Remember when a promotion felt like validation? Until it wasn’t. My former friend equated self-worth with salary. It nearly ruined him. Don’t let that be you. martinkush.com/self-worth-n...

The Missing Branch of Government is too weak to matter. Are we doomed without a
viable democracy? Will it really be that bad?

Some Trump voters justify their "investment" by saying that "it must get worse
before it can get better." Really?!

You walk into a white-owned business and ask yourself:
Will they serve me?
Will they call the cops?
Will I survive?
This isn’t paranoia.
It’s living while Black in America.

They taught you to suffer with grace.
They taught you to pay full price for the machine that owns you.
That’s not integrity. That’s indoctrination.
