From my blog, an amazing music centered experience. A single .XM track I leeched from a LAN party or some such decades ago, a recent discovery "hidden" in that same file, resulting with a connection with the artist.
This is one of those things that reminds me that the world isn't all shit.

Today we remember MLK Jr’s warnings before his assassination. It was not the Klansmen he warned about, but the moderate who stays complacent.

Newly Unveiled Photos of #MLKJr. Show Depth of #NYPD’s #Surveillance
By Joshua Clark Davis
Nov 29, 2025Excerpt: "Just as Donald Trump demonizes leftist organizers today as #DomesticTerrorists, both federal officials and local police in the South and North condemned civil rights activists as #rioters and #insurrectionists. Just as Trump falsely disparaged Zohran Mamdani as a communist in recent months (before opting not to repeat the charges in a surprisingly friendly meeting with the mayor-elect in the Oval Office), Southern officials slandered King as a communist. And just as Trump’s Justice Department is indicting his political enemies on legally specious mortgage fraud charges, state officials in #Alabama unsuccessfully indicted King on #felony criminal charges for income tax perjury in 1960.
"But the NYPD — nor any other local police department — did not need to wait for encouragement from the feds to spy on King and his allies. A common misperception is that local police were content with physically assaulting protesters while leaving the sophisticated work of surveillance and slander to Hoover’s FBI. But police were far more experienced in spying on and sabotaging activists than we have acknowledged — so much so that the FBI’s notorious #COINTELPRO program against '#BlackExtremists,' launched in August 1967, should be recognized for federalizing efforts that local police departments had already undertaken to disrupt the #CivilRightsMovement."

From MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail:
"Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured."
An apt description of #BlackTwitter and #BlackMastodon - this is exactly what black folks have used social media from my personal observance.
But also why we must protest when injustice is abroad amongst us and our neighbors.

Happy that the #MLKDay events in #SantaBarbara today had a strong turn out (and a strong presence from fellow #FreeMethodist people).

“Dr. King was not easy.”
MLK Jr. clashed with our systems of oppression. He demanded change. His courage stands in stark contrast with the cowardice of people like Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, the guy in the White House, ICE agents who can’t even handle teasing by a couple of women.

On this holiday we remember a man who organized for the sake of all working people. So much respect. I hope you’ll take up the baton.
