It’s MLK day. Who cares about that thing inauguration! Ridiculous thing going on. Only simple-minded people watch Jerry Springer. Just like with that idiotic inauguration…
No too mention all that tacky wastefulness. Lack of tastes and wealth display when Americans are dying and in dire situations is just vanity and gluttony. They remind me of all those super rich tacky people who invite you to dinner but you have to pay or bring a side dish…
I had suggested that everybody quit Twitter and Facebook to celebrate, but then I saw this. It seems like a very interesting point. It makes me wonder if I had fallen for a psy-op.
It seems 300 chars isn't great for nuance. Your health comes first. Protect yourself from toxicity, do your best to preserve the community. Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Let's beat these fuckers, and by that, I mean oligarchs, not Republicans.
An interesting POV... not sure I entirely I agree because if the drop in users was substantial enough, the investors who own stock would care even if Zuckerberg, etc were willing to take the losses.
As with everything, nuance. I think the OP (from twitter) has a valid point, but it's also important to maintain and protect communities *as well as* your own mental health. If it's best for you to GTFO, by all means, jump! Try to bring the community with you if you can. Your mental health is key!
Yeah, not buying it. We WANT an excuse to stay because leaving is hard. Bluesky, notice boards, Signal, e-mail groups, IN-PERSON (*gasp*) meetings-we found a way to live in community before Meta. As long as we're on those platforms, we're subjects in rage/interest farming and narrative manipulation.
Good. I'm not selling it. I just don't trust anything anymore and it felt like a psyop. For my part, I'm not attached to either. I have an unused x account and quit FB in... I think 2013?
I'd just advocate not to cut off one's nose to spite one's face.
I will look for other ways to communicate with family and community...but for the short term, Meta is the way I stay commented.
And this does make a very valid argument.
Also, Pole Flags can be hung half-mast—and black mourning streamers for porch flags are available. This can be done for both President Carter and for the fallen state of our country under Trump/MAGA.
Every informed, intelligent person in America will be celebrating the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. on January 20th. We are mourning nothing and we are no ways tired. This post borders on being offensive. Be informed, intelligent and aware that January 20th is MLK DAY every Year!
Please excuse my lack of knowledge being Aus, but can I please ask who selected the date for Trump thing, I’m no fan of his and find it disrespectful to invade MLK Day 🙏 Respect
Any color but black. This post is tantamount to a declaration of surrender, on a day that commemorates one of our greatest fighters for human rights. Human rights for people of color l, are human rights for all of us and to turn a day of service, into a day of mourning?! Offensive!
Ok. I’m happy to have a great distraction that day. The kids in the March visited the MLk Jr statue in DC last week. Here’s a photo I took as they learned more about his contributions. My story will be two fold.
Sorry, but it's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Day, and NO ONE is going to take that away from us!! Do a Day of Service & celebrate Diversity, which they are trying to take away, like Gov Braun of IN did with his Executive Order cancelling DEI!!😱
The right figured out they could say "critical race theory" or "DEI" at the start of a sentence and then repeat what ever tire racist policy or dog whistle from the past and some how this is now acceptable - we new to call it what it is racism
You are absolutely right. It’s just using more “acceptable” terminology because the words are “prettier” than “racism” and most people don’t even know what it all means.
We have so many willfully ignorant people in this country it’s terrifying. And they vote 😕
The media, or a bunch of trained dogs, every single one of them, from Wolf Blitzer to Dana Perino, they are all full of shit and they don’t do their job. He’s a felon and he’s going to be president. America, you’re a fucking embarrassment.
I plan on honoring MLK Jr. in any way I can and not give the orange scumbag a second thought.
I mourn Jimmy Carter and those who have left us who had more love and compassion in their little fingers than Trump can ever possess. This should be a day of standing up and being resilient.
It was too damn hard to talk to people about politics and everything going on. Nobody listened or talked about it if they didn't have to, and when they did they only spouted dumb shit because only propaganda got spread the most on radios, tvs, newspapers, and memes in their FB or X echo chambers.
Millions of Americans are definitely regretting their vote and for not listening. The i told you so and bitch fest is crazy right now I assure you, and several people are terrified and that alone is not a good thing, because it leads to anger and more hate, which leads to suffering.... *Sighs*
Sorry, I’m not wearing anything black. This is a day for me to celebrate and commemorate the fight and legacy of MLK Jr. This shouldn’t be a day of mourning. It should be a day for us to study and use the lessons of civil rights leaders like, MLK, to continue the fight.
AMEN! Every informed, intelligent person in America will be celebrating the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. on January 20th. We are mourning nothing and we are no ways tired. This post borders on being offensive. Hell it is offensive.
I mean, I wear a lot of black in general so I'll be doing both. Wearing black, but respecting the day as MLK Jr.'s day and not giving Dump Truck an OUNCE of attention.
MLK Jr, Gandhi, and Mandela were arrested for boycotting injustices and were never convicted of a felony.
Jesus Christ was not a real person.
Donald Trump was arrested for fraud and multiple crimes for personal gain, and was convicted of multiple felonies.
You are in a cult. Read a book.
🇨🇦 here. I will be mourning for all the Americans who didn’t choose this. And all the people around the world who will also suffer because of his ridiculous actions. I can’t believe we are here again.
Screw that. I'm so tired of the losing strategy of "Trump is evil". He may or may not be, but I'm a freaking American! I don't always get what I want, but I will fight for it. I'm not going underground for 4 year. I'm also not going to focus just on the orange guy. Seriously, wake up and learn
I already started the wearing of the black. Because that's just how bad I feel. I wish Dump knew that over half of the US wakes up every day hoping that he died overnight.
It's MLK Jr. Day, I'm NOT going to be in a state of mourning. I'm going to celebrate the life and teachings of one of the most revered, respected and impactful leaders of our time (any time really). Can't think of a better protest statement than that.
I’ll be wearing black, no TV on, will be attending a Zoom meeting with League of Women Voters “Observer Corps” where we attend local meetings, such as school boards, city councils, Board of Supervisors, to report back on activity in violation of laws, inform the public.

