And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Dolly Parton and Donald Trump were both born in 1946. Parton was born into poverty in a one-room cabin in Appalachia. Trump was born a millionaire in one of the most diverse places on Earth.
One dedicated her life to love and joy and generosity. The other dedicated his to selfishness and cruelty.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

To be clear, I'm anti-genAI when it comes to art.🤖🚫
You must WANT to enjoy art, to understand its origins, methods, purposes and your relationship with it.
Otherwise you're just walking through a garden with no sense of smell, taking pictures to give the illusion that you cared about being there.🤨

Just showed up at the San Antonio immigration court. I’m here as an observer. People are coming here for their required appearances; people following the law.
It’s 8:15am and the place is already swarming with armed ICE officers, waiting to arrest peaceful, legal immigrants.

I've read many of Harry's books. They're excellent. 👍 😊
What with the Trumpidiocy on full display from the creature itself and its henchthings, I may as well remind you I've written some about fascism and that kind of shit. You could buy my books and see how I like it.
You could.

That's the residents of Minneapolis letting everyone know that ICE thugs is operating in the area, trying to kidnap people.
Public resistance and bravery drove the N*zi wannabes away. 🤨

"Human hate can adapt to ANYTHING."
And a slippery slope makes it all too easy to slip DOWN, away from ethics, morality, compassion and empathy.
That's #fascism: familiar, friendly and comforting, until YOU fit the ever-looser definition of those who are hated.

Reading Marvel's "Years of Future Past," from 2015. I'd seen this on social media back then -- it hits harder coming across it in the story, where mutants have been hunted to near extinction ...
![IT ALWAYS BEGINS AS A JOKE. LISTEN TO ME, BOTH OF YOU.
ONE SEES A FATHER OR MOTHER OF WHOM THEY DO NOT APPROVE--
AND THEIR BRATS WON'T SHUT UP, AND THE PARENTS ARE SO EXHAUSTED THAT THEY JUST LET THEIR CHILDREN SCREAM ALL STICKY AND CRYING AND HITTING AND WILD.
AND YOU SAY TO YOUR FRIENDS, "YOU SHOULD HAVE TO PASS A TEST TO BREED." DO YOU UNDERSTAND? "YOU SHOULD HAVE TO GET LICENSED TO HAVE KIDS."
IT STARTS AS A JOKE.
THEN PERHAPS THERE IS TRAGEDY. A POSTPARTUM MOTHER WHO SHOULD'VE GOTTEN HELP. BUT HER INSURANCE DID NOT COVER THE THERAPY.
A FATHER WHO ERRED, BECAUSE HE WAS RAISED BELIEVING MEN ARE PATHETIC IF THEY ARE CAREGIVERS.
THE FIRST TESTS ARE DRAFTED.
AND YOU THINK. "GOOD. THOSE CHILDREN WILL BE SAFE NOW."
THE TEST COMES OUT, AND YES, THERE'RE SOME PROBLEMS, BUT NOTHING THAT CANNOT BE IRONED OUT, YES?
BUT NOW, ANYONE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD, IS BARRED FROM BECOMING A PARENT. AND YOU THINK, "WELL. THAT IS SENSIBLE, YES?"
BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN ANYONE LIKE THAT, SO WHO IS TO TELL YOU THEY ARE NOT LIKE THEY ARE PORTRAYED IN STORIES?
SICK, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL -- THESE WORDS EXPAND.
SUDDENLY IT IS ANYONE WITH DIABETES, ANYONE WITH CANCER, BECAUSE THEY COULD DIE AND LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN ORPHANED SO HOW DARE THEY EVER TRY TO HAVE CHILDREN?
IT IS DEAF COUPLES, DISABLED COUPLES, INTERRACIAL COUPLES, GAY COUPLES--BECAUSE DON'T THEY KNOW HOW HARD THEY'RE MAKING IT FOR THEIR CHILDREN?
THEN IT IS WHOEVER THEY WANT.
YOU THINK YOU ARE WORKING FOR THE GREATER GOOD, YOU CAN'T EVEN FATHOM THE LIFE OF SOMEONE WHO ISN'T EXACTLY LIKE YOU.
THEN ONE DAY--IT IS YOU
SOME GENE, SOME HISTORY. SOME PAST BEHAVIOR-AND SUDDENLY YOU TOO ARE SICK, DANGEROUS, CRIMINAL
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS THIS--
-- HUMAN HATE CAN ADAPT TO ANYTHING.
YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE
BUT IF SOMEONE HATES YOU, THEY WILL COME UP WITH THE REASON AFTER THE FACT.
ONLY THEN DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU PUT IN POWER. ONLY THEN DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU STRIPPED AWAY.

Exactly.
Small-minded, petty ignorant men like Trump use punishment as a goad: they CAN'T negotiate, and see strength as bullying others into compying with their crazed demands.
When such men are in positions of powers, they're tyrants.
The world sees Trump as such, and is acting accordingly.🤨

Not even a decade ago, and where are you now, America?
Progress is made via ACTION, not words. As I writer, believe me, I GET IT: talk is cheap, and apathy has a high cost.
Now that the wolf is IN the door and running things, will American progressives ACT?
Or will they still just keep waiting?
