Apple Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Apple has updated the home page of its website to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today. The page highlights some of King's most impactful quotes, and invites people to explore his legacy further through the Apple Books and Apple News apps.

Apple 2025 MLK Day
Apple CEO Tim Cook also honored King in a social media post today.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. As a result of this federal holiday, along with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration later today, it is likely to be a slower day for Apple-related product news. Cook will reportedly be in attendance at Trump's inauguration, alongside many other high-profile CEOs.

On the day we honour a true American hero that worked for justice and freedom for all people,
We swear into office a man and a party that has as their stated goal of tearing down what King began and so many of us have worked for.
It is appropriate that today is Blue Monday.

Nice gesture, but it still doesn't change the fact that Tim donated a million to a fascist

Here some inspirational quotes for next year:

“White Americans must recognize that justice for black people cannot be achieved without radical changes in the structure of our society.”

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”

It seems history is correcting itself for the many great people America has produced in the past by dropping big t*rds
As a European, I'm absolutely amazed at what's going on in the US. And I worry deeply for the Ukrainians and Palestinians.
