Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

Feeling thoughtful on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2018 and MISSING THE OBAMAS!!
i am feeling you Judith…but we have their words to bolster us..
Listen to the man.
go sam bee.
she calls out all the lying pos that are rethugs for their blatantly fake love for MLK in her timeline.
Yes, Ms. Bee. Call out his glaring hypocrisy. No one connected to Trump should open his/her mouth to talk about Dr. King while supporting Trump’s bigotry. The nerve!
lol. joy nailed it.
THIS
the corrupt coward lives up to his name.
YES - glad she said it!
CORRECT.
Heads held high, Hearts strong - big hugs all around to each of the dedicated TOD Family Village! My nervous system is overloaded these days, pollen season coming in soon. The construction project 100’ outside my window will be on eye level with my apartment next week, the noise is horrific. This year I will not be able to witness the rising sun on the Equinox, which aligns the north facing wall… and still no sleep for WMP/W. Not sure how long I will be able to manage.
Despite all that (thank goodness) we welcome a New Moon tomorrow evening: Tuesday 16th January 2018. 26♑️54. 9:17pmET. 6:17pmPT.
Supermoon/Total Eclipse due in on 31st Jan, followed by a Solar Eclipse on 15th Feb.
Will post Alan’s feature about fakepos shortly, if all goes well, dude will get his tail end whupped for good, when these two have at him, especially the Solar Eclipse. Sure hope the stars come through for us!
(((((((((((hugs))))))))))) Pamela

Well, twice I have posted the article mentioned, and twice it has completely failed to appear. I give up. Thank you for the much needed hugs. Please keep me close in your thoughts, maybe light a candle for WMP/W… 🕯🙏🏻❤️🍵💐
Sending you love and prayers.
You are in my thoughts and prayers, Pamela! 🙏
Love you Mighty P! 😘
Wondering if he could crawl any further up there?
gawd, what a creepy crawly asskissing pos. CA can do much better.
Kevin McCarthy is an idiot. Trump seem to attract those.
Yep, in certain circles McCarthy isn’t known as the smartest person in Washington. From what I’ve heard, in high school the guy failed lunch. I can see McCarthy brainstorming about ways to impress Trump. McCarthy was probably sitting in his under in his hotel room with a bunch of starburst and a jar separating the reds and the pinks from the other colors. What a fucking moron, what a fucking moron.
Failed lunch:) LOL
Kevin McCarthy is such a small insignificant weak man that runs to and fro to deliver candy to an even smaller less significant man. What kind of man would make it his mission to deliver candy to Trump? I’m almost embarrassed for McCarthy, his constituents should be embarrassed. McCarthy is like a fly that happily flies around fresh shit deposited by an elephant.
Remember in a recorded secret meeting, McCarthy said Putin was paying Trump and Rep. Rohrabacher. Traitor!
I really love her tweets
Happy Martin Luther King’s Day.
2 weeks and 1 day into 2018, what a year!
Love President Obama’s Tweet today, especially.
Congrats, Judith on your solid Au ⭐ Furst 😉
Thank you, NW for all you do for Us.
{{{ ❤ Chips ❤ }}}
I hope Randy Bryce kicks Paul Ryan to the curb. It’s time regular working folks and not millionaires are running the country.
Heard Rep. Waters is boycotting the SOTU. Good for her, I too would rather boycott PP’s crap-show and do something more productive instead.
I will say this, at least the Democrats had the spine to question President Obama, and at times call him out on certain issues. They didn’t always take his word as gospel, they questioned him about everything as well they should have. Now juxtapose that with how the Republicans never question Trump on anything, Trump can utter the n-word in broad daylight and you will have Republicans feigning ignorance.
Don, you know that is coming…uttering the N word in public….Wait for it!
Ugh, I can hear that one coming too.
And of course, Trumpsters will ask why black people can say it, rappers say it all the time, what’s the problem?
Call it another teaching moment for America!
Yep.
Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash. - “Where Do We Go From Here”
Starburst McCarthy groveling to a circus clown. Pathetic.

