Because the audience must include our military, the Supreme Court who enabled him, and especially Congress.

This article offers a very interesting account of how MLK's decision to employ confrontational non-violence was criticized by contemporaries, including Malcolm X and RFK. But it worked.

Everything is so expensive.
The average price of ground beef in the US is now a record high $6.67 per pound.
We are a country without affordable groceries for our own citizens.
Since 2020, ground beef prices are up +72% coffee up +52%, and chicken breast up +36%.
This is not a good sign.

Republican lawmakers are doing what they've done for the last decade: whispering to each other that the head of their party is unhinged and frightening, then acting in public as if everything is just fine. They are cowards who have sold out their country.

Philadelphia showed up on MLK Jr. Day.
From the Immigration Court at 9th & Market to ICE’s field office, the city marched in defiance: against ICE raids, against state violence, against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Dr. King taught us: justice requires action. Philly answered.
