I will not celebrate a country that continues to erode the very freedoms it purports to stand for. A country that has allowed the few to rule the many, those who espouse “Christian values” to deny food to the hungry, healthcare to the sick, shelter to the immigrant.
Not this year. Maybe not again.

A very Happy Juneteenth to any who see this message and celebrate. I apologize for being a day late, ironically.
To the rest of us: Juneteenth is not the “Black 4th of July.” It is a reminder that America will not tell the truth unless forced to.
This is not our day. It is theirs.

It's a good idea that you fill out a profile. I'm not saying put your pic on there
But the more people who come on here with no followers when they are starting out, the more you look like a BOT
Sharing people's posts gets you seen more on here
Come say hi!
