Who knew I have so much in common with Nicole Kidman? We both married musicians, raised 2 kids in Nashville, then got divorced after 19 years. Our similarities pretty much end there, though, tbh.

I have to tell you, when the people speak, they speak loud. This is so impressive to me. Community standing up for each other in the face of tyranny.

I love Raul Malo, and admire the hell out of him. I knew him a little in my Nashville years when my then-husband played keys for the Mavericks. So smart and thoughtful. Hear hear … www.pennlive.com/entertainmen...
Country music star says he may be deported as Trump inflicts ‘cruelty and suffering’: ‘This is my country too’
'As Lady Liberty’s flame dims with every atrocity committed in her name, we will not be afraid of the dark,' he wrote.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

No way! This is my favorite account across all platforms.
The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it.

Republicans have insisted for years that any increase in America’s so-called debt limit be paired with spending reductions. Now the party is poised to discard that philosophy and press ahead with legislation that combines nearly $4 trillion in tax cuts with a $5 trillion increase to the debt limit.
Record Debt Limit Increase Would Break Republican Precedent
A proposed $5 trillion debt limit increase could make it hard for Republicans to maintain their fiscal hawk credibility.

While Trump blusters about "law & order," a reminder that his administration has dropped or halted nearly 150 corporate enforcement actions.
And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
