Text: Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King.
Bless this man
THE PIN!!!!!!!
OMG PIN!!!!
fucking hero.
Cory, you managed to break a racist record, do it while making a powerful speech about justice, disrupt the gears of white supremacy and fascism in a nonviolent but still incredibly visible way, and remind the people of the importance of freedom for *all* people including jews?
MLK would be so fucking proud of you carrying on his legacy this well.
For anyone keeping up with the Stranger Things "secret good finale" conspiracy (yes, it is just the Sherlock "secret good episode" thing with a new show.) the current theory is that tomorrow, in place of SNL, the actual finale of Stranger Things will air. They are presenting this as something plausible, and not something that Lorne Michaels would have beaten the Duffer Brothers to death over if they even suggested it.
The stranger things finale is going to drop on Martin Luther King Jr Day because Stranger Things embodies the values of MLK

Close enough. Welcome back Johnlock truthers!
The subreddit also has a 60 page masterdoc of all their evidence, if anyone wants to archive that for the inevitable youtube video that's going to be made.
we poppin the BIGGEST bottles when Secret Good Finale happens in half an hour!
Okay I kinda assumed that they might try to turn Charlie Kirk into a martyr but seriously what the fuck
Here's a list of real things that have happened in the past 2 days:
Anonymous asked:
Jim Jones being as progressive he was is still shocking to me every time some factoid comes up. What ego, paranoia, and madness does to a self serving evil bastard.

Being the one person catering to people who are usually excluded is powerful.
Y'all, cult leaders specifically target social outcasts. That's not progressivism; it's hunting for easy marks who'll kill for someone who makes them feel valued and cherished.
Btw, I don't want to hear anyone claim that Jim Jones was a progressive unless and until they've actually listened to the tapes. I have, as part of a research project, and let me tell you, they paint a very different picture. Jim Jones's wife will be talking about how he'd walk out of a barbershop with half a haircut over the barber refusing to serve Black patrons... and then she'll immediately transition into a scripted narrative about how the biggest problem facing Black Americans is actually the fact that Jim Jones isn't able to collect his followers' social security checks in Guyana. Jim Jones himself gives long, meandering speeches about sexual repression and rape culture, and then he turns around and accuses all Black women who have ever claimed to have been raped by Black men of being paid operatives trying to discredit the Civil Rights Movement. He compares himself to MLK, Malcolm X, Huey Newton, and others... only to undercut all of them and self-aggrandize by claiming to have inspired them to the cause, cured them and their mothers of cancer, foretold their downfalls, lived a purer life than them and have been more unfairly persecuted by them, etc. etc. etc. He borrows AAVE affectations without actually understanding AAVE grammar. He jokes about physical and sexual abuse, and then turns around and claims that he takes every accusation completely seriously. He employs racist stereotypes whenever it's convenient, then backs out of it and claims that he would never when it isn't. And on and on and on. Jim Jones exemplifies the banality of evil – he brutally exploited and murdered a predominantly Black congregation, and as women and children were literally crying and screaming in the background as they were forced to drink cyanide, he calmly, tiredly asked his murder victims to stop being "hysterical".
