...We rallied in Detroit to honor the over 30,000 martyrs of Gaza, to remember Aaron Bushnell, to demand imperialist and Zionist hands off Rafah, and to support the coming victory of the Palestinian Resistance!

i am always here for all of you<3

We moved out of the hills in 1961, into a house down in the holler below that had electricity but wasn't wired for a electric stove, so the old wood cook stove was still fired up for 3 meals a day.

Momma always had a big pot that set at the back of the stove, most of the time it was full of pinto beans, sometimes Kentucky wonders with potatoes added, or potatoe soup, when my siblings came home from school that was the first thing on their mind, looking in the big pot, but it didn't really matter we ate what was on the table.

The big cast-iron skillet in the oven had the best cornbread I ever ate, maybe because the cornmeal was fresh grounded, a bed time snack was cornbread and warm milk.

Sometimes I still enjoy this little snack from back in the holler, growing up in Wayne County, Kentucky ♥️

Republican Party leaders are physically fighting with each other in Michigan. 🍿

"He kicked me in my balls": Michigan Republicans brawl at local meeting GOP gone wild: "When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock"

As reported by The Detroit News, Wayne County Republican James Chapman was trying to get into the state party's meeting room at the Doherty Hotel by jiggling the door handle when Clare County Republican Party Chair Mark DeYoung opened the door from inside.  "He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,"  DeYoung told the outlet while being interviewed in the ER, adding that he had suffered a broken rib and intended to press charges against Chapman.  Chapman, however, said DeYoung was the one who swung first after threatening to kick Chapman's ass. DeYoung denied that, though, claiming Chapman squared up first — rushing DeYoung and slamming him into a chair. One of the individuals involved in the fight gave Detroit News' Craig Mauger a warning for any would-be future Michigan brawlers:  "When you see me taking my glasses off, I'm ready to rock," Chapman said. 

It's easy to see why Republicans are no longer running Michigan.

Although the dust-up took place outside the actual meeting room, members inside got an eye full.   "From my clear vantage point a kerfuffle occurred outside our meeting room. We recessed for 5 minutes. It had nothing to do with the content of our meeting," said committee member Kristin Lee. 

Donald Trump says that he may not take part in the first GOP debate. That's a shame because it would be great fun to see him and DeSantis get into a ball kicking and face scratching melee on live TV.
