      In April 1963, MLK Jr. writes a letter while in jail.

      I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

      What facts?

      Gavin Newsom repealing a trans care bill? Throwing them under the bus? Being bloodthirsty warmongers? How is this not on the side of evil??

        But they’re very civil about their evil. The other guys will come right out and say the slurs in public instead of keeping them in the back rooms where the deals get made like JFK intended.
