Who is the Heritage Foundation, and what is Project 2025? Thread

Next weekend’s NO KINGS rallies are about more than showing up and making noise. This time, it’s about ORGANIZING. With early voting underway, voter suppression efforts, and ICE terrorizing immigrant communities, these rallies have a bigger mission. Help people understand their voting rights, make a plan to vote, and turn protest energy into action. And on everyone’s mind: #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

Every. Damn. Time. It’s. Always. Maga.

28 years ago we lost #MatthewShepard to a senseless act of hate. Today we remember Matt by proudly supporting the Matthew Shepard Foundation in its mission to replace hate with understanding, compassion, and acceptance. Share this image & help keep Matthew's memory alive #RememberMatthew #NOH8

WATCHING—The U.S. State Department is monitoring a reportedly fatal case of "pneumonia of an unknown etiology" linked to a plague research laboratory in Russia. Health authorities in Russia's Irkutsk region launched anti-epidemic measures after an employee of a plague institute was diagnosed with "pneumonia of an unknown etiology”. The lab involved is the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov, in southern Siberia, Russia. The statement comes after some Russian media and public figures reported a death potentially due to the plague and linked to a lab worker. Russian officials did not provide further details on the worker. Amid the investigation, some protective measures have been announced in the region. A mask mandate has been implemented at the Irkutsk Aluminum Plant in Shelekhov, according to the plant's director, Artem Fominykh.  abcnews.com/US/state-departm…

The Empire State Building will shine pink tonight in honor of Dolly Parton’s life and legacy #NOH8

RT @johnpavlovitz: Dolly Parton knew how to be human better than just about anyone I can think of. For me, one of the biggest takeaways of…

Dolly…you were pure light, with a kind heart and a generous spirit. We will now be missing one of the most joyful voices this world has ever known. Thank you for the music, the laughter, and the love you gave us all. We will always love you. Rest in peace, Dolly. - Celine xx…

“If I’d been born a man, I’d have been a drag queen.” ❤️ Rest in peace Dolly Parton, the legendary and beloved singer-songwriter-actress who has sadly passed away at age 80. 🕊️

Over here crying. Life was so much better back then. People were kinder, the world wasn’t drowning in materialism and technology was used for good. Life was simple and the American Dream obtainable. Dolly will always remind me of that love & light. 💕

A message from the family of Dolly Parton.

Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton. Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide. At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖

Dolly Parton on supporting the LGBTQ+ community (2016): “I do not believe we should criticize and judge other people. If you’re the fine Christian you think you are, why are you judging people? I just think we should be more loving, more caring. We are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. You should be allowed to be how you are and who you are”

This is heart shattering. Please dear Lord, bless Dolly forever. One of my dearest treasures is a letter she wrote to me praising the recording Barton Lee and I did of the brilliant and most heartfelt of her compositions, Down from Dover. I consider it the most important of my recordings. Those are real tears you hear on that record. Dolly will be missed forever and her music will be played in the hearts of all of us who loved her. Soar with the angels, sweet Dolly.

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.

Rest in peace, Dolly Parton (1946–2026) 💔 I don’t even know how to put this into words. We lost one of the true greats today, not just in country music, but in music, period. Dolly Parton was a songwriter, a singer, an actress, a businesswoman, a philanthropist, and one of the kindest hearts this industry has ever seen. “Jolene.” “9 to 5.” “Coat of Many Colors.” “I Will Always Love You.” These aren’t just songs, they’re pieces of all our lives because we grew up listening to them. Dolly wrote music that crossed generations, crossed genres, crossed borders. And beyond the stage, through the Imagination Library, she put books into the hands of millions of kids and changed lives in ways most artists never even attempt. There will never be another Dolly. The rhinestones may have stopped shining today, but her music, her humor, her heart, those infectious attributes of hers aren’t going anywhere. She will shine forever. I think this incredible tribute by @Pink captures the greatness of Dolly’s life! Rest easy, Dolly. Thank you for the songs, the laughs, the memories, and everything you gave the world. ❤️🕊️ #DollyParton #RIPDollyParton

Miley Cyrus & Dolly Parton singing I Will Always Love You x Wrecking Ball. Their last performance together and one of the greatest performances ever.

So many evil people in this world and we had to lose a pure heart like Dolly Parton. Devastating day for humanity.
