The only reason POS ran for prez is to stay out of jail. You can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. He lied to whatever a maga base is. About to find out their loved ones won't have insurance. Forget about eggs.
I'll be watching Bugs Bunny cartoons. Sports. Reruns of sitcoms. Cooking shows. And whatever MLK shows I can find online. My city ignores the day every year: they interview the same "Black spokesperson" instead.
Sadly, many of the MLK, Jr., celebrations have been "whitewashed." King was truly a radical in his time, and his letters and speeches outside of the too commonly misused "I have a dream" speech are terrific.
Yes. Albuquerque stations show 5 seconds,then interview a pastor or NAACP guy. Then go back to their usual bullshit about store openings and kissing Trump's ass. Yes, there's only 60,000 Blacks in the entire state,50,000 here in Albuquerque. There's diversity. They don't care.
I'm in DC. They do a better job here both with marches, a day of service, and radio. They often play whole speeches. Of course there will always be people who pay no attention. Lots of willed ignorance in this country. Hang in there. And much peace to you.
I called out local media yesterday for ignoring the LA fires and its impact on transplanted Angelenos that live here. Same strategy they use for MLK and Cinco de Mayo: 5 seconds on the air with a network clip,then send us online for more coverage. Cheap,racist and bullshit.
That’s sad. I’ve been doing my own research on best places for black folks to live in 2025 and someone told me about ABQ being up and coming. So it’s really conservative? :(
Sort of. There's maybe 100,000 Blacks in the entire state. 60,000 are here in ABQ. And there's few Black businesses other than the usual barbershops,beauty shops and churches. I've also noticed some pushback from natives towards those of us who moved from other cities.
Good to know. Thank you! Have you experienced a lot of racism or micro aggressions? Are more black ppl moving into ABQ in recent years or has it slowed?
People should look up the history of Dr. Martin Luther King, who did so much more than just "have a dream" - he also opened the door to desegregate schools, initiated fair housing; voting rights; paved the way to women and black owned businesses and so much more. Look it up!
You couldn’t pay me enough to watch that shit show. Yesterday was all the evidence i needed to know there is no way this country will gain any value over the next 4 years. It’s about stopping the bleeding now.
That is definitely my plan. Will be outside, or watching Netflix or Dateline all day. Going to avoid that spectacle like the plague it is. (Fervently hoping it’s super cold in DC that day, too; maybe with sleet.)
My plan is to listen to Tom @hartmannreport.com at 12:00 noon/Eastern Time. (Either on SiriusXM Progress or on Free Speech TV).
Of which I'll start at 9am with @stephaniemiller.bsky.social
I did. Thanks for the rec
I spent #mlkday today listening to a playlist of #mlk speeches. And making this post below, a slightly different take on my annual👇
I'd rather perform eye surgery on myself than watch a dicktator wannabe put his filthy corrupt hand on a book he's never read and lie like the piece of shit he is.
Dear God, within 2 months, the great economy Biden was never given credit for will be destroyed.
Take a bow stupids, it's all on you.
Boycott the inauguration and watch MLK Day programs.Turn off the tv get out and attend one of many events and park cookouts. Here in Dallas we have events all over the city. BBQs everyone is invited. I love these. Diverse attendees just enjoying conversation, kids running and having fun. MLKs Dream
I was THIS Michelle long before her. Glad she BACKED OFF that stupid "we go high..." bullsht. I told her then. Immediately. They go low, I get my fucking miners hat.
MICHELLE OBAMA is NOT going to the INAUGURATION. Just when I thought I couldn't love my gal any more 🙌🏽😂
She doesn't condone the BS/isn't normalizing the behavior of that RAPIST CONVICTED FELON and is NOT...BENDING THE KNEE.
BLACK WOMEN ARE E-V-E-R-Y THANG ✊🏽
Like we say in Holland: Geen haar op mijn hoofd die eraan denkt om naar de Inauguratie te kijken.
Not a single hair on my head that would even think of considering watching the Inauguration..
It's so sad that this is our big plan to resist. We are entitled, lazy, complacent, and now our country is being handed over to a TREASONOUS, RAPIST, LYING FELON. As other countries take to the streets to fight for their lives, it's time we do the same. We are America. It's time to TRULY #RESIST
And donate to an organization that will fight the Trump administration’s attempts to erode democracy and civil rights. The resistance will need funding!

I wouldn't go either.

Here’s one, you can probably stream it

Alternatives include letting Cartoon Network (or the nonsense channel of your choice) run all day long. Whatever takes the focus off.
