I could not post about #MLK Day today.
We so completely failed to manifest his legacy & to honor his terrible sacrifice.
Given the state of the nation, posting a quote with his picture or some trite nonsense was just too utterly blasphemous.

Hoje é o Dia de Martin Luther King Jr., em homenagem à vida e ao legado de uma das figuras mais importantes da história. Líder do movimento pelos direitos civis nas décadas de 1950 e 1960, a filosofia de luta não violenta de King abriu caminho para mudanças duradouras e continua a inspirar pessoas em todo o mundo.

"[America] loves him dead because dead men don’t organize. Dead men don’t shut down streets. Dead men don’t boycott, don’t strike, don’t disrupt, and don’t demand redistribution of wealth. Dead men don’t call out Empire and don’t name white supremacy. Dead men don’t link racism to capitalism and militarism in the same damn breath."
A sermon for the ages right here. And most definitely for RIGHT NOW.
