The World Cup is about so much more than just the football. FIFA's pricing structure for next summer's tournament ignores that

Coaching kids in your favorite sport is an absolute privilege. Grateful for the opportunity.

Didn’t make it to a protest but instead came to celebrate the love of two young women of color. Because joy is a form of protest and love is a kind of resistance.

This is the kind of country I want to live in… #NoKings 🏳️‍🌈❤️

My university just sent these emails within minutes of one another. The institutional priorities are clear…

Remember, your budget is your mission. What you choose to allocate funds to is what you value.

My latest piece @thenation.com is the loving, heartfelt tribute you've been waiting for: "Real American Scumbag: Hulk Hogan Was a Racist, Liar, and Scab" www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Hulk Hogan Was a Racist, Liar, and Scab
In the 1980s, the professional wrestler portrayed himself as an all-American hero—but he was really a “jabroni” the entire time.

The second highest number of MLB players born outside the USA were born in Venezuela. The league needs to say something. The union NEEDS to say something. And MLB players born in the USA need to wake the fuck up and stand with their teammates. And Rubio is a pathetic, fame-hungry abuser of children.

Everyone loves a good zombie book, & @maxbrooks.bsky.social author of ‘World War Z’, knows why. “It is human nature for us to tune out [real danger] to save our psyche. But if you give it a veneer of something fictional, like zombies, you can explore all the real factors.” #VelshiBannedBookClub
Velshi Banned Book Club: “World War Z” by Max Brooks
Max Brooks’ seminal zombie thriller, “World War Z”, is set in an alternate 21st century world after a zombie apocalypse -- a pandemic that began in a small Chinese village -- infected and subsequently killed millions. Told through a series of interviews, all conducted by a fictional version of Brooks, there is very intentionally no hero. Each interview subject is a survivor of the apocalypse, each with a different role to play. While “World War Z” grapples with human shortsightedness, the power of fear, the fragility of modern life, the necessity of humanity in the face of chaos, at its core, it is a book about survival.

My latest newsletter takes a deep dive into Alex Cooper and her continued affiliation with Barstool Sports, and why that makes a partnership with the NWSL especially ill-advised for a league attempting to re-brand after multiple sexual and workplace abuse scandals.
why the NWSL’s “Call Her Daddy” partnership is worse than you think
a league-affiliated supporters group? with alex cooper? yikes.

Was it worth it, Columbia University?
!!

"Columbia University’s interim president, Katrina Armstrong, stepped down on Friday, one week after the university accepted a roster of demands from the Trump administration.

"The university immediately named Claire Shipman, the co-chair of its board of trustees, as its acting president."

The 2026 World Cup is looking less like a global celebration and more like an America-First spectacle—detentions, deportations, and trade wars included.

Last month, I launched an audio series exploring the Trump-UFC alliance & its impact on US politics

With Trump's reelection, this series is now more essential than ever for understanding how the UFC & Rogan helped drive him back to the White House.

Episode 3: Fight! Fight! Fight!
In the third and final episode of In The Red Corner, we look back at the Jan. 6 insurrection and the role the UFC played in rehabilitating Trump's image in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

It is truly sick that universities have preyed on international students for exploitatively exorbitant tuition fees and now they are allowing those same students to be thrown to the wolves with nary a fucking complaint.
