Lions big moves:
Goff - $53M AAV
Hutchinson - $45M AAV
Sewell - $28M AAV
St. Brown - $30 M AAV
Jack Campbell - $20.5M AAV
Jameson Williams - $26.7M AAV
Alim McNeill - $24.2M AAV
Kerby Joseph - $21.5M AAV
They just came in the form of extending their own talent. I get it, less sexy, but big moves, nonetheless.
Including Garrett, Rams will have four contracts averaging $20M + (Stafford, Garrett, McDuffie, Davante Adams). Just different roster constructions.
And yet we are not talking about the fact that Black voters and voting power in the South and in the CBC are on the verge of being extinguished or diminished greatly.
As I mentioned weeks ago… there were 2 windows to release this damn thing so as to be meaningful and not a big distraction and this moment is not one of those windows.
Today there will be folks tweeting 10-15 times today about this report and have probably only discussed southern redistricting a handful of times (if that) since Callais. ( And apparently, we are not capable of doing both at the same time.)
Back to task ahead…
@jemelehill It’s because she’s a woman. For the record, not saying it’s right, but if you look at the history of this country, white women have typically fought for and benefited from equal rights policies. And the 14-16th amendments came before the 19th.
Listen, at any other time in American history, I understand the civil dispute that is valid for vetting a candidate. But if you have not been watching the news lately, WE ARE NO LONGER THERE ANYMORE. There is a qualified Black Woman running for Governor of Ga.
Every win right now is about stopping the intentional destruction, dismantling, and erasure of Black people in the United States of America.
We do not have time for infighting.
We have a qualified candidate who is polling above every other person running. So what are we doing?
This is not the time for ego, division, personal feelings, or purity tests.
This is survival.
This is strategy.
This is about protecting Black communities, Black rights, Black futures, and Black political power.
The people working against us are organized.
The people attacking us are coordinated.
Meanwhile, we are debating each other while the clock is running out.
We do not have time for this anymore.
@harrisonjaime@jbarro@reedgalen This is why the base is mad. You all are bickering about dumb stuff, words, semantics, I’m butt hurt you said this about me, crap. Get over yourselves and put that energy into the people actually doing harm.
