@JoeyGaskinsJr Great stuff Brutha. Wrote a similar paper at the height of pandemic with reforms we need to seriously consider to survive the next few decades.

@SoTheyCallMeDJ Happy Happy Birthday 🥳🎊🎉 more life, joy and happiness 🫶🏾

Black women are by far the most loyal voting bloc for Dems, yet the first Black woman to be the party’s nominee had to release an economic plan for Black men because we’re that fragile about retaining the power misogyny affords us. Think about that.

@simplyT90 She’s surely playing chess. She knew what was at stake and is covering the bases well despite the chatter…and for those tapped in politically…already know the ones making noise aren’t the stronghold voters.

One thing about it, Kamala’s campaign has organized in a way I have never seen any other. I can say for certain that the organizations she’s partnered with are very tapped in to the community. Foolishness included. Mama is playing chess and meeting people where they are.

AND I just wanna thank god for not making me allergic to seafood

@dr_doreeeeenn Imma try this. I tend to use a wet wipe and then follow with the cloth that came with it

Pour liquid soap into your hand and gently rub your lenses with your fingertips🤌. Rinse them under clean water and dry with a soft paper towel. You'll see the world in 4K😊

@_jelrey Shrimp is my fav…so

@itstravvy Yes yes yes. May add shrimp for razzle dazzle

Craving curried something. Potatoes? Shrimp?
