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."

The annual MLK Jr. Day is a reminder that we've been in this shared fight for a long time now.
"Again, we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor both Black and white, both here and abroad."

#BostonWeekend 9/x Fri-Sun THEATRE Stokely and Martin
Najee A. Brown’s play dramatizes the complex relationship between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the more radical activist Stokely Carmichael, portraying the fullness of both men’s personalities alongside their political differences. While the conversations may be imagined, their stakes continue to reverberate in today’s discourses.
$30, Friday through Sunday, January 16-18, Multicultural Arts Center, 41 Second St., Cambridge https://secure.multiculturalartscenter.org/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents%2F22761

I have a dream
That was Martin Luther King speaking in 1963. Today, there is a serious lack of a movement like the one that existed back then, even though it is so badly needed. None of the dreams of that time have come true in their entirety, but at least some of them have.
But under Trump and all his right-wing and far-right government leaders, any modest progress is being crushed with all possible force. Those who do not submit humbly lose their livelihoods and, in many cases, even their lives.
It seems to me that today we are once again lacking a dream! But all too often we also lack the courage and determination to turn that dream into a living reality.
But they do exist, these courageous people, young and old, women, men, LGBTQIA+, all over the world. And there need to be more of them; we need to step out of our comfort zones.
"With this faith we will be able to work together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together" (M.L. King jr.)

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor” – Desmond Tutu
“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented” – Elie Wiesel
“Washing one’s hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral ” – Paulo Freire
“The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict…[an individual] who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it” – Martin Luther King Jr.

. Releasing dirt on MLK Jr. feels like a low blow using a Black civil rights icon to cover up elites’ darkest secrets? We see the play, and we ain’t having it. #NoMoreDistractions #EpsteinFiles #FBIfiles #MLKjr .

Who else have we erased?
This isn’t just a story about a movement. It’s about who gets remembered, who gets left out, and what it means to love when there is no name for what you are to each other.

#Truth!
On the anniversary of the assassination of #MLKjr, I am contemplating the fact that #Fascists putting targets on the backs of #trans & #Immigrants who protest #Zionist #Genocide has not stopped the #Police from killing innocent #Black folks dailyAnd that until #USians eradicate #antiblackracism in the US, Fascists will have a lever ro reintroduce their hateful ideology, whatever we do now

From the Natl Museum Of African American History And Culture. You must visit this place. It is powerful, voluminous and utterly, utterly necessary. Thank you to Lonnie Bunch, Oprah and all the other donors and Smithsonian for getting this important, invaluable, instructive and impactful museum off the ground and into the world. #mlk #mlkday #mlk95 #nmaahc #dc #museum #mlk #mlkjr #BlackMastodon #Mastodon

A lot of people post on #MLKday as if they would’ve opposed injustice then, all while ignoring or even excusing clear injustice today.

Hawaiian word of the day: kala == forgive. Example sentence: “e kala mai” == “forgive me.” I will take it as an exercise today to translate: “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude” - Martin Luther King Jr. #forgiveness #forgive #mlkjr #martinLutherKingJr #hwotd #hawaiianWordOfTheDay #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #hawaiian

Martin Luther King's The Drum Major Instinct is worth listening to (in full -- not the ones that edit out the uncomfortable statements on racism).
ps. WHY does YouTube have this speech age restricted?!?!

What an honor to be invited to the Johnston County, NC NAACP's celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy and witness the incredible work the people of Johnston County and this state have done. We were also graced with an incredible and eloquent speech by former Mayor of Spring Lake, NC and current President of Barber-Scotia College Chris V. Rey, JD. #martinlutherkingjr #mlkday #mlkjr #mlkdayofservice #johnstoncounty #ncga #nchouse26 #nchouse

#BarackObama is co-producing a biopic about #BayardRustin , who was the chief organizer of the #MarchOnWashington in 1963 and the one who ‘preached’ the strategy of #NonViolentProtest to #MLKjr.

The nation’s oldest Black fraternity, #AlphaPhiAlpha , which lists #MLKjr , WEB DuBois and Thurgood Marshall as alums, has moved its 2025 convention out of #Floriduh.⬇️
At least 12 other conferences have done the same. And I’m sure #chemistry and #science conference planners know to not even bother considering #Florida (or #Texas )!
