Grateful to Coach Kerr for using his platform to drive meaningful change.
When leaders speak hard truths about gun violence, they help move this country from apathy to action.
We need more of this courage on the court, in Congress, and in every community.

Why Warriors coach, ex-Arizona Wildcat Steve Kerr isn’t afraid to speak out against Trump
In the NBA, like the world at large, fewer and fewer of its most prominent figures seem eager to challenge authority. Warriors coach ex-Arizona Wildcat Steve Kerr continues to fight.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
