To participate in Birmingham marches, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "required" marchers to sign a "Commitment Card" pledging themselves to the nonviolent movement. As America approaches a weekend of protest, these are good to keep in mind. I will do so at the DC parade on Saturday. (🧵 1/5)

Photo of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Commitment Card" that he had Birmingham marchers sign, pledging themselves to the nonviolent movement.

The text:

I HEREBY PLEDGE MYSELF—MY PERSON AND BODY—TO THE NONVIOLENT MOVEMENT. THEREFORE I WILL KEEP THE FOLLOWING TEN COMMANDMENTS:

1. MEDITATE daily on the teachings and life of Jesus.

2. REMEMBER always that the nonviolent movement in Birmingham seeks justice and reconciliation—not victory.

3. WALK and TALK in the manner of love, for God is love.

4. PRAY daily to be used by God in order that all men might be free.

5. SACRIFICE personal wishes in order that all men might be free.

6. OBSERVE with both friend and foe the ordinary rules of courtesy.

7. SEEK to perform regular service for others and for the world.

8. REFRAIN from the violence of fist, tongue, or heart.

9. STRIVE to be in good spiritual and bodily health.

10. FOLLOW the directions of the movement and of the captain on a demonstration.

I sign this pledge, having seriously considered what I do and with the determination and will to persevere.

Here is the thought-provoking article that the wonderful @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social wrote that got her FB account disabled. In it she calls for nonviolent responses to what the current regime is doing in LA, while calling out the violence. This doesn’t meet “Community Guidelines?” U be the judge

I couldn’t get to any local “No Kings Day Of Action” Protests today, so instead I posted my signs roadside in front of my house. #nokings #GoodTroubleNecessaryTrouble

Sign that reads “Nevertheless We The People Resist!”

Sign with drawn image of 1940’s Uncle Sam kicking a box off a boat. The box says “Trump Tarriffs” and on top of the box are cartoon images of Musk, Trump and Vance. The large text on the sign reads: “Party like it’s 1773” which is the year of the Boston Tea Party.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

I'll be even more blunt here: this administration seeks to destroy U.S. civil society and obliterate nonprofits providing direct services to the community. We must fight back together. Or perish separately.

Fun fact: if you start the Eras Tour Movie at 10:27am on Monday, Taylor will be singing “F*** the patriarchy” at noon. Do with that info as you will.

My heart is so heavy for those impacted by the LA fires. This seems to be foreshadowing what it will be like for all of us under the incoming administration…

Nobody should assume that the absence of any Senate or House objections based on the President-elect’s disqualification under Sec 3 of Am 14 means that a majority of those certifying his election actually believed he met the Constitution’s requirements. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...
