“The only non-perishable is the food for thought”

[Jordan Zakarin @jordanzakarin]

The Paramout surrender is a perfect distillation of Democratic politics:

1. Talk a big game
2. Fold despite having legal leverage and public opinion on their side
3. Empower conservative oligarchs who hate working people.

Great message to send right before the elections!

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore the opportunity to perform with Ed Sheeran is they are willing to collude. They are openly colluding.

When we filed the grievance, it was like, well, the owners wouldn’t do that. Everybody just wants to win within the NFL. And the realization is, no. They want to protect their interests. They want to protect their power. They want to protect their money. And they also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you. And that was some of the warning coming out of the protest and some of the warning coming out of the grievance, is that they will organize against you. Which means that we collectively have to organize to be able to protect our interests as well.

"We should all want to live in a society where everyone feels safe, everyone feels like they have the opportunity to thrive." Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback @Kaepernick7 reflects on taking a knee during the national anthem and discusses the response to his act of protest in his new memoir, 'The Perilous Fight.'

Let's give Lauren Underwood the same energy we've given Jasmine Crockett. Underwood passes bills, flipped a red district blue, and is simply DOPE.

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

Jasmine Crockett just wants to be an influencer and to be famous. Just go ahead and pivot into that world and leave politics be. Ain’t none of this for the benefit or betterment of people’s daily lives. This is about her as an individual.

Atlanta really a crazy central location.
4 hours from Nashville.
4 hours from Charlotte.
4 hours from Huntsville.
4 hours from Savannah.
4 hours from the border of Florida.
Atlanta 1 of those cities that needs to push for a high speed rail line instead of data centers.

You win four golds in Hitler's own backyard.
You come home a hero.
You still cannot eat at the hotel that is throwing your parade.

That was 1936. That was America.

One thing about scammers…they be some HARD workers. The dedication, creativity, planning, persistence, and HOURS they put into figuring out how to scam people out of their money is crazy. Like damn…if y’all put those same work ethics into doing something LEGAL, imagine how successful y’all could be! 😂😂

Shout out KEITH LEE for caring for the Black community of GARY, INDIANA. Michael Jackson’s home town.

Still Insane he had to be the one to do this

Did Hasan Piker meet with Jared Kushner? No that was Hakeem Jeffries.

Did Hasan Piker platform Steve Bannon on his show? No that was Gavin Newsom.

Democratic leadership is unserious about stopping fascism. They know it and now with week 40 of Hasan Piker distraction, we know it

[Terrell The Leftist🌹✊🏾 @TerrellLeftist]

“First Black Speaker of the House” sounds like you’re putting a whole lot of weight behind that, and maybe years ago that would’ve been enough to move a lot of us. But people are struggling too damn hard for symbolism to be the selling point anymore.

Representation matters, but representation does not pay the rent, lower grocery prices, cover medical bills, raise wages, or make life affordable.

Y’all have allowed economic hardship to get so bad that people are past celebrating “the first Black” or “the first” anything while they’re drowning financially. We don’t need another historic milestone used as a substitute for material change. We need Democrats to fix this shit so people can afford to live.

After a thunderstorm last night, 100,000 households in Memphis are without power - possibly until Thursday. It’s 90 degrees outside.

Another majority Black, working class city left in the dark.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

NEW: Tens of thousands in Northwest Indiana have gone more than nine days without power. Schools are closed. Families are lining up for food and living in “survival mode.”

In America in 2026, that is a national emergency. It should be front-page news.
