[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

The Audacity to Believe - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from his 1964 Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech: “I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down men other-centered can build up.”

Let’s have the AUDACITY to share this belief and to commit to making this belief a reality.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Instead of attending the Oscars today, actress Soheila Golestani has been banned from leaving Iran and is on trial by the Islamic Republic Revolutionary Court, facing 74 lashes for her part in the Oscar-nominated film ‘The Seed of the Sacred Fig.’

Wondering why food prices are still high? Little-to-no competition across the entire food supply chain allows for a price gouging free-for-all.

Corporate monopolies get rich, and we pay the tab.

Does Trump have a plan to combat this? Of course not.

Keep the receipts.

5/1/23 Joseph Heller b. His novel "Catch-22" gave us a new term. So-called Science of Reading is education catch-22: children's reading skill is improved & enhanced by hearing stories read aloud but read-aloud time is abandoned so there will be more time to teach reading skills.

Good ‘ol “former teacher” Kristey Williams @AugustaMayor wants to change school funding, cutting millions with HB2485, the same bill she tried to sneak into existence last April. If she is successful this time, 124 public schools will lose funding next year, with @USD497 Lawrence losing $847,661, @USD113 Prairie Hills losing $684,844, @USD373 Newton losing $684,336 to round out the top three. This time, all legislators who vote for this bill will know it hurts their local schools. Stop the attacks on public education. @ksleg @kneanews @ksdehq @KASBPublicEd @GovLauraKelly

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion-related propositions have been on the ballot in:

Ohio
California
Kentucky
Michigan
Montana
Vermont
Kansas

Anti-abortion groups lost each time.

The people are speaking loud and clear: They want reproductive freedom.

A great reminder ❤️:

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA.

At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.

At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne (from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook.

At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.

At age 39, Julia Child released her first cookbook and got her own cooking show at age 51.

Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40.

Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40.

Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42.

Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 40.

Morgan Freeman landed his first MAJOR movie role at age 52.

Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57.

Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76.

Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78.

Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it.

You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21.

Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow.

Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.

Never tell yourself you missed your chance.

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.

You can do it. Whatever it is that sets your soul on fire.
