Black athletes are one of the greatest cover-up creations by white capital in American history.
A nearly totally abject poor group in Black Americans are perceived as having access to wealth and proximity to power because of the creation of gibberish basketball players. Leading to people’s framing of wealth including an imagery that Black males that are nearly entirely locked out of wealth and power are billionaires too.
And now the gibberish athletes like @kingjames feed the system the poor’s economic carcasses with @draftkings sports gambling.
A perfectly run system of exploitation that was created with detailed planning. @nba @nfl

I don’t want to hear another thing about that I promise school Lebron created. Tell me about how a player actively playing in the NBA was allowed to promote gambling in commercials at the same time? “LeBron James Collabs With Kevin Hart To Promote DraftKings Sportsbook Ahead Of 2025 NFL Season”

One of the greatest things that could happen as a result of the chaos of the #iranwar for #ados Black America is to render dribbling as a basketball player, joking as a comedian, and tackling as a football player the same as somersaults. A nice but trivial set of talents.
A generation has been lost on odd ball hunger game escape hatches that I believe were created by capital as control structures to derail uprising and political thought.

Everyone wants to raise a D1 athlete but no one wants to raise a global thought leader.

🇺🇸RUBIO:“The Strait of Hormuz does not belong to Iran; they have no right to close it.”

🇮🇷IRAN: “The Strait of Hormuz is Iranian territory and will only be opened by order of our leader Khamenei, not by the tweets of an idiot.”

Brilliant response🔥🔥

BREAKING: Iran rejects all of Trump's new claims to NYP as "Trump's fantasies" and "completely inconsistent with reality," denying that Iran has been talking to the US in the past days, that Mojtaba Khamenei is involved in negotiations, that Iran has agreed not to have a nuclear weapon, or that the deal framework is being approved in Iran, per Tasnim.

Iran has not provided any response to the US regarding the draft memorandum of understanding in recent days and has ended all exchange of texts and communications until Iran's conditions regarding Lebanon are met.

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. California will hit tank bottoms for jet and diesel by July 4th.

The Asian import arbitrage is dead, local refining is tapped, and none of this is reversible for 12-18 months.

Could this be the Energy Crisis' Lehman moment?

Rubio - Iran has mined large sections of the Strait of Hormuz, those are international waters.

[The Iranian Letter @TheIranianzg3z]

BREAKING: Iran says it has carried out a major retaliatory operation across the Gulf following recent U.S. military actions, with Iranian media reporting missile and drone strikes targeting American military positions in the region and warning of a tougher response to future attacks.

Iranian officials say the previous cycle of proportional retaliation is over, signaling a shift toward a more aggressive response posture. The IRGC warned that any action threatening Iran’s strategic interests or the security of the Strait of Hormuz would come at a significant cost, raising concerns that the confrontation between Washington and Tehran is entering a more dangerous phase.

Tracking the Shift from Mortgage Refinancings to HELOCs

"HELOC usage has increased over recent years. While the share of HELOC borrowers remained lower than it was in 2019, it increased significantly for lower-income ZIP codes. At the same time, since 2022, the level of inflation-adjusted HELOC debt per borrower increased 14% at the national level, 21% for the lowest-income ZIP codes, and 10% for the highest-income ZIP codes."
