PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS
when the white man makes a proclamation that no one asked for instead of tackling actual problems like poverty, homelessness, underfunded education, food deserts, and a minimum wage that won’t get you a bag of doritos, he does not know what he is doing. All the bibles I’ve seen show the value of anyone needing welfare and that it is our duty to care for each other.

WHEREAS
It’s been 250 fu***ng years and we are still focused on blaming other people instead of getting the work done, and politicians are busy making proclamations instead of actually helping, we need to get them out of office. They have had almost 3 centuries.

NOW THEREFORE, I , Kathy M Burnette, owner of the Store of Brain Lair Books, do hereby reclaim the month of June, 2026, as PRIDE MONTH
all across the lands, and invite all citizens to tell these asshats to f**k off with all that noise.
