Please don’t quote #MLK on #MLKDay, then suppress the vote and support systemic oppression on Tuesday.

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

I’ve said this before, but if you’re doing an MLK day service project consider bringing King-level analysis to it. Don’t just serve lunch at a soup kitchen, interogate why millions of ppl live in poverty in the first place.

King’s legacy isn’t about charity, it’s about justice.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Remember the authentic, comprehensive King.

Here is some seldom-quoted #MLK, speaking about America’s discrimination against Black people in its land “giving.” Listen for terms like “economic floor” and “bootstraps.”

The night before he was assassinated.
Assassinated. Many wish “Happy Birthday” to a man today that they would have hated then. The authentic, comprehensive King makes power uneasy & privilege unhinged. Never forget: He’s not here to hear “Happy Birthday” because he was murdered.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I’m hopeful, but I’m not naive. Humanity is in quite a conundrum. I still believe we can be better to each other and to the planet, beginning with accepting the truth about where we are and how we got here.

Along with truth...advocacy, voting, love-centered vigilance.

We can.

@Ceo313Det But today, in the present, it didn’t happen. Take the L and chill

[Erica B @EricaNBurton]

@Ceo313Det Didn’t quite happen that way, now did it? 🤔 #GoGreen 💙

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The moment we all feared is likely upon us.

An unstable President in way over his head, panicking, with all his experienced advisers having quit, and only the sycophantic amateurs remaining.

Assassinating foreign leaders, announcing plans to bomb civilians.

A nightmare.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

1 year before he was assassinated, my father spoke out in opposition to the Vietnam War. It heightened hate toward him. He was among the most hated men in America. Many who quote him now would have hated him then & may hate the authentic #MLK today. https://t.co/JYXrowaEVW

“Research shows that 70% of all jobs are not published publicly on jobs sites and as much as 80% of jobs are filled through personal and professional connections.”

Who makes money when the United States goes to war?

What communities are further marginalized and oppressed when the United States goes to war?

We must understand that what my called the Triple Evils of militarism, poverty (capitalism) and racism work in unison.
