“And everything will be revealed,” is a valorization meant to enhance the value of the previous action. Valorizations are a usefult tactic for English learners to master when engaging in persuasive speaking. President Trump is an expert model for persuasive speaking. In this case, the exact meaning of“everything” is ambiguous. What exactly does he mean by “everything?” It could mean something huge, or nothing at all, but it effectively generates interest.

The observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is to reflect on King's fight for equality and freedom for all, and to honor his legacy by giving back. We are holding MLK Day of Service events focused on local communities’ food security, environment, health, and transformation. Read more in the Career Blog!

Today marks a profound moment in United States history. January 20th is both the Presidential Inauguration of President Donald J. Trump and the Federal Holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As we look ahead as a nation, it’s equally important to look back. Below is a link to Robert F. Kennedy’s heartfelt speech announcing the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. While I’ve heard snippets of this speech before, its words carry even greater meaning today. I encourage you to watch the video, but if you don’t, please take a moment to reflect on Robert Kennedy’s powerful closing remarks: “We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we’ve had difficult times in the past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; and it’s not the end of disorder. But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land. And let’s dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people. Thank you very much.” Postscript: This rare overlap of MLK Day and Inauguration Day has happened before—in 1997 during President Clinton’s second term and in 2013 during President Obama’s second term. However, it won’t happen again until 2053—28 years from now. This is due to the fixed date of Inauguration Day (January 20) and the shifting date of MLK Day (the third Monday in January). #mlkday

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Martin Luther King Jr. The inauguration falling on Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a heavy reminder of the challenges ahead. It calls us to deepen our commitment to abolition, to resistance, to community, and to hope–hope that is radical, unshakable, and infinite. Remember that our resistance doesn't begin or end with any one administration. This is an ongoing, multi-generational struggle against the systems of power that marginalize, punish, and separate us. This is the moment to double down on organizing, on mutual aid, on love for each other, and on the belief that we can create a world where all families can thrive.

The right to breathe clean air. The right to eat whole foods that don't promote illness. The right to drink water free of toxins. The right to move through the world not fearing bodily harm. The right to making decisions about and on behalf of what's good for our families. The right to care for our whole person, not merely a single system or ailment. The right to affording wellness instead of of barely affording treatment. 🤎🤍🖤

Today, MLK Day coincides with Inauguration Day, and the timing could not be more fitting. Now, more than ever, we are in dire need of true community. Not community built to: • Increase revenue. • Reduce churn. • Lower the number of support tickets. • Or identify the next product or service to sell. But real community—the kind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned as “The Beloved Community.” A community that enriches our lives. A community that celebrates our joys and successes. A community that shares our burdens. A community where we can all rise together. Building The Beloved Community requires more than policy or business plans. It calls for a profound change in how we live and how we treat one another. It challenges us to reimagine our priorities—not just as individuals but as a collective. “Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Let’s work toward that vision—today and every day.

“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” – Martin Luther King Jr. Understanding the past is essential to building a better, more inclusive future.
