Donald Trump Shouldn't Even Speak or Type Martin Luther King's Name

For starters, over the weekend, Donald Trump spent days attacking civil rights hero John Lewis, then saying he was going to the African-American History Museum/cancelling plans to go to the African-American History Museum/totally never actually having any plans to visit the African-American History Museum in the first place.

But today is not the day to speak of that garbage goblin. A great way to truly honor Martin Luther King, Jr. today is to spend some time on Broderick Greer’s Twitter.

How did King's radical politics mutate into calls for genteel volunteerism?

Never forget that "calls for unity" can silence calls for reparations, justice, and actual peace. #reclaimMLK

We must #reclaimMLK from narratives that sentimentalize, infantilize, and fetishize his radical nature.

The drama among the YOUTHS continues. Bella Hadid posted a picture of her middle finger while Selena Gomez was all “I barely even know these strangers” and we were all “whaaaaaa?” and in a related story it’s kind of a slow news day, celeb-wise. (Dlisted)
