MLK would be the first to applaud a massive protest against DJT & his goons including the GOP & the halfwits that voted for the Trump asshole. How the Dems let this scumbag back into the Whitehouse is beyond comprehension. I want to wake up from this hideous repeat nightmare.

MLK would be leading the protests

He would be smiling down on us libtards

Martin Luther King would not advocate returning hate for hate and vitriol.

His movement pushing back against a culture across the land of lynchings and abuse of power lead to the miracle of peaceful protest. He led the oppressed to follow him in strong not hateful words where he opened a vision of how things will be "I have a dream." And that lead to people embracing reaching the place of their dreams thru peaceful protest.

It is not peaceful protest if we restack hate and repost hate and respond to hate. Just like the abusive authority of old that would skin and hang a black person for no cause and set fire to their home where their families were driven out -- it made things worse to protest violently and present as a threat to authority.

Trump is an authoritarian, and he is limited today as to what he can do to all of us; that includes the MAGAs. He needs MARTIAL LAW. Are you going to throw a tiny stone and be part of it or resist hating back and spreading it? Your call.

Do not respond to the MAGAs set upon us today. They are just as much a victim to Trump's insidious reaching for a reason to declare martial law. Take a pass on all of it. I've gone to other sites where we are represented thru posts made as vile and obscene and full of hate for the MAGAs. I don't align with that at all.

We are all being set up to clash and provide a basis for Trump declaring MARTIAL LAW.

Forewarned is forearmed. Now I'm heading out for a long walk on a beach where I will greet everyone with a smile and a good word MAGA or not. We have more in common than we do not. The last bastion that will fall is our unity any shred of unity that today does remain or can be revived.

MLK ardently believed in protest. As someone else posted, MLK would most definitely be leading the protest. I suggest you educate yourself before posting again. You are unfortunately embarrassing yourself.

I will DEFINITELY be watching "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: A Historical Perspective" on Prime Video and "Boycott" on Max. Anyone have recommendations for anything else on the tube?

Expand full comment

Prime Video is Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos., who is owner of The Washington Post, and is now kissing the ring of King Don. Bezos will reportedly be on the dais tomorrow with King Don, along with his pals Zuckerbeg and Musk.

A boycott of all things Amazon might give Bezos pause. Probably not, but you never know till you try....

I've been thinking about my Amazon reliance. I'm going to start weaning off. Anybody know of places to order that will deliver? I'm thinking maybe Costco? Walmart may just be another wolf in disguise. I'm hoping to find some place.

Expand full comment

Costco is good. Not as much stuff, but a good company.

Expand full comment

An alternative method: Use the Amazon online catalog to locate what you are looking for. Then locate the website of company that makes/provides the article you are looking for. Order directly from them.

I do not have a prime membership. But I do order from Amazon but not often. Prime costs $139 per year plus tax and shipping is free. Otherwise the shipping fee is $7 per order. Then it is cheaper to pay the $7 per order if you do less than 20 orders per year. But with none of the prime extras.

Amazon is a great database, then I buy from the source.

I searched for Amazon alternatives and got a hit with 20 of them.

Costco and Twitter are both good or go directly to the source of the item you want to order. I closed my Amazon account and anything to do with Amazon. I let them know why I was closing the account.

Absolutely, just did the same thing!

If I want something I go directly to the source or just find another source. It takes longer but that is how it was before Amazon. I can remember that period of time and even before that time when I had to go outside and shop in person. I go online for lots of stuff but from the beginning never got roped into Amazon. Even at Whole Foods where all your data is being collected and your shopping list is downloaded and on tap forever; it may be convenient but at what cost. I want to return back to the analog days. It is still there just untapped. It was lovely though. People were more engaged with each other which builds a visual memory of your life not a virtual one.

Walmart is MAGA.

Expand full comment

But it is a good place to shop -- Walmart and employs people like me actually, like you in fact, regular folks working hard to provide for their families -- retirees who need a few bucks to get by -- we need to stop hating our fellow man -- are you afraid of them? What have they done? They dress up in costumes and we make fun of them online. I've seen the extent of some of it and do not align with any of it at all. Trump is going to use hate to divide and incite violence for an excuse to declare Martial Law. It can be avoided by getting out there and looking your neighbors in the eye offering a smile and a kind greeting then moving on -- they are in just as much pain as we are today -- don't you see it?

Expand full comment

I don't give my money to places that give it to the Convicted Felon, that's all. I don't do Hone Depot or Chick-Fil-A either. I never said I HATE them. You did.

