For MLK Day on @letterboxd.social I decided to do a list of essential Civil Rights and Black Liberation movies.
Freedom Now!: a starter pack of 24 films about the Civil Rights Movement and Black liberation • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Robert Daniels recommends 24 films that shed light on the Civil Rights Movement and the ongoing fight for Black liberation in America.

Mr. Calvin still going strong. He's been with us for 14 years. Such a character.

ICE is Trump's SA, his brownshirts, his muscle, his death squads.

We only have 11 days to stop the funding of this.

The bill has to pass on Jan 30 and Republicans need 60 votes in the Senate.

They don't have it.

Use this form to pressure Senate Dems to vote no.
Tell Congress: No More Tax Dollars for ICE & CBP
Urge your representatives to reject more money for ICE detention.

While most of the Pharoahs were entombed with their treasures, it was only the First Dynasty Pharaoh and sons that sacrificed their slaves and advisors to guide them in the Afterlife.
This should explain #Trump's current behavior and what lies ahead for #Miller and company.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
