And whitewashes the fact that the vast majority of white Americans at the time HATED MLK Jr 😒

“People forget that in a 1967 poll, King was among the most hated men in America, with a 75 percent negative approval rating.”

As a currently homeless, severely disabled & chronically ill woman (with a disabled cat) I really wish more people would not only share & absorb all of this, but help DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! 🆘

(You might think just a few dollars seems insignificant, *but it’s not to us* ‼️)

Donia and her kitty Monkey are both disabled, living in a motel room with very little privacy. She's a multi talented artist, who has great items in her shop! Give them a look, or leave a tip today!

I suggest buying directly from the artists / makers themselves.

I sold on Etsy for years until they went public & started skewering actual artists in favor of drop-shippers lying about being “handmade” while selling at handmade prices & Etsy making BANK bc they have instant turnaround/inventory! 😑

All true, but please don’t forget about independent artists who have no employees & rely on people buying thoughtful, handmade gifts to survive 🙏

Thank you for sharing 🙏

Donia is another wonderful disabled creator! Currently she's living in a motel with her disabled kitty Monkey.

They could really use some support, any little bit help keep a roof over her and Monkey's heads, and helps secure food and medicine 💕💸

Yes, but it’s important to note that he said he “had the flu” around the same time… and Covid is known to cause strokes, etc in younger people than ever. He was traveling around the country performing to maskless crowds. Everyone wants to believe “the pandemic is over” but it never ended. #WearAMask

WHAT

This is why ppl need to stop using that framing - “if they only went after real criminals” “if they just did their jobs properly instead of evilly” “if…” NO. The entire system is & always has been corrupt. Racialized ppl are targeted every step of the way - from the moment 🇺🇸 exploits their country.

Yes! I sang in choirs since age 6 all over the world (symphonic choirs are my absolute favorite) & miss singing & dancing SO MUCH.

Here’s one of the few vids I have from just before my body gave out (I’d already been sick for decades w/o knowing what was wrong) #Disability

Aww, are you still able to make any art yourself? (I can only knit & crochet occasionally from bed & sometimes make jewelry from bed when I have any stamina 💔)

Thank you so much - not only for saying, but for taking the time to look at my work 🙏

Right??! 💔😒

Yeah, it’s rough out here 💔

I’m still short $65 💔
