“Peace is what the powerful ask for when they don’t want to be interrupted,” Matt Moberg wrote in a short piece that went viral on social media, adding: “Unity that refuses to name violence is just loyalty to the ones holding the weapons.”

From my blog, an amazing music centered experience. A single .XM track I leeched from a LAN party or some such decades ago, a recent discovery "hidden" in that same file, resulting with a connection with the artist.

This is one of those things that reminds me that the world isn't all shit.

Today we remember MLK Jr’s warnings before his assassination. It was not the Klansmen he warned about, but the moderate who stays complacent.

Newly Unveiled Photos of #MLKJr. Show Depth of #NYPD’s #Surveillance

Excerpt: "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."
