Interesting words from @rioferdy5 looking at racism in football and challenging Kick It Out. @Mr_Saffsy recently wrote a piece for us about @kickitout and the need for them to have more power. https://t.co/qiq6J6tMl5
Random but relevant: It’s wild is that Native Americans weren’t granted US citizenship until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.

"You can kill a revolutionary, but you cannot kill a revolution" Fred Hampton. On this day in 1969, Fred Hampton, the 21-year-old Chairman of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party was killed by law enforcement. RIP King.
Being a new parent is so dope because you fall in love with this small human you helped to create & then watch this small human discover the world for the first time & I’m trying to think of something more joyous but I can’t
The President benefitted from a foreign power’s intervention in our election. Then, his team secretly conspired with that foreign power to undermine the United States government’s response. And all anyone can talk about is whether that’s against the law.
