"Martin Luther King's purpose was to advance the civil rights of people based on certain characteristics"...
talk about missing the point!
@HerndonforIdaho is a pig!!

Remember when Arizona had to approve #MLKDay in order to host Super Bowls?
When will NFL require Louisiana to restore women's reproductive rights to permit New Orleans to host in 2025?
Until then, #MoveSBLIX.

"We love to quote King in and around the holiday, but then we refuse to live King 365 days of the year," Dr. Bernice A. King, our CEO, said during #TheKingCenterโs 2023 #MLK, Jr. Beloved Community Commemorative Service. #MLKDay https://news.yahoo.com/rev-bernice-king-exhausted-lawmakers-051231018.html

Started reading #Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson on #MLKday. Finished this morning. An absolutely essential, depressing, and brilliant read. I knew the central thesis before I started it but it was so worth the read. #bookstodon
For decades (!!!), #Alabama and #Mississippi have a combined Robert E. Lee and Martin Luther King holiday on #MLKday.
WTAF?!! "We miss Slavery and let "Them" all shout about it as much as they like?" ๐ก

On this 40th anniversary of #MLKDay as a federal holiday, the #FBI honors one of the most prominent leaders of the Civil Rights movement and reaffirms its commitment to Dr. Kingโs legacy of fairness and equal justice for all. https://t.co/yXqVRyicTU

The Al Jazeera piece on the #MLKDay #massshooting in #Florida includes an interesting chart from The Violence Project.
Note how many of the USA's 10 worst mass shootings occurred in the last 40, 30, 20, and 10 years.
Laws already prohibit people from murdering each other and taking guns into schools.
One common factor is that #RonaldReagan removed mental health services while California governor and as president.

My fatherโs โdreamโ wasnโt palpable to the white masses, including politicians.
He challenged militarism and sought to eradicate it.
He worked to end poverty, as caused by extreme capitalism and materialism.
We need to know the authentic KingโฆThe Inconvenient King.

Glenn Youngkin, white racist terrorist who follows racist guidance to ban discussion of #MLKday and #juneteenth in our public schools. #antiracism https://dmv.community/users/jcrabapple/statuses/109704664391960581/activity

Honoring the legacies of MLK and Gandhi, who through their tireless efforts and non-violent actions, changed the course of history and inspired a generation to fight for equality and justice. #MLKDay

If youโre going to quote & authentically honor my father on #MLKDay, commit to embracing a โWorld Houseโ perspective.
Determine how youโll disrupt unjust systems & thinking with nonviolent strategy.
Support policies that reflect higher consciousness.
Make no excuses for hate.

On this #MLKDay, I want to share a few images of the breathtaking 20-foot-tall monument that was unveiled on Friday in Boston Common, the nationโs oldest public park. It honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.

โWe groan in anticipation for when justice will prevail. Like Isaiah, we have a dream โ of what can be, what ought to be, what will be, in Godโs good time. Mary captured the dream in her Magnificat. Martin Luther King, Jr. described it on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. When we join our lives to Godโs, we commit ourselves to work and pray for the realization of this dream.โ
