Poor Dolly is going to have to put out a statement today on Instagram addressing her impending kidney stone surgery which is shitty as she is a very private person!

But it’s necessary because her fans all thought her sister was saying she’s dying.

Imagine Freida explaining this to Dolly:
"So the good news sis is that I can confirm *everyone* still loves you and thinks you're a national treasure. The bad news is I might of given the impression you were dying and now some lunatics will probably start a conspiracy theory that you're an android"

Everyone needs to know that Dolly Parton responded to a climate disaster in her community with a temporary universal basic income for everyone who lost their homes.

Here's a short documentary about it:

"bucking tradition"

NPR @npr.org · 2d

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

The basic legitimating principle of the United States government is that it complies, at least in broad strokes, with the Constitution. Every day they commit atrocities against the Constitution and the People

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.

Stephen Miller was always a POS. Here he is in high school, already looking middle-aged, giving a student government speech:

During the Obama administration, Oregon Republicans were convinced the federal black helicopters were coming for them at any moment. Today they’re posting videos of black helicopters over Portland & cheering giddily about it. They hate their senator who is speaking out against the black helicopters.

2/2 They promote themselves as martyrs, claiming they were persecuted for principles and courage. They imply that they are super-special for resisting the indoctrination that everyone else succumbed to.
It never occurs to them that they were shunned because they were jerks.
