We're told that we just don't have the money for health care. But apparently we have plenty of money to upgrade Trump's private jet.
We don't suffer from a lack of resources. We suffer from a lack of moral imagination.
Fifty-seven years ago today, our family lost my uncle, Reverend A.D. King, my father’s only brother.
His death came just over a year after my father’s assassination, deepening the grief our family was already carrying. Uncle A.D. was a minister, movement leader, husband, father, brother, and beloved member of our family.
Although we still have many questions about the circumstances of his death, there is no question about the meaning of his life or the love our family continues to carry for him.
Today, I remember Uncle A.D. and hold close every family living with grief, unanswered questions, and the lasting absence of someone they love.

@Martina what does it really matter whether the person ordering the slaughter waves a MAGA cap or a rainbow flag?...if Trump has a saving grace, it's that the mask is off now and more people are aware of the true face of US imperialism...
Well- the gains helped Tom deal with his depression! So a big plus in every way, no? Other than the fact that it’s illegal and he needs to show up for work????
The 2020 election was not rigged and no votes were changes. Donald Trump's reaction was to sue and incite a violent insurrection in the Capitol.
Trump is once again laying the groundwork to try to overturn elections he is about to lose. We need to be prepared to fight back.
Reverend C.T. Vivian stood with my father and helped shape a movement grounded in faith, courage, and nonviolence.
Six years after his passing, his life continues to show us what steadfast commitment to justice looks like.

I've lost contests.
I've lost some games.
I've missed out on some jobs.
But I'll say this: In my 58 years of life, it has NEVER taken me as long to get over losing than it's taking trump to get over Joe Biden beating his ass. He will never recover.
That's wild.
@OccupyDemocrats Republicans are fucking NAZIS. PERIOD. I never want to hear any more denials. They follow ever play in Hitler's playbook, AND they are pedophile rapists.
BREAKING: HELL YEAH! The New York Times hits back HARD against Trump by filing to quash the "abusive and improper subpoenas" that he's crookedly using to target their journalists.
This is how you defend the First Amendment...
“They violate the constitutional rights of The Times and its journalists,” stated The Times’s top newsroom attorney David McCraw. “We are going to court to defend our journalists’ rights to report freely on the administration and to provide the public with stories that matter.”
He described the subpoenas — which were delivered by federal goons who showed up at the reporters' homes — as “brought in bad faith to punish the Times for its coverage” and said that they “violate the constitutional rights” of the outlet.
The subpoenas aim to compel the journalists to testify before a grand jury about confidential sources and were delivered in the wake of their reporting on the likely security-compromised jet that Trump accepted from Qatar to use as Air Force One. The Times reports that Trump was "enraged" by their coverage.
In addition to quashing the subpoenas, McCraw is working to get them unsealed because The Times "believes that the public has a right to information about this case and is also seeking to have the papers unsealed.” The fact that they're sealed at all demonstrates that the Trump administration realizes they're on shaky legal and moral ground here and would rather conduct this business in the dark.
The Times's Executive Editor Joe Kahn described the subpoenas as "a naked attempt to intimidate The New York Times and to keep us from reporting on matters that we think are essential to national security," adding that he has "seen the way an authoritarian government can keep journalists from reporting on a huge amount of news and information that’s very clearly in the public interest.”
“It’s really essential to American democracy that that kind of erosion of press freedoms not happen here,” he added.
Simply put, Donald Trump is the most anti-free speech President in history. He doesn't believe in the First Amendment as a sacrosanct right and would prefer an America in which he could jail his political opponents for daring to utter even the tamest of criticisms of his failed administration.
Thankfully, The New York Times is fighting back!
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with The New York Times!
Trump, you lost the 2020 election. If the election was rigged, it was rigged by your administration as your administration was in charge leading up to, during and after the election. There was no foreign interference. There was no fraud. The election was not stolen. You lost old man. I would say deal with it, but that would require a level of emotional maturity you obviously lack.
