I don't know why this is popping up today, but I appreciate @WorldBeyondWar seeing the value in my words. Peace is possible, and we are our most significant obstacle to peace. Believe in yourself and believe in us. We can make it happen. We must be the change we seek. 😀✌️🏾

@DrBLK00 @wessex29292 @BillieJeanKing Dude blocked me. He couldn't take a little truth. 😂

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@wessex29292 @DrBLK00 @BillieJeanKing That’s absurd. You must not know any Black people or very few. Of course there are Black people prejudice against Whites. However, the vast majority of us and our efforts to make our nation, the U.S. live up to its stated values have always included all people. You twist words.

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@wessex29292 @BillieJeanKing Really, don’t twist King’ words? You are right. We haven’t and when and if we do Althea will still be applauded as the first Black tennis player to win a major singles title because she broke a barrier placed on Black people simply because of the color of our skin.

@LibertyNut1 Not just no, but that is ridiculous.

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@TheRightMelissa You all can defend anything. 🙄 Wow 😮. You are actually amazing.

Men killing intimate partners is a global issue. The Rockefeller Institute of Government website citing, a violence and gender report states that of all femicides 40 to 50% are killed by a current or former intimate partner in contrast to 5 to 8% of male homicide victims.

@jaketapper I just watched the story about the Fairfax family tragedy. I appreciate the PSA about support for people thinking about committing suicide. More important in this instance Let’s talk about men killing their partners wives and otherwise. I am pissed at Justin!

@TheLastWord @RepAdamSmith @Lawrence Thank you for your reporting. FYI, Lawrence made a brief comment that the girls killed by the US bomb were brave to try to get an education. Iran does not restrict women & girls from education, but they do face religious rules - hijab etc., & limitations on access to subjects.

@NathanielH44578 @iamAtheistGirl Dude you’re babbling. I’m Veteran For Peace, for human rights and the Beloved community. I served in the military to defend your right to freedom of speech. So I’m good to go on being for... You sound confused. Breaking systems of control means supporting racism? That’s weird.

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@NathanielH44578 @iamAtheistGirl Who said racism was dead? Only the socially blind or those who don’t want to see would say that. I say this as a person who despite the racism loves this country for its aspirations of justice and equality. Like those before me I love it enough to change it for the better.

Crispus Attucks, was the first person killed in boston Massacre of 1770, making him the first casualty of the fight for American independence. He became a matyr.

On March 5, 1770, Crispus Attucks became the first person killed during the Boston Massacre, an event that helped ignite the growing conflict between American colonists and British authorities.

Attucks, a man of African and Native American descent, was among a crowd of colonists gathered in Boston protesting the presence of British soldiers stationed in the city. Tensions between colonists and the British military had been rising for years due to heavy taxation, political disputes, and the enforcement of British laws in the American colonies.

On that evening, a confrontation broke out between colonists and British soldiers outside the Custom House. Amid the confusion and escalating tension, soldiers fired into the crowd. Five colonists were killed and several others were wounded.

Crispus Attucks was the first person struck by the gunfire, making him the first casualty of the Boston Massacre. Because the event became one of the most important turning points leading to the American Revolution, Attucks is often remembered as the first person to die in the struggle that eventually led to American independence.

Little is known about Attucks’ early life, but historians believe he was born around 1723 and may have escaped from slavery before becoming a sailor and dock worker. Like many laborers and sailors in Boston at the time, he lived and worked in a busy port city where political tensions and debates about liberty were common.

In the years that followed, the Boston Massacre became a powerful symbol used by colonial leaders to rally opposition against British rule. Engravings, pamphlets, and speeches spread news of the event throughout the colonies, helping to fuel revolutionary sentiment.

During the 19th century, particularly during the abolitionist movement, Crispus Attucks was remembered and honored as an early symbol of Black participation in the fight for freedom. Activists pointed to his sacrifice as evidence that people of African descent had played a role in the struggle for liberty from the very beginning of American history.

@GXCapitalist @WhiteHouse Do you know that the US instigated a coupe that ousted a democratically elected government in Iran installing a dictator who the people rejected? That’s what led to the 1979 revolution. The US and Britian created the problem.

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@adam__xyz @WhiteHouse It's like the novel 1984. They think we all are dummies controlled by propaganda nonsense or afraid of them. We are neither.

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@BitcoinKingXXI @WhiteHouse Wow! This is one of the most stupid things I have ever seen.

These two great elders are now ancestors. #JoanneBland transitioned on February 19th; Dr. #BernardLafayette Jr. transitioned today. Both courageously organized and acted for voting rights; both continued to educate on the movement, on civil rights, and, particularly with Dr. LaFayette, on the principles and steps of Kingian Nonviolence. I am grateful for their lives and inspiration, and I am praying for their families and communities.

@NathanielH44578 @iamAtheistGirl All those things are manufactured? 🤔OK.

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@sherrilynthinks Disagreeing with Dems, which I do on many things and have for years, and becoming MAGA are two different things. If you can't tell, they don't really care about you; that's on you! But be careful, and you can come home when you wake up.

[Michael T McPhearson @MTMcPhearson]

@MAGAVoice My flags are not that big. I do not feel the need to proclaim my patriotism. I do it through actions such as expanding the meaning of freedom and justice for all to actually include everyone.
