I know. I heard stories and met maimed family members from those cars! That's the first time I learned they never shared that aspect in movies (for obvious reasons)! 😏

“It’s not an all the time allergy. Yeah, that’s what the “doctor” said but I’ve eaten shrimp since then and been fine. Are mussels even seafood?” - Me on a first date

So you are just going to gloss over your shellfish allergy? Southern Christian I’m sure can be worked through. Needing an EpiPen on the first date, smh.

Indeed some leaders in the 20th century called free Carnegie libraries a socialist concept and did not believe that poor people should have access to books because it would make it difficult for factories to recruit workers

And as they say in history, those who forget their history are….

You would be called a socialist. Big-time.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

I gotta say and it’s a soft spot for me but seeing Mamdani support Tish James when a lot of dem , left, liberal and everybody has been so damn complacent

About watching Black women be attacked ?

and not making it some generic thing or pretending it’s disconnected from what’s coming ..

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

I don't know the details of Angie Stone and D'Angelo's relationship, but he was 24 when their kid was born and she was 36. I see a lot of vilifying of her. What else is known about their relationship? 🤔
