I am excited to announce that I will be joining @HarvardSoc as a Ph.D. in Sociology. I’ve been blessed with a host of friends, family, and mentors that have made this opportunity possible and I’m ready to get after it in the fall!

you guys are arguing before scotus right now that your own top goal scorer shouldn’t be eligible for US citizenship

People don’t talk enough about Daniel Burnham’s 1909 Plan of Chicago. What an absolute masterpiece of city planning and to secure the entire lakefront for public use.

You’re 7’6” but your teammates want to halfback dive to the rim instead of throwing you lobs. It’s really the inverse

That wasn't the point of the sit-ins. Black people were paying taxes for libraries, schools, grocery stores, and other facilities they weren't allowed to use. This wasn't to be in a space, it was to stop get equal access to what they're already paying for.

Steph Curry says NBA players are underpaid

"I think because the way the CBA is structured right now, we can't participate in equity. And that's a big deal because it’s a partnership with ownership, the league and we're on the short term of that revenue"

"The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're playing is a part of why I would say yes, we are underpaid because you want to be able to participate in that rise"

"I know we're blessed to be in a position where we're playing basketball for a living, and these are the type of checks that people are earning"

"Hopefully sooner than later those rules change a little bit so that players can participate more in the upside of team equity. I think we deserve it"

Judge ordered unmonitored legal calls. Guards cut the phones. Then came the beatings, the pepper spray, the knee on a neck, the broken wrist, one man unconscious.

Court filings. Attorney photographs. An Amnesty International report titled "Torture." A district court closed it. Two Trump judges reopened it.

NEW: Imagine your water runs brown, smells like poop, your yard floods with sewage every time it rains — and the government still says your water “meets standards”

That’s life in Cahokia Heights, a Black town where Congress just cut infrastructure funding

The City of Houston should really be leaning into this moment.

There’s a clear, growing interest in Houston as a spring break destination—especially for Black young people—and more broadly as a place people actually want to visit.

That’s an opportunity.

If a 50 year old real estate developer decides a RB from Texas is worth $3M out of high school, that high schooler and his family are not wrong, immoral or unscrupulous for cashing in.

D.C. elites siphoned $57 million—worth $1.5 billion today—from the Freedman’s Savings Bank to enrich themselves and fund the development of the District at the expense of formerly enslaved depositors. https://t.co/9kx5W6SFBc

Black disenfranchisement had been the glue that held Southern whites together. That breaks differently place to place. Atlanta, Little Rock, elites curry Black voters and it drives the WWC nuts. Houston, Memphis its a CIO/NAACP alliance that sends the elites to cuckootown. -OS