I'm going to an MLK Celebration today. I volunteer in my community, I work the election polls. I see what MAGA has done to people: 1) you can't fight brainwashing and 2) you can't fix stupid. They aren't in pain, they are gloating over "owning the libs". I just ignore them and choose not to shop at their stores. But hey, you do whatever you want. It's still a sort of free country.

Have a nice day.

I am not giving up Amazon. There's plenty of other places to shop online but they don't have the supply and delivery service of Amazon. I shop other places online but I would never give up Amazon. It is too convient. That is a boycott you will never win. He is global.

I’m also holding out for some of the currently perceived “villains” to end up being insider double agents. I think there’s hope for Zuckerberg and Bezos. Zuckerberg and his wife were visibly uneasy at the inauguration…then later trump stated how he hated FB. LOTs of people are holding their noses and pretending to be trumpers.

You make a good point. I don't use Amazon, but I can understand where some do not have a choice, absolutely.

I am aware, believe me. I checked on everything the tRUMP Oligarchs own and go with whatever alternatives I can. In this case, I only found one movie about MLK's life that was streaming (I was shocked actuality), so I looked into ownership of Prime Video and he owns a "small portion". So excuse me, just sharing the info I found.

There is something local in your community giving a nod to MLK. I'm heading out right now. Leaving my blue screens at home! I don't want to join in any group events, but that is my personality. Just reading his final speech or any of his speeches can be the wind beneath our wings today.

Look oi YouTube for MLK documentaries , there's many & there may be 1 that you have never seen.

Here in 🍁 we don't have Martin Luther King Day unfortunately :( & we should , we weren't taught black history in school we had to learn about ourselves. Born in 1975, I didn't see colour, almost ½ of my family married black many from Detroit Michigan & I have a lot of 1st & 2nd cousins 181 on my father's side alone, not including the 3rd+ (my father the youngest of 13). The uptick in white nationalism, racism, religion that we're seeing today is unpresented that we didn't see back then, it was probably there but not in our faces like it is now 🌎 wide especially for my whole family & my young grand children being called racist names😢 by kids learning hate from their parents 🤬

My late parents taught us so much, brought us to the underground railroad museums, shared our family history involvement. We're a Secular nation, some families went to church & I've got nothing against them. Our Sundays were big family dinners once the nice weather came after Shirley Temple, NO house could hold us all. Cold months were "ON" & "IT", documentaries, Nature of things, National Geographics. Now we have YouTube , Prime ++++

Sorry for my long reply!

While you listen to KLove, you could turn your TV on to something other than the inauguration and turn the sound off. Every TV not tuned to the inauguration makes a statement.

That was my take on it. Or volunteer somewhere anywhere. Or donate -- maybe to homeless puppies and kittens -- give to an animal shelter in your town -- better yet give to a human being shelter -- personally I'm going into a state of torpor. With a short break for a walk on my favorite beach then a hot coffee and mingling as I go shop to shop in a little town nearby where the people are friendly and everyone knows my name.

That is a honor to MLK. I am so sure he loved puppies and kittens.

My understanding is that a lot of MLK footage has been appropriated by the family to protect his legacy. Just thinking this might make it difficult for MTN to cover. Also they could be accused of misappropriation if they did this. There must be so many channels covering MLK. It might be helpful to point people to them here?

Thank you for the lists! I'm not too surprised by the names and businesses. I find it very interesting that most of the people on the list I have never cared for. The men are pretty obvious....usually white narcissists who think they are the greatest gift to humankind. Brady is one of the worst. Every one of the men have problems with real women. Jenner is a surprise. I would think the homophobes would freak out. Kevin Costner needs to be on your list. He is a republican narcissist. Mel Gibson is so deranged I can't believe anyone listens to him but I guess he fits the profile. "Dr Oz" needs to be added also.

All the money he has comes from corruption, payola, bribery.

Same thing with his meme crypto, the $100K wristwatch; just ways to funnel bribes to him.

There is a saying that says, “ When you take a shot at the king, you better take him out the first time.This is because he will get stronger if you miss.” Regarding t/rump, his trajectory mirrors that of Hitler. Hitler was jailed and survived numerous assignation attempts. Despite his survival, in the end Hitler ended up taking his own life in a dark hole in the ground. I am a big believer in karma. What goes around, comes around. When you are as evil as t/rump, sooner or later you pay a price for the things you have done.
