Still thinking about how the Travis county gop had the gall to tweet that a good way to celebrate MLK day is by helping to make the lives of people living in extreme poverty even harder.

It’s either cluelessness or cruelty. Maybe a little bit of both. It’s definitely cruelty, as always, but the absolute ignorance of MLK’s actual movement, especially toward the end of his life, is so glaring that it almost feels like trolling.

A good thread about how MLK’s movement grew to focus on capitalism as one of the primary causes of racial inequity in America. (White supremacy, of course, being the other promises cause.) https://twitter.com/kendrawrites/status/1351188515179147267
