An image of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words: “I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because ‘truth crushed to earth will rise again.’ How long? Not long, because ‘no lie can live forever.’ “ Alabama State Capitol, March 25, 1965

Kentucky and Tennessee have flooded repeatedly in recent years, but with little ability to develop land on higher ground, many residents are forced to continue living in high-risk areas.

9/ @jessecoburn.bsky.social is concerned about how shifting HUD and DOT policies — such as restrictive zoning laws or highway expansions — will affect those who depend on affordable housing and public transit.

Reach out to him if you work for or are impacted by these agencies.

It reads: “I'm tracking how the Trump administration reshapes policy at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Transportation. If you work for HUD or DOT or are affected by what they do, l'd like to hear from you. jesse.coburn@propublica.org or 917-239-6642 on Signal and WhatsApp.

Reflecting on & honoring the life & legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…
A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. Beyond Vietnam Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

#WisdomOfKatherineMay
A quote from Katherine May’s book, Wintering. I recognized winter. I saw it coming (a mile off, since you ask), and I looked it in the eye. I greeted it and let it in. I had some tricks up my sleeve, you see. I've learned them the hard way. When I started feeling the drag of winter, I began to treat myself like a favored child: with kindness and love. I assumed my needs were reasonable and that my feelings were signals of something important. I kept myself well fed and made sure I was getting enough sleep. I took myself for walks in the fresh air and spent time doing things that soothed me. I asked myself: What is this winter all about? I asked myself: What change is coming?
