The NFL hired zero Black head coaches. That tells you everything
With 10 head-coaching vacancies this offseason, the hiring cycle echoed decades past as owners defaulted to their superficial practices.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

New survey from Pew 🧵
Trump's approval is down to 37. He's 24 points underwater.
Only 27% of Americans support most/all of Trump's policies.
By two-to-one margins, Americans say the Trump administration has made their life worse, not better.

We, the employees of the NLRB, are calling on members of Congress to reject the Senate’s proposed funding deal unless it includes meaningful reforms for ICE and CBP’s operations.
Our Union has never endorsed a government shutdown before. But we believe we have no other choice.

The arrest of journalists is a dramatic escalation, but the pattern is straight out of Orban's script:
- suing outlets for reports Trump doesn’t like
- vowing punishments for outlets over polls he doesn’t like
- threatening to sic prosecutors and pull broadcast licenses

Trump’s arrest of journalists is the latest front in his effort to Orbanize the media
That journalists have been criminally charged is a dramatic escalation, but it’s not coming out of nowhere.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

So what I'm hearing is that, in the last five days, two Black Members of Congress have been assaulted in apparent support of the regime's deportation diktat (Rep Frost, punched at Sundance & told he'd be deported; Rep Omar at an ICE townhall) & the regime has arrested four Black journalists.
Huh.
Huh.
The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.
