We who worship Truth:

on martyrs nailed to American crosses

I see a future

Where Renee Good

and Trayvon Martin

and George Floyd

and Alex Pretti

and Harvey Milk

and Malcolm X

and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

and others

(and I'll listen to the idea of Charlie Kirk - I don't like what he had to say, but I'll use a quarter with his face on it because that's the price society pays for murdering people we disagree with)

are on the currency.

They're more deserving than politicians.

REAL AMERICANS. NOT FAKE.

Ordinary citizens.

Killed by a wounded, thrashing, rabid raccoon that crawled behind that big piece of plywood that has been leaning up against your shed for a year and a half - it went there to die - and you finally went to move the wood and it went hisssssssssssssssssss and you jumped back and almost wet your pants:

the Armed Establishment. the Militia of Order. the Army of "don't get out of line."

Some may say - ok Malcolm and Martin (and Kirk) and public figures like that, I can see that.

But the others - they didn't all earn it with their lives! No one knew who they were until they died!

Correct. We made them famous. By killing them.

And death is part of life. So it counts when we remember people who lived.

These American people did not sacrifice their lives.

They were murdered.

Slaughtered in the street.

They were human beings who lived regular lives

and loved people

and made mistakes

and made friends

and enjoyed the holiday season every year, and every February they would say "oh my gosh it's February already?!"

They died saintly deaths.

On American crosses.

They are martyrs for us,

we who worship Truth.

Putting their faces on our money is the least we can do to say thank you to them.
