Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Comrade King was a Democratic Socialist reverend who fulfilled a critical role in bringing about many civil rights for minority Americans.
Despite being bullied by the FBI into denouncing communism, he still openly associated with communists and labor organizers. Dr. King additionally opposed American imperialism in Vietnam.
Dr. King's last book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? (libgen link) is a firmly anti-capitalist work that advocates for the better treatment of impoverished Americans through radical policies.
Here's an audio recording of King's last speech. Here's the timestamp for the last two minutes of it if you're a lib.
King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail is mandatory reading for the honky horde, and it is perfect to quote and reference when engaging with lib brained racists.
And, because King was a Christian minister, it seems only right to bring up something biblical. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is a very relevant part of King's politics, so it can be read here in Matthew chapters 5 to 7.

I have like 5 assignments in one class and a paper in another and then im done with the 1st semester but im so tired i cant even make myself do it oh my god. also vague worry about what will happen in the next 72 hours post and during and after inauguration. my nice but lib therapist was getting all excited about all the stuff that going to happen to Trump as soon as he isnt shielded by the presidency and i was just full of dread lol. nothing is going to happen, most things will not get better, and overall everything sucks and will for a while.
end of semester work is always the most excruciating i swear
Yeah it’s fucking grating. That feeling when it’s full complete and you can kick back is 100% fucking amazing though.
