Hey peoples! If you ever want to catch up on old columns or podcasts or just reach out - especially if this hell pit finally implodes - please check out the revamped website over at edgeofsports.com
Trial run over. Life is better w/out this fascist disinfo dump so deactivating tonight. Here's one last column. It's on Trump's MSG rally. My editors allowed me to call @elonmusk "apartheid's shitstain" so as Willie D said, goin out like a soldier. Bye! thenation.com/article/politi…
And since I'm leaving this social media shithole anyway: to @jonathanchait who devoted his last column to taking repeated cheap shots at me for - fainting couch - daring to criticize Harris' campaign strategy, fuck you buddy.

We're all going to look pretty silly when it turns out that Davante Adams is actually being slowly driven mad by the sound of a still-beating heart from the old man he killed and buried beneath Allegiant Stadium

TIRED: Davante Adams is being traded to the Baltimore Ravens
WIRED: Davante Adams is plotting revenge against Antonio Pierce by offering him a taste of a rare amontillado deep within his family's catacombs where he plans to trap him forever.

I've said this many times, but the "denial" era of conservative climate politics is over, no matter what they say. This is the new normal: blame migrants, hoard resources, fortify walls. newrepublic.com/article/1549…
Sometimes @thenation gives me space to get some non-sports related emotions off my chest. Today it’s about a campaign knowingly reading 2024 all wrong…and at peace with that. thenation.com/article/politi…

Appalling but a useful mirror as Coates’ principled solidarity with Palestine has seen him transform from liberal darling to liberal target. No listening. Just attacking. It’s a spotlighted example of what many have experienced over the last year for standing against genocide.

Good thing for him he’s not the mayor of New York!

I keep coming back to this exchange because it says so much. What I'm realizing is this was the type of response @nhannahjones received for the #1619Project. A lot of critics simply deemed it extreme so as not to truly grapple with its content. It's one way to silence people.
Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.” cbsn.ws/4gJxe2g

The muted response in the United States to a Jewish woman becoming the president of Mexico—a Jewish woman who is a leftist and supports Palestinian liberation—it tells you everything you need to know about the cynical weaponization of antisemitism to silence and repress the left.
