Senator Tim Kaine @kaine.senate.gov

62 years ago today, Dr. King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington. Dr. King’s words continue to inspire me, especially as Trump works to roll back the progress we’ve made. It is up to all of us to protect, uphold, and advance his dream for our nation.

Dr. King stands in front of a podium with multiple microphones, delivering his speech in Washington.

An invocation of a watershed Civil Rights event in DC without any mention of the current military and paramilitary occupation of it. You are a pathetic putz, Senator Kaine, draping yourself in other people’s heroism to conceal your own cowardice.

The DEI policies you support are abhorrent to the memory of MLK in that they are based wholly on race as the primary determining factor. Literally Jim Crow in action again.

Some gentle words praising MLK is peanuts, my guy. Why are you not on the news trying to get into these secretive buildings where they detain Americans before they disappear? Why haven't you risked arrest trying to stand up for us? What are you doing about the National Guard being sent to Virginia??

So what are you doing about the military takeover of DC. What are you doing about the Epstein files.

Thank you. Now, what are you proposing? What rousing speech are you going to give and how will you follow through on any momentum it gives?

I was 16. We lived in Annandale and i wanted to take the bus downtown for speech but Mom was afraid of violence, said no. One of my life's huge regrets.