Well, he knows how to play the game.
If you don’t make Trump mad, he won’t tweet some idiotic middle-school nickname for you and sic all his crazy lemmings on you.
It is always a joy to read a tweet from the last legitimate POTUS.
PBO’s message is forever uplifting.
This is so true and my awe and admiration grows more each year that I’m alive past the age Dr King was when he was murdered.
What contribution as a black woman, who was once called a Colored Girl, have I made in the advancement for my people? Have I done my part in the fight for equality? For voting rights? For health coverage?
Dr King accomplished so much in a short time.
I would like to think I’ve done a small part in bending the arc of justice with my participation to help elect PBO -twice.
Rambling thoughts and reflections today
Have I done enough?
good thoughts
The exact characteristics needed to be a Trump supporter.
Though his wealthy supporters may just be plain greedy.

We have our first crack at Turning PA Blue on March 13 with the special election in PA-18! You can help by making some calls for Conor Lamb! The Pennsylvania Democratic Party has set up a virtual phone bank - complete with scripts - which you can use to make calls from anywhere. Since this is a special election, one of the most important parts of the work we need to do is just letting people know about the election in March and how important it is they get to the polls.
All you need to make calls is an ActionID, which you can get with your email address using the instructions here: http://padems.com/guide-actionid. It takes less than a minute to get signed up. Please share (since this is a closed group, you will have to cut and paste this post)

Please fax these to Mueller’s office!
Happy MLK Day to everyone! Sorry for that late greeting!
Did this take place today? Did Ed Krassenstein cite the source of this “BREAKING” news?
What an inspiring and uplifting day! Our local radio station played Dr. King’s speeches all morning. I heard some for the first time. I am thankful that his campaign for equality and justice was not limited to the USA but extended globally. He inspired our own freedom warriors here in my country. Happy Dr. Martin Luther King’s Day to all!
This video was a pleasure to watch!
I love hats, and all these treasures. What a delightful program. I grew up wearing a hat to church every Sunday. Always felt special with a beautiful hat on. I think we all walk taller when wearing a hat.
Looooove this!
Imagine what those hypocrites on Capitol Hill, Fox and right wing media would have said if President Obama was playing golf when that alarm when off in Hawaii, and he continue to play golf.
Yup ….
Sweet interview with Pete:
Good evening Nerdy & TOD. Hoping everyone had a peaceful and healthy MLK day.

dang, guy gets his 8 hours of beauty sleep and wakes up to find the kenyan hitting yet another million mark.
omg, so cute- reminds me of the little goats that jump around so happily 🙂
I’m no lawyer, but I bet this is spot on:)
Goodnight TOD ….
Morning everyone.
WOW!!
THIS is exactly what they fail to understand! And if they DO (for some reason) understand this, they don’t like it
Dangerous fool. Found out on live tv that the pardon he accepted from PP was an admission of guilt to his crimes. Sweet karma
good grief he’s dumb as a rock- how the eff did anyone find him acceptable to vote for & put into office?? First time I’ve listened to this knucklehead.
Jaysus! Only time I’ve heard this idiot! I think rocks can be beautiful! This fool is dumb & ugly. Entitled twit! 😯
Don’t get me started! Starts with old, scared white people…
That said, he was defeated HANDILY in the last election and we elected a compassionate, law-abiding DEMOCRAT to take his place:)
LOL … shouldn’t he be on a mission to find a birth certificate or something?
He is a vile _ (fill in the blank).
All Hands! Make the calls!
Sent my Resistbot 10 minutes ago about this. Also called offices last week.
Friendly reminder
Sweet mother:) This makes my heart race. Yes please! I think we’re in the CYA part of the investigation:)
sure hope this is true.
lol.
WOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!
only the best peeps.
doj, fbi, cia, sc - all now ‘swamped’ in
beebs is trying to ‘normalise’ that fundie ‘couple’ who chained their own kids.
but, but, … they posted such nice fb ‘family’ photos !!!
white privilege.
I had lunch this weekend with an attorney friend who works on major Dem state issues. I asked her if she thought Mueller’s investigation would amount to something substantive enough to take Trump down. She said she really couldn’t say but she was surprised at how FAST the investigation is going. So while I know most of us are freaked out by how long it’s taking, for something so complex legally, I guess in legal circles it’s moving quickly.
Bannon in the hot seat right now does seem to indicate that the noose is tightening…….
New post.
