I'm celebrating Martin Luther King Jr becuz he deserves recognition! He used the power of words & acts of nonviolent resistance, such as protests, grassroots organizing & civil disobedience to achieve the impossible! MLK Jr is my hero

I have a dream that Trump will die & nobody gives a flying fuck!

Dr. King’s words remain as powerful and relevant today as ever. Speaking truth to power and standing against injustice is not just an option—it’s a duty. Let’s honor his legacy by refusing to stay silent. #MLKDay #JusticeForAll

Thanks, Mehdi. To you, too.

Someone told me (I haven't watched anything) that Trump said he would halt the "decline" of the U.S.

Yeah...and initiate a FALL.

MLK witnessed a rape and laughed about it. He’s a fraud, and wholly a creation of Stanley Levison, who wrote all his speeches and served as the bagman for CPUSA

You can say nice words but still remain silent and support the oppressor yourself. Remember King’s position in supporting Israel in the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The words do not define us; our actions do.

Even our government was crooked and corrupt back in the day of Martin Luther King. He saw it, but he didn't live to expose who they were!

King’s work for African Americans was vital, but his focus centered on their struggles rather than broader human rights. This doesn’t diminish his role, but we shouldn’t overstate it as universal human rights advocacy considering his support for Israel in Israel-Palestinian conflict.

catmomcny.bsky.social•33 days ago

I think you’re an amazing journalist. I hope people would look towards this man’s plan to regain our democracy. Thanks for your attention
