From MLK’s final speech

“But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly.

Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech.

Somewhere I read of the freedom of press.

Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”

To honor Martin Luther King Jr. read his memoir Stride Toward Freedom written as a young man after leading the grassroots victory of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It's the playbook to follow. Listen to this recent Gaslit Nation with MLK's own words for us today:

Today, millions will reflect on the brief life and complicated legacy of MLK. Many will claim their politics are reflected in his mirror. Regardless of ideology, the vast majority will be wrong.

He wasn’t elected, didn’t wait on leaders, and didn’t mistake outrage for action.

He did the work.

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it,” MLK wrote. “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

As always, I recommend revisiting the Letter from a Birmingham Jail. He’s an audio recording of MLK reading the text

“I am in Birmingham because injustice is here…..Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

I've been telling people to take them out of the freaking safe they've got them locked up in and wear them proudly. We are a society that has the RIGHT to bare arms. Stop looking at this guy like he's nuts. He's the smart one.

We’re at the stage of fascism where people are being dragged out of their homes.

Children and babies are hit with chemical weapons.

Peaceful protesters shot in the face and blinded.

A woman shot & killed on camera and it won’t even be investigated.

They condone this.
