Between Dolly Parton’s quiet COVID research fund, BLM support, and her sending generations of children books through the USPS, she continues to be one of the most relevant and wonderful people of every era. — Dolly represents the best of America, while Trump represents the worst.

He was also homosexual in a time when homosexuality was illegal. After his conviction he was given a choice between chemical castration and prison. He chose chemical castration, and later chose to kill himself. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

When AirTags first came out and I warned that they were Apple's gift to stalkers, so many Apple fanboys told me that I was overreacting.

80 years ago today, 2,501 Americans died at Normandy to protect lives and democracy.

Some were black, knowing they would return to a racist US.

Some were gay, knowing they could be court-martialed for who they were.

They fought anyway for what was best and right.

I don't care what you think of Biden. A world with Trump in the White House will be a disaster. In 151 days, you can do what is best and right without risking your life.

Every election. Every race. Every Democrat. #VoteBlue #DDay

#MAGA marks #DDay anniversary w/vote to defund #NATO

#Trump's #AmericaFirst movement could lead… #Europe to seek #nuclear weapons

Today is the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing at #Normandy, #France, where ~160k #Allied troops pulled off the largest invasion by sea in history. From that point on #America was in charge of #AlliedForces & it was the beginning of the end of #WWII

Four years ago today, Trump called it "stupendous" and "joyous" news that American unemployment was only at 13.3%.

Four years later, unemployment has been under 4% for 27 straight months.

Yes, we are indeed better off than we were four years ago.

Disseminating #TheBigLie can be expensive:

Lying about our #democracy can cost you. A jury awarded R Freeman & S Moss $148M from Giuliani. Fox News settled with Dominion for $787M after facing the prospect of a lengthy & damaging trial. #Media orgs like OANN/Project Veritas/Salem Media have issued retractions & apologies for their false election claims. We don’t know exactly how this rebalancing towards truth will impact the 2024 election. Those actors-certain to pause-. https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/lying-about-the-2024-election-will

I really prefer not to use my time talking at all about this guy but at the same time, it’s very dangerous to ignore this.

It is also disgusting that no one in his party has the decency to call him out. They are all complicit.
