Am. It's all about her music.

She's also featured in Ken Burns's series Country Music, but this is just about Dolly and her songs.

Listen up bitches, this is serious. Here’s the plan for tomorrow morning. No exceptions. Everyone shows up.
We’re gonna tumble out of bed. We’re gonna stumble to the kitchen.
And we’re gonna pour ourselves a cup of goddamn ambition.
Because we’ve got dreams they’ll never take away.
Lock in.
