I remember his Letter from the Birmingham Jail where he said he didn't fear his enemies most, but his friends who remain silent.

Or words to that effect.

Everyone must listen to the entirety of this speech. It is so relevant in 2025 and will both bring you to tears and put fire in your belly.

I’m eternally grateful for the impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in our hearts, in our nation and in our world. I would love that we honor his memory by building a future that he would be proud of, once we live through the dishonor, failure and damage of the current POTUS, VP and their minions.

The problem nowadays is that “freedom of speech “ for the extreme right is equal to “fake news”

The only speech the extreme right respects is speech they agree with. If they don't agree, then they want to squash the speech and take away your right to say those things. And then after they do that, they squawk about being Constitutional conservatives.

How crazy is it that we have a Federal Holiday for honoring MLK, but young adults at the US Naval Academy, serving the same country that honors him, may be unable to access his autobiography at their UNIVERSITY library because it was flagged by their gov't as promoting DEI? (final list not released)

I believe they took him off the final list. Maya Angelou is on it though. As are 390+ others.
