#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth Today in history, 1942: The Tuskegee Airmen are initiated into the U.S. armed forces. Officially known as the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group, they were subjected to discrimination despite an exemplary record. /1

NEW: Trump plans to slash USAID from 10K+ staff to just 290—12 for all of Africa, 8 for Asia, 10 for Europe. Founded by JFK in 1961, USAID promotes democracy, peace, and prosperity worldwide. Congress funds it through the Foreign Assistance Act and annual appropriations. In JFK’s own words…

I'm getting a lot of freaked out late-night texts from my friends who are not experienced organizers, looking for advice on how to deal with the constant onslaught of bad news and how to make themselves useful. This is the advice I give.

Do not f*ck with NBC News Chief WH Correspondent Peter Alexander! Keep fact checking live! FOTUS ha nothing left in his tank but to say “Quiet, quiet”.

One year ago, we lost a giant—Joe Madison, “The Black Eagle.” His voice was a force for truth, justice, and action. In times like these, we need his wisdom, his passion, and his unwavering commitment to justice more than ever. His legacy lives on in the fights we continue.

“If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." – Martin Luther King Jr 💪🏽☀️🙌🏽 (A l'assaut)

@mrlamontking.bsky.social “It sparked something in me, urging me to move, to change, and to strive for better. I would like to suggest the possibility of having an Urban View Townhall with Dr. Barber, yourselves, Karen Hunter, Clay Cane, and Dr. Robin. It would be good medicine for the community."

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a fearless leader who stood for courage, perseverance, and justice. His words remind us, 'We can all get more together than we can apart.' Let's recommit ourselves to building the nation he dared us to envision.

‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

Today I am looking at quotes from the great Martin Luther King, Jr. His legacy is an inspiration. "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of convenience and comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - From his 1963 book, Strength to Love

Martin Luther King Jr. stood against antisemitism & fostered unity between Black and Jewish communities in the fight for civil rights. He emphasized shared struggles against oppression, famously stating, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” Let’s unify across cultures again 💙

I’ll always be on the side of these heroes.

I didn’t vote for this. None of us did.

Jeffries: Two months ago the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th president  Republicans: *cheer* Jeffries: Thank you for that very generous applause. It's ok. There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.

President Jimmy Carter, our 39th President who lived to be 100, was one of our finest examples of humility and humanity. He demonstrated perfectly how a former President should conduct himself. I am saddened by news of his passing, but feel privileged to have seen him. RIP, President Carter. 🙏💔

I detect no lies… 😕 This country has the means to do so much more for its citizens, but greedy politicians are beholden to their wealthy donors, the NRA and big corporations. To them, it’s all about money and power, not the health and the well being of the American people.

left this message on Twitter: In 2025 and beyond: We mind our business. We drink our water. We sip our tea. We do NOT engage. We do not meddle. We let this play out the way it is supposed to. And while the chaos ensues, let's make sure we're creating, building, growing, and doing.

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way. Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.