The point is 1. This post is offensive and needs to be removed modified and reposted. 2. For years MLK Day has been on January 20th. A day of service. Turning that into a day of mourning is wrong. 3. You mourn things you have lost. Right now we have lost nothing. We still have a fight coming.
Think your response makes several good points. I will pay zero attention to Orange Cry Baby and that circus. I am trying to encourage people to celebrate the life and work of MLK Jr on the 20th and his positive legacy. We need to encourage people to be positive and do things to grow moderate support
I could be wrong but the mourning may still be for the loss of President Carter. That is how I read it. I'll be doing both, mourning for President Carter and celebrating MLK Jr/service. I'll have no time for a convicted orange felon and insurrectionist as he makes a mockery of the presidency.
Can we also please make this a ‘Trump and clan’ free zone that day?! Recognize Martin Luther King Jr. and other inspiring leaders as well as positive strategies and ideas on how to build coalition and progress going forward.
MLK Jr. Day of Service is that day. Americans are encouraged to volunteer in their communities. Maybe we should all be too busy volunteering or attending/participating in a parade or event that honors MLK to notice anything else is going on.
Are you tired of the vague "Seat at the Table" promises from the Two Party system? You are invited to Crash the House Appropriations SubCom for Defense Via this VIP VIRTUAL INFLUENCER PROGRESSIVE PROJECT.
Got it. I have the outfit. We all need to have a t-shirt that says no Nazis in America. Git your ass to Germany have your Holocaust over there.spelling so they understand
It's beat the hell out of an elected republican day.
Threaten me and mine with a good time, expect a response.
I may not physically beat one of these people on January 20th but life is going to get very miserable for many of them.
Don't get even, burn it to the ground before you are the victim.
You people had 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden to prove you’re right.
You didn’t because obviously you’re not.
Proving Trump wrong does not prove Liberals right.
This day will be remembered as the abomination of desolation. This man curses the oath of office. This man obstruct the constitution. The man is a rapist criminal. Only criminals follow Donald Trump.
And besides, I'm planning on listening to YouTube Music and watching Pluto TV, not to mention honoring MLK Day on Monday instead of that stupid, depressing inauguration 😒😒😒😒😒😒
And then? it will change nothing!
Maybe this helps more, to unite and feel togetherness for once again IRL, and march for what you/we stand for. To let the world really see with real humans that "the land of the free" doesn't take it anymore! https://bsky.app/profile/worthnoting.bsky.social/post/3lfvafvstj22r
I will be BUT I will also be posting and celebrating Dr Martin Luther King! We should be FLOODING social media with tributes to MLK with no mention of what else is taking place that day!
Online retailers should have created half-mast flags that we all could put in our yards on Jan 20. To counteract the Republicans raising the flags despite Carter's passing and mourning the next four years.
Last time, i wore head-to-toe black & my MAGA boss asked me if I'd be watching the inauguration. "What am I wearing, Rich? Read the room." He dropped the subject.
Thank God for WFH now.

It’s not even a thing.
We have something else. Something GOOD. And right.
The fact that seeing people volunteering on Monday instead of showing up for him is just gravy.
And it is offensive … the way they spend money and produce so much waste.
And here I am going to a food bank once a month…
I get it from my Granny, who would say it every time Lives of the Rich & Famous (or whatever it was called) would come on.
First words out of her mouth, every time.
Divided, we fall.
Let's beat these fuckers, and by that, I mean oligarchs, not Republicans.
You do not have to stay on openly hostile platforms just to maintain community. There are other options.
I'd just advocate not to cut off one's nose to spite one's face.
And this does make a very valid argument.
Valid is a new option that's coming soon too.
Still considering my term 2 wardrobe...
Black for a day of mourning.
Red to celebrate along w/mourn Martin Luther King's death/anniversary.
DEI - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Celebrate diversity but also, great job Braun for canceling it?
What am I missing here?
We have so many willfully ignorant people in this country it’s terrifying. And they vote 😕
I mourn Jimmy Carter and those who have left us who had more love and compassion in their little fingers than Trump can ever possess. This should be a day of standing up and being resilient.
Did Justice Roberts check to see if there is anything written in Trump's Bible, bet All the pages are Blank and White.
Karma is REAL, will see what happens moving forward.
Where TF is the spine of the USA?
And two words…Southern Strategy..look it up.
Jesus Christ was not a real person.
Donald Trump was arrested for fraud and multiple crimes for personal gain, and was convicted of multiple felonies.
You are in a cult. Read a book.
Let's mourn his assassination and celebrate his legacy.
Forget the abomination occurring.
We Resist,
We Fight,
Do Not Comply
Fuck the Trump traitors.
They are not going to have an easy 4 years.
We WIN big in 26 and 28.
Like a conference doll wading from booth to booth picking up free swag - WTF are you gonna do you do with them all, sell t-shirts?
Bring it in...

We can't get enough of the schadenfreude.
Love it!!!
Go ahead, traitors. Do it.
Fly it upside down though. That’s most appropriate.
