"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." βMLK Jr.
Republican lawmakers are doing what they've done for the last decade: whispering to each other that the head of their party is unhinged and frightening, then acting in public as if everything is just fine. They are cowards who have sold out their country.
Letβs honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. not just with words or quotes, but by living his values and putting them into action.
Invoke the 25th Amendment
Can you say 25th Amendment? This is beyond crazy. But we know there are no serious players in this current cabinet.
I canβt even with Noem. Also, donβt fund ICE. youtu.be/FMR3kNkOSso?...
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -MLK
As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.
Exactly!!!
Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.
"I think now more than ever it's important to get out and actually support anti-racism campaigns...because you know, I feel like the world is going backwards."
Arielle Hixson reports live from the MLK Jr. Day parade in D.C. where she spoke with attendees about why they joined the parade.
Iβm the one in the brown hat.
What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. Heβs only wearing crocs.
Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car.
#AbolishICE
The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkinβs executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.
That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.
Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:
"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
Live soon β The City of Boston presents the annual "A Day of Celebration in Honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.," in partnership with @bostonu.bsky.social. Please join @mayorwu.boston.gov and partners from across the city in paying tribute to Dr. King.
Every day from the chamber floor a Dem should call Republicans spineless Quisling cowards.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

ICYMI β In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.
They released him an hour later.
The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )
βWe must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.β -- Martin Luther King Jr.
While Kristi Noem was having a meltdown on TV over fake stats, a new Democratic Governor was quietly dismantling GOP policies on her first day in office. Oh, and the world is literally protesting the US "invasion" of Greenland. You need to read this update:
In the face of hatred, Dr. King inspired us to build a society filled with hope, kindness, and love for our neighbor.
Together, we must continue to work to enact his vision of equal opportunity for all.
Today is Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day! He fought for dignity, civil rights, workersβ rights, & justice! Per the King Center his ββI Have a Dreamβ speech, Nobel Peace Prize lecture and βLetter from a Birmingham Jailβ are among the most revered orations and writings in the English language.β
Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account.
What the fuck are we doing here?
On MLK Day, weβll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Dr. Kingβs work was never finished. It was interrupted.
Sick man!

π "Good luck walking to work, a**holes." Eric Swalwell just went SCORCHED EARTH on ICE. He vowed that if elected Governor, heβll revoke agents' driver's licenses and strip their immunity. This is the aggressive energy we've been waiting for: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/kristi-noe...
