@serge That’s a big reason I’m here. The blatant #antisemitism doesn’t bother me near as much as does the generally apathetic response of admins and other users.
“Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.” —#MLK

Those who act surprised by the actions of Trump administration, seem to have forgotten the dark history of police fascism in the US.
"The white man does not abide by the law...His police forces are the ultimate mockery of law."
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Winter 1968. A few months after saying these words, he was murdered by the police.
He warned them decades ago and was murdered for it.
Picked these few fragments from #ihaveadream of #martinlutherking
( delivered 28 August 1963 #Washington #usa ):
"We cannot walk alone."
"We cannot turn back."
"No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.""

In our final part of the series on Becoming a Resisting Church, we have to ask ourselves what we should do when everything else we do to change hearts and minds fails. We can do everything right and we can still fail to make a difference in the world around us. The Rev. Dr. Martin … Read more …

"“There is no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.”
- MLK
Truly an incredible day.
Thank you those who marched and rallied, and thank you to those who organized these events around the country. I know how hard you’re working.
My rally in #Cincinnati was packed with thousands, and we marched from Music Hall to City Hall"

Score! $4 at the #library sale.
Shattered Sword (about the battle of Midway) and Indianapolis have been on my list for years since listening to the Dan Carlin #HardcoreHistory series on imperial Japan. Moon Shot is a classic, of course.
I have only heard a few #MLK speeches and sermons in full, but I have read the text of many of these, and they are powerful. Very much looking forward to listening to these on my walks.

Early evening, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

Today is the 57th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King in Memphis. He was in town to rally support for striking sanitation workers. The evening before, MLK gave his "I've been to the Mountaintop" speech at the Church of God in Christ Headquarters before a crowd of two thousand.
Excerpt plays in the post (3:28).
The "good old times" the Republicans want to go back to:
Today In Labor History April 4, 1968: James Earl Ray assassinated Martin Luther King at the Lorraine Hotel, Memphis, Tennessee. King was in Memphis to support the sanitation workers’ strike that had started in February, 1968, for better working conditions and higher pay. The strike began 2 weeks after 2 workers were crushed to death when their truck malfunctioned, intensifying the already high level of frustration and anger over working conditions and safety. King led a protest march on March 28. Over 20,000 kids cut class to join the demonstration. Some members of the march began smashing downtown windows and looting. The cops intervened with mace, tear gas, clubs and live gunfire, killing 16-year-old Larry Paine, who had his hands in the air when he was shot. On April 3, one day before his assassination, King gave his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech.
#OnThisDay in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at his motel in Memphis, Tennessee.
The night before, in what felt like a premonition, King delivered his powerful "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech, reflecting on his life and legacy. The next day, unidentified reporters broke the tragic news of his shooting and eventual assassination.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. ~ #MartinLutherKingJr #MLK #quotes #silence
