I was going thru all the videos I took on Dua Lipa’s #RadicalOptimism concert and I got emotional 🥹 I waited a very long time to see her live. She and her music mean so much to me. Her music puts me in a better mood. She truly makes you love life. Her energy is captivating! Thank you, Dua ❤️

Being able to seek healthcare/medical help should be considered a human right. I don’t care if someone from South America is getting treated at the same place I am. Everyone deserves medical care! That should not be a radical thought.

Rs deflect from the REAL issue: the healthcare SYSTEM.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Freida Parton says she did not mean to scare anyone when asking for prayers for her older sister, Dolly:

Freida Parton
“I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”

Living in a society without guardrails, no independence from federal justice, and the rule of law on its last leg is disorienting. Abuses of power are escalating at a rapid pace. It’s important as neighbors that you help local newsrooms out by recording what you see.
