Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really?

Our ancestors made it through the slave trade, slavery, Jim crow, continuous discrimination in every way possible. We are not worried or fazed by the orange cheetto or his klan. We know how to defeat the odds. However, the others....Good mf luck 🤷🏾‍♂️

Happy Hump Day!!

This is what could have been.

Hope. Joy. Decency. Integrity.
