Girl from the Burgh, made a career in steel. Retired now. Post food, pets & politics. Liberal, if that bothers you-tough. Also petty AF. And: #KHive, always. This is not a dating site. NOT a resister, no automatic follow-back but maybe a Block.

Base is BW followed by BM. They 1) consistently vote every election and 2) vote in large majorities for Democrats. That's the definition of base. My group, WW, still consistently votes for Republicans even though we are the largest bloc available. And WM are reliable Republican voters.

Sunday lesson from @eddsmitty.bsky.social Eddie - I have to say, it's hard to express how I feel about your posts. I appreciate so much you put the energy into teaching this history. The lessons are powerful & prove to me how little Black history is shared with us white people. Thank you, so much!

The false narrative regarding Democratic politicians and their relationship with Impeachment needs to be put to bed. It "appears" that House Democrats seem "coy" about wanting to do an impeachment. Guess what!

1/? No, no...I am seeing these so-called Palestinian "activists" trying to spin a narrative that they are somehow victims of Black ppl being "hateful" towards them, but despite the so-called hatred of Black ppl they would never be anti-Black. So let's take a trip down memory lane by a few decades.
