Just as historians and people paying attention have been saying for years, Trump is playing out of Hitler's handbook. He’s such an epic failure of a human that he can't even be evil without stealing ideas from someone else. Humanity will continue to stand up and fight back, bc fuck those guy.

"And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace, our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King"...

"It should be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people" #mlkday #steviewonder
Happy Birthday

I wrote about how I'm spending the day building community and how we can follow King's blueprint over the next four years. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/20/o...

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

Trump tried to ban TikTok when he was president, but now he’s forcing the company to grovel to him so he can pretend to be the savior and bring it back on Monday. American law and public policy is now for sale to the highest bidder. 💰💰💰
