Every 2 weeks, I set up a stool in the kitchen to give my son a haircut. Today before I really got started, he had his eyes closed and was smiling softly to himself. As I combed out his curls, I ask why he is smiling. He said it's because he just likes it when I do his hair. 😍

"Can you put a design in my hair, mommy?"

"Sure, what do you want?"

"I want a heart for love."

"Of course, kiddo."

Thank you Dr. King for inspiring many generations of young activists. On this #MLKDay, I encourage us all to listen to the Black community, uplift their voices, celebrate their achievements, and lend support in the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality.

Now that could be a slippery slope. 🙂

(did I just say that?)

"What about Biden's documents" is the new "what about her emails."

Same story. Same playbook.

@georgetakei Well last time I think it resulted into marching into Poland. But maybe I am too pessimistic.

"A recognition that America is a nation with generations of institutional, systematic oppression of non-white racial minorities and that we should do something to address it" happens to be nearly the exact words used by Ron DeSantis' attorneys when asked in court to define this "woke" thing he and they believe needs to be outlawed and forbidden from being discussed in education and in public.

They'd have labeled Dr. King as a "woke" enemy to far-right Republicanism.

This weekend the birth of Dr. King is rightfully celebrated as many (even if only superficially) reflect on his legacy.

Still, I can’t help but also think of the lesser known, but incredibly impressive, leaders of the black liberation struggle of the 1960s.

One woman in particular...

7. 🧵

Fannie Lou Hamer – best known for her famous line “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired” – doesn’t get the attention of MLK.

But, I promise you if he were still alive today, Dr. King would remind us to never forget that woman and the example she embodied …
