This is the late Sergeant Alfred Masters, the first-ever Black man to serve in the U.S Marine Corps. The Trump Administration has scrubbed all mention of him from military websites, considering it “DEI.”

REPOST if you stand with Sergeant Masters’ family against Donald Trump!

Do not ask the question, “Where is God?”

I challenge you to hear the question that God is asking of us today.

“Where are you?”

New Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the people, of the United States of America,
To the indigenous, black, brown, yellow, and white people,
To the sons of Abraham; the Jews, Christians and Muslims…

I CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME
… When I'm near the end
And I just ain't got the time
Ohh, and I'm wasted
And I can't find my way home
… Somebody holds the key
Let me be free
Let love be

X MARKS THE ROT

Delete your twitter (X) account. Do not purchase a Tesla automobile. Maybe consider selling the Tesla you own before it loses all resale value. Join a protest at a Tesla dealership. Write your congresspeople.

I get it when people say "well they voted for this, I hope they get what they deserve. "

I get that sentiment, i really do... But there are millions of people who DIDN'T vote for this, whose lives will be ruined. That's why I can't throw my hands up and say oh well. I keep fighting for them.
