“The silence of the good people is more dangerous than the brutality of the bad people.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #BlackFriday #BlackMastodon #Mastodon #MLK

Won’t lie, I enjoy elite-on-elite violence (and a rare moment of agreement with the Strib editorial page): https://www.startribune.com/university-of-minnesotas-joan-gabel-should-drop-securian-role/600245420/

Happy 77th Birthday to the great #DollyParton. From movies to music she has done it all. Dolly hit the big screen in ‘80s "9 to 5" co-starring with #JaneFonda & #LilyTomlin. Lately, she's been using her platform for good. Most recently, she partnered with The Imagination Library to send free books to kids.

Happy Birthday to #JamesEarlJones!! 😎

I'm not sure what our snow totals are this year, but I know how much gas I've used to blow it. Last year, I barely used two gallons. This year, I'm over five gallons already.

“This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor."

– Martin Luther King, Jr.

@georgetakei The interesting thing is that I predicted this, EXACTLY, in my 2017 post, "The Emerging Healthcare Reality Crisis"

My words of 2017 almost echo where we are today. And check the maps. They verify.

What I wrote:

There are vast sections of the population today who do not believe in science. They don’t believe in facts. They don’t believe in much other than what they want to believe in.

Their belief system will increasingly drive their attitude and understanding of their healthcare circumstances.

*Going forward, this new reality will prove to be a tremendous challenge for the healthcare system*.

....Many will die an early death.

You can get away with pretending this does not exist on tiktok but twitter requires users to be able to read at least 20 words together

Will the murders never cease?
Are they men or are they beasts?
What do they ever hope
Ever hope to gain?
Will my country fall
Stand or fall?
Is it too late for us all?
And did Martin Luther King
Just die in vain?

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

Stop playing the “I Have A Dream” portion of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.‘s speech. Some in the news media, etc. who play that portion of the speech and some politicians who repeat that portion of the speech are the same people who spit in his eye and yours the other 364 days of the year. The entirety of that Aug 28, 1963 speech must be played. #MLK #BlackMastodon #MLKJr #MLKDay #Mastodon
