Shaun, aged 44, is best known for his advocacy of movements associated with the Democratic Party such as Black Lives Matter.
On December 25, he claimed that Instagram banned his account due to his support for Palestine against Israel in the ongoing war.

Shaun has been sharing numerous pro-Palestine posts since October 7, highlighting the destruction in the Gaza Strip and calling for an end to Israel’s brutal war on the territory.
