Today, the United States honors the day as Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, a holiday (third Monday in January). Martin Luther King Jr., renowned for his pivotal role in the civil rights movement, delivered his iconic ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, also known as ‘MLK I Have a Dream’ or the ‘Martin Luther King I Have a Dream Speech,’ on a historic date that remains a cornerstone of inspiration. This speech, often referred to as the ‘Martin Luther King Speech’ or ‘MLK Speech,’ encapsulates King’s vision. The day commemorates the life, work and the achievements of Martin Luther King, Jr. A Baptist minister who advocated the use of nonviolent means to end racial segregation, he first came to national prominence during a bus boycott by African Americans in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. He founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957 and led the 1963 March on Washington. The most influential of African American civil rights leaders during the 1960s, he was instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in public accommodations, facilities, and employment, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is celebrated on Monday, January 17, 2022.

Asian America is not monolithic

BEWARE OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA - The New York Times, CNN, BBC, and Sky News, faced backlash over alleged misrepresentation of violent incidents in Amsterdam this past weekend as Antisemitic. What began as a soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax spiraled into widespread unrest across the city, with reports of violence, anti-Arab racism, and anti-Semitic incidents.
Eyewitness accounts and footage captured by Dutch photographer Anette de Graaf revealed Maccabi supporters engaged in violent and racially charged actions, including chanting slogans such as “death to the Arabs,” attacking a local taxi driver, and burning a Palestinian flag.
The misrepresented video had spread so fast even to the White House prompting a tweet from U.S. President Joe Biden condemning anti-Semitism in Amsterdam, which also failed to acknowledge the violence by Maccabi fans. Such omissions, feed a broader trend where media and political narratives seem to prioritize certain communities’ suffering over others.

As Americans process Donald Trump’s return to power, it’s hard not to view this as the collapse of the Democratic Party as we once knew it. It wasn’t just an electoral defeat; it was an implosion. The results of this election reveal a harsh truth for the Democratic Party: it has lost its way. Donald Trump’s win over Kamala Harris isn’t simply a matter of campaign tactics or swing-state numbers; it’s a symptom of deep-rooted issues that have plagued the Democrats for decades. This isn’t just another political defeat—it’s a full-scale collapse of the Democratic Party’s mission and its connection to the people it claims to represent. Ralph Nader shares his opinion...

TANTV’s CEO pens an op-ed advising the Democratic Party to revamp this loss into a movement. “I believe Kamala Harris’ next act should be a crusader for the Democratic Party. If her campaign continues regardless of this loss and she stays to be the candidate for the next election, she has a higher chance of winning! Her campaign for re-election must begin right away!

The Republicans continue to play the long game, remaining unshaken in standing by an unthinkable candidate. Kamala had only 100 days to run a campaign and she did outstandingly well given the duration. However, the Democratic party must not be fickle and reactive given this loss. They must continue this movement and show citizens that voted for her and Americans at large, that the FIGHT continues!”
