Happy Martin Luther King Day! May this day serve to remind us of 1) the power of the people to change living, working, economic, cultural, etc. conditions; 2) the right of the people to push back against those in power, the local/regional/national government, and any other entity or entities that cause the undesired state of affairs to endure; 3) the lengths the state and those in power will go to maintain the status quo.
And if you’re not already out shopping or something, why not take a moment find a cause you believe in and sign a petition or write your congressperson, or maybe make up a placard, join a parade, and make joyful noises up and down in front of some symbol of whatever thing you most despise about this world.
