Bernice King, daughter of Civil Rights activists Coretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., posted on her Facebook page 10 steps to deal with Trump and take back our democratic government. Share this with anyone interested in moving forward progressively. 1. Don’t use his name; EVER (45 will do) 2. Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him–it doesn’t work; 4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow; 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; and 10. Resist! Stay informed. Stay vigilant. #StayWokeHK #resist #shepersisted

Cut, paste, share. If you decide to join an airport protest, please remember that Federal, Department of Homeland Security enforcement are in place at our airports. This means, if you are detained, you will likely be held without recourse to an attorney and can be transferred and held indefinitely. Please make sure your people know to look for you and do regular check ins with them. Immigration attorneys advise that only US Citizens can participate without grave risk. If you are a US citizen, this is one way for you to leverage your privilege to help those with less. Legal Advice: Do not go to the airport if you are not a US citizen, even if you have a green card or work visa. There is a need for Arabic and Farsi speakers at all airports but check to make sure that you go to the International terminal. If you are detained, you should not answer any questions until there is an attorney present; there are attorneys at all of the major airports. In addition, do not sign anything until you have an attorney present.

"What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb but the darkness of the womb? What if our America is not dead but is a country that is waiting to be born? What if the story of America is one long labor? What if this is our ancestors whispering in our ears “you are brave.” What if this is our nation's great transition? What does the midwife tell us to do? “Breath!” And then “Push!” Because if we don’t push, we will die. Our nation will die. Tonight we will breathe. Tomorrow we will labor in love, through love, and your revolutionary love is the magic we will show our children.” Valarie Kaur Stay informed. Stay vigilant. #StayWokeHK

The Army general who has lead the D.C. National Guard since 2008, and has played a significant role in overseeing the upcoming presidential inauguration, will be removed from his command at 12:01 p.m. Jan. 20, the EXACT moment Donald Trump is sworn in as president. This is literally going to happen in the middle of the inauguration, and it was ENTIRELY Trump's decision to do so. Source: http://wapo.st/2iQgIQx Stay informed. Stay vigilant. #StayWokeHK

Agreed (quote edited). Stay informed. Stay vigilant. #StayWokeHK "This country does not need me to speak out on crimes committed by black folk because nobody in this country is held more responsible for the crimes they commit, and even the crimes they don’t commit, than black folk in America. I speak out on injustice. What happened to this man in Chicago was terrible. It was criminal. I hate it, but guess what — justice was swift. It was miraculously swift. You know who’s not in jail right now? The two white men in Chicago who recently lured a mentally challenged black student into a locker room and rammed a hanger up his rectum. We march for them. We protest for them. I write about them and Facebook and tweet about them — because justice has not been served. It almost never is. Just Tuesday, a video surfaced of a police officer in a North Carolina high school slamming a petite 15-year-old black girl so hard on her head that he gave her a concussion. Do you think he’s in jail? Nah. He’s on paid leave. As I type, the top trending topic in the country is now #BLMKidnapping. BLM stands for Black Lives Matter. The people in the video never even suggested such a thing. The Black Lives Matter Movement has never advocated such a thing. I have never advocated such a thing. What we are witnessing here is that fact that when particular African-Americans commit a crime, many whites use the crime to cast dispersions and stereotype all black folk. It’s a ridiculous double standard rooted in racism and oppression." Shaun King - http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-don-chicago-white-assault-case-blm-movement-article-1.2935825
