⁦@GovWesMoore⁩ My walkway was cleared out to the road. We waited for days for a plow and when someone comes finally the backhoe dumps a wall of snow blocking my sidewalk and driveway. How am I suppose to get to work now. #Moco do better #Maryland do better

You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?)
We going to stand up for our right (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Get up, stand up (in the morning, don't give it up)
Stand up for your right (stand up right now)
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight (don't give it up, don't give it up)

Get up, stand up (get up, stand up)
Stand up for your right (get up, stand up)
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight (get up, stand up)

I put these two clips of Daddy together because I want to share him saying “I’m tired of marching,” then, after continuing the multifaceted work of nonviolence, saying “I’ve been to the mountaintop.”

The 2nd clip is from the speech he gave the night before he was assassinated.

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026

by Amanda Gorman

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.

Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love 
& better angels of our nature.

What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice; 
In the end, gorgeously, 
Endures our enormity. 

You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

Anthony Jackson played the iconic bassline on The O’Jays’ song “For the Love of Money”. He was only 20 years old when he recorded it, and the bassline was so influential that he received a co-writing credit for the track. (R.I.P.) 🌹 #LongLiveTheCulture ✊🏾

Somewhere I read, the greatness of America is the right to protest for rights.

Happy No Kings Day.

I've never seen the actual establishment sell Obama's legacy as well as this organic hit
