Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day and the start of Wear Orange Weekend. It's time to #WearOrange and demand action.

With gun violence devastating our communities, we're going to show we won't stop working to end this crisis. We should not have to live in fear that gunfire can ring out at any moment, whether it's at an elementary school in Uvalde, a supermarket in Buffalo, a front porch in Philadelphia, a medical office in Tulsa, or graduations across the country. We deserve more.

This year, we're going to turn the internet Orange to make sure our movement can't be ignored. Help us call for an end to gun violence: Share this graphic with your friends and encourage them to demand action.

Good grief! Sometimes I can be very unobservant. I wondered why the image I had posted this morning was getting so many bad votes, until I looked at it closer. Please accept my apologies for missing the booblical reference!

Okay, here's the image I had posted this morning that became an issue for me, or so I thought. This is the back of Tupac Shakur and I totally did not know the meaning of the large tattoo on his back mentioning Exodus 1831. Explanation is below...

The two possible meanings of Tupac’s tattoo EXODUS 18:31

“The first is that it references a verse from the Bible; however, there is no Exodus 18:31. Some have argued that he is actually referencing Exodus 18:11 which says, “Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, because of what happened to the Egyptians when they acted arrogantly against Israel.”

“Inside the cross it’s written “1831”. 1831 was the year of Nat Turner's slave revolt. The biggest slave uprising in U.S. history began on the night of August 23, 1831, when Turner and seven fellow slaves murdered their master and his family while they slept, and then set out on a campaign of brutal murder that terrorized the countryside and killed 55 white people. Nat Turner was later captured and hanged.”
