🗣️”May I remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence. Even the lack of willpower to help humanity is a sick and sinister form of violence.” #CorettaScottKing #Coretta99 #DearCoretta #MLK #TheKingCenter

“I’m being arrested for filming.” “Georgia Fort, an Emmy-winning journalist, says federal agents arrived at her door with a warrant tied to video she recorded at a church protest weeks ago. In a live stream, she questioned how documenting a public demonstration as a member of the press could lead to her arrest — raising serious concerns about First Amendment rights and press protections. As more details come to light, the incident is prompting urgent questions about what it means to cover protests and whether journalists can safely do their jobs without fear of retaliation.

To adjust is to be complicit. Let’s not adjust to mass shootings. Let’s not adjust to institutionalized racism. Let’s not adjust to voter suppression. Let’s not adjust to police brutality. Let’s not adjust to poverty and despair. Let’s not adjust to any forms of violence.

Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and African American Librarian of Congress, was abruptly dismissed this week by President Trump. Her leadership modernized the institution and championed inclusive access to knowledge. Her removal raises urgent concerns about political interference in our cultural guardianships. This moment calls us to defend truth, access, and education as pillars of a just society. #DefendTruth #DrCarlaHayden #LibraryofCongress #LibrarianofCongress

Newark Mayor #RasBaraka was arrested while peacefully protesting outside an #ICE facility — standing in solidarity with immigrants detained in inhumane conditions. When elected officials peacefully put their bodies on the line for justice, they demonstrate the sacrificial power of nonviolent resistance. This moment demands moral courage. It demands public servants who serve the people, not power. Mayor Ras Baraka got into ”good trouble” and is standing up for the people of his city.
