Ashley Biden's Beyonce Freedom post amid Howard Krein divorce row
The same day, Ashley's Instagram lit up with a series of posts that seemed to hint at what she was feeling. According to People, in a now-deleted Instagram Story, she filmed herself walking through a park, giving a thumbs-up while Beyoncé's 'Freedom' played in the background.
The 2016 Lemonade track has long been celebrated as an anthem of strength. In recent times, it became Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign theme.
Messages in music and words
That was not her only post with a pointed soundtrack. Ashley also shared Lauryn Hill's 'Freedom Time' alongside a quote reading, 'New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won't look or sound like they did before'.

Other Stories that day carried different tones. She posted a Bob Marley quote, 'Let your smile change the world but don't let the world change your smile,' as well as an astrology-themed graphic about a full moon portal, adding her own note: 'The universe has my back'.
Later, her feed turned to family. She shared snapshots from what appeared to be an event honoring her late half-brother Beau Biden and his foundation, attended by Joe Biden himself. Over one image of her father speaking with a guest, she wrote, 'Thank you for the support for my brother/his foundation + the sweet/touching moments of appreciation for Dad's service. Still doing what he does best...and no one does it better. Grateful.'

I am taking his name consciously because he is someone who is very opportunist. When the nuns got bail, they praised leaders including Home Minister Amit Shah. The priests went with cake to the RSS office. When they came out of the office, they came to know that in Odisha, not just nuns, even priests were attacked.' he 'With such mood swings, neither Christians, Muslims nor Communists will be saved,' Govindan Thalassery Archdiocese condemned the remarks as 'degrading' and likened them to rhetoric used by 'fascist forces.' In a statement issued late Monday, it said the suggestion that bishops could only speak after 'taking instructions from the AKG Centre' (CPI(M) state headquarters) reflected a hidden authoritarian said, 'Keralites are witnesses to the fact that Govindan has rarely stood firm on any of his statements for even a week. The idea that Catholic bishops can issue statements only after getting clearance from the AKG Centre is a veiled form of fascism.'The Archdiocese denied allegations that the Archbishop had shifted his position on the Chhattisgarh incident, stating he has consistently opposed what it described as the 'unconstitutional' actions of the central government and the Sangh Parivar.- EndsTune InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Kerala
