I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

In Europe, we are way too friendly, accommodating and dependent on US Big Tech & Oil. It is truly time to throw those Trump enablers out of our continent, they surely can sell their privacy & environment destroying stuff to Putin.

Take care of your mental wellbeing, my dear folks. Talk to others, share opinions, dream about the beauty of this world.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
