On this anniversary of MLK’s most well known speech, it’s sad @AllenWest would go to this extreme to argue that Christianity is only about individual salvation & has nothing to say to society about justice, health care & breaking systems of poverty.
His arguments sound like the preachers & politicians who argued against Dr. King & those who challenged Jim Crow. As an evangelical, Prayerfully & in love, I want to challenge you, @ralphreed & others to read the Bible & some solid books on theology. fortresspress.com/product/libera…
Dr. King also left us a clear call to a #RevolutionOfValues that centers racism, poverty, peace & the well-being of creation as moral issues. amazon.com/Where-Do-We-He…

If conservatives want to disavow racism they must reject policies that have a disparate impact on people of color. #PoorPeoplesCampaign has written @GOP to request an opportunity to present our analysis of 5 interlocking injustices. We’re ready. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
If GOP wants to separate itself from Trump, McConnell should join Pelosi & demand Trump stop attacks on immigrants, pass immigration reform, restore the VRA, make just policies toward Native Americans, & support living wages & health care—all of which impact people of color.
And stop callling every program that helps people “socialism”—a scare word that’s been used in racist ways to attack black leadership for years.

Pastor John Hagee said before Trump, judges were being appointed slowly. Not true. McConnell blocked Obama nominees.
Hagee says socialists are anti-God. Truth is, the Bible says nations that don’t care for poor, sick, hungry & immigrants will face judgement.
Those he supports give tax cuts to the greedy, but he dosent say anything. Yet he speaks out against health care for all.

On this #MLKDay, don't just tweet famous quotes & then go on about your day. I ask that you live in #MLK's spirit and live out his words. Work to help those that are oppressed, to help those in need. Work to eliminate racism in all its forms. Be kind. Be just. #IHaveADream
#MLK's #IHaveADream speech:
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. #MLK

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.

A thread of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #MLK50Forward
“This problem of spiritual and moral lag, which constitutes modern man's chief dilemma, expresses itself in three larger problems which grow out of man's ethical infantilism.” From #MLK’s Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, ‘The Quest for Peace and Justice’ #MLKDay
“It's more difficult today because we are struggling now for genuine equality. And it's much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee a livable income and a good solid job.” From ‘The Other America.’ #MLK #MLKDay #MLK50Forward
