Martin Luther King was a well-known activist for Black peoples’ and worker’s rights. After many years of fighting racism and oppression from the establishment, he shared insights on some of his findings of the unjust opposition to rightful change, which may surprise a few of us who are still learning about his figure:...
And here we are 62 years after Letter From A Birmingham Jail fighting the same fights and having the same conversations about income inequality, racism, and basic human rights.

With these words Biden addressed the bitter irony that haunted the commemoration ceremonies. While D-Day occurred eight decades ago, America is now just five months from an election that could bring to power a man and a movement who embody and celebrate the twisted authoritarian values of the enemies we sought to defeat so long...
I know things will be rough in the beginning. But something’s gotta give, this whole red fascist vs blue fascist thing isn’t working out for the working class. We are having the exact same conversations about wages housing, healthcare, education, etc for decades. These were the same issues MLK was fighting for 60 years ago. And we’ve gotten nowhere because white liberals, who he said was the largest stumbling block towards freedom, are too afraid to upset the apple cart. They are afraid of losing THEIR privilege to gain the rights of others

You are already a second class citizen to the US government. In this country you either have money or you dont. Anyone without it is treated as a second class citizen, and has no representation in government.
The thing is republicans dont have to cheat, the blue wing of fascism gives them everything they want. In rhetoric they are Pelosi ripping up her copy of Trumps SOTU, In action that very same day she gave him his requested military budget and threw in a few billion extra for good measure.
I understand how elections work, I also understand that voters have zero impact on policy or legislation. Thats a privilege reserved for the monied class.
