@nhannahjones MLK speech, below, should be required reading every MLK day. Should be published in every newspaper in the land. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King".

I have followed Omer Bartov’s personal and scholarly journey to this statement since shortly after October 7th, 2023. This multifaceted analysis of Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza and their implications for our global future is a must read.

Here’s a good question—.
Do I have this right? In 2016, Kerr Co looked into installing a $1M flood warning sys & decided it cost too much. They repeatedly asked the state for help but TX only offered $50K. Then in '21 the Biden admin gave them $10M to use on anything, & they spent it all on the police?.
