Follow the ghost of Clinton Moore, an avatar of real life murdered gay Black Mississippi attorney Cleve McDowell. The Plan unravels a murder—linking the #MLK, #RFK & #JFK assassinations to domestic surveillance, covert ops, and authoritarian export. Klopfer documented US intel abroad; her 2015 death after Quito embassy contact hints at silencing. She aimed for a trilogy, exposing repression‑policy violence through historical fiction. #SusanKlopferTruth #Introduction https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781544546698-the-plan[;

@RnDanger Sex segregation is no different from racist segregation. They invent spooks like "Spiritual Race" & "Gender", invent bogus biological categories like "Biological Race" & "Biological Sex" to ground spooks "scientifically", & then they say "people of different races/sexes mustn't associate!" Down with Man & Woman! Down with Patriarchy! Down with Segregation! Down with Spooks! Martin Luther King talks about how we should judge people based on character rather than on skin color, & I say this about sex characteristics or any superficial traits. Aristotle talks about the fallacy of accident, where a general rule like "Women have lower testosterone & thus are worse on average at certain sports" is applied to an exceptional case like "Woman with higher testosterone than 99% of men". Sex is a spook. Real biology is in constant flow & people have a different biological sex every moment if a rigorous definition rather than a mystical definition is used. In those who step on the same person, different & different sex characteristics flow, much like Heraclitus' river. No one has the same hormone levels twice, & hormone levels also vary from place to place even in the body. #genderstudies #aristotle #mlk #sports #trans #sexism #misogyny #misandry #philosophy

🛑 #EndRacism #TheOtherAmerica
🗣️ “…and we must realize that the time is always right to do right.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., The Other America, 1967
🚨 Yesterday’s Reuters photo of a young Black woman sitting alone on the D.C. Metro, surrounded by masked white nationalists, is more than an image. It’s a warning. Silence is never neutral. It creates space for extremism to move unchallenged through our public life.
👉🏽 Our children and teens see these images. They’re learning from what we tolerate and from what we challenge.
🇺🇸 This is bigger than today. It’s about the future of our democracy, our communities, and our shared humanity.
Do right. Speak up. Vote.🗳️

Song: Share Your Cocoon
The following song was written as a collective exercise by 25 youth at a Martin Luther King, Jr. Retreat I led January 16, 1995.
God tells us to love everyone.
Turn the other cheek.
God tells us to love everyone.
Turn the other cheek.Share your cocoon.
Let God work through you.
No one’s beyond redemption.God tells us to love everyone.
Turn the other cheek.
God tells us to love everyone.
Turn the other cheek.Share your cocoon.

“If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be working so hard to take it away,” Sewell said. “We are not going back. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever... We will march, we will fight, we will organize, and we will vote until victory is won.”

@nm thanks for sharing. i skimmed your text:
> A philosophy against suffering cannot [...] build liberation through cruelty or peace through domination. If it does, then whatever purity it once had is gone.
without speaking about the specific incident, that made you write this post, i think there is a problem with this purity culture of #nonviolence. internally or externally, it pushes everyone to condemn the kirk shooter, to condemn hamas, and – as #MargaretKilljoy did repeatedly on her #podcast – to condemn animal liberation protesters. i'll link to that last one (as an example of what i dislike, even though it's by self-described "vegan" "anarchist" )
but — !
#racism is #politicalviolence.
#zionism is #politicalviolence.
#speciecism is #politicalviolence.
and all of these oppressive ideologies have killed and are killing disproportionately many
more people.if we condemn these acts of so-called #politicalviolence towards oppressors and demand "peace", let's be careful that we're not asking for that #negativepeace, which #MLK describes all to clearly in his #LetterFromBirminghamJail.

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@susurros/116477625689935422
We have a formal, collective obligation under international law to intervene to prevent the crime of #genocide
When our societies consistently & repeatedly FAIL TO MEET that formal obligation (instead, in fact, serving enthusiastically as #GenocidesBodyguards), I would have to acknowledge some legitimacy to an argument that individuals who recognize that failure inherit an obligation to act to do so themselves.
When that action escalates to violence against persons who are noncombatants (a.k.a., terrorism) it is rightly viewed to have crossed a line to which extra criminal penalties should attach--although the individuals may be happy TO ACCEPT those penalties owing to the moral weight attached to their obligation.
But in cases like this, where that action escalates solely to violence AGAINST PROPERTY, our American tradition of protest has typically balanced the need for the law to recognize that a crime has occurred WITH some weight given, in mitigation, to a credible argument that the violence was committed to strike a blow against injustice, when mere speech has long gone unheard by the oppressor (e.g., rioting during the Civil Rights movement, as recognized by #MLK in his speech, "The Other America").
I would suggest that this is the standard that justice demands be applied here--and emphatically NOT the one that INCREASES penalties in crimes against persons.

Not a quote for inspiration. A standard to meet. Martin Luther King Jr. named the truth, demanded justice and forced a nation and each one of us to answer. The question is whether we will. #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #Justice #HumanRights #CivilRights #MoralCourage #FreedomIsntFree
