Maybe being an insufferable Knicks fan has clouded my perspective, but I feel like there hasn't been enough discussion of the Knicks going Super Saiyan these past couple of weeks.

Did a little digging and it looks like this sentiment is most attributed to James H. Cone, who developed a theological framework rooted in black liberation. Couldn't find an exact quote, but its definitely worth knowing where things come from.

It’s a little exhausting watching many people remember all of the sudden racism is bad.

Now mind you this was true the entire time people were coining terms like “peak wokeness” and complaining about racial fatigue.

Listen, I don't want to imagine the day when the great Walt "Clyde" Frazier retires from the Knicks broadcasts. But when he inevitably does, they absolutely should pass that role on to Monica McNutt.

I voted for her, but I really don’t understand the desire to blame voters and not the candidate when the issue is literally genocide. Like, GENOCIDE. This was not a disagreement over lawn maintenance.

Adam Silver's biggest problem is that he's too responsive to the various sportswriter complaints that surface every season while we're waiting for the playoffs to begin. That's why we've had 50 iterations of the all-star game during his tenure.

like we learn day one in health policy: it's the hospitals then the drugs

Blavity Blacks, Twitter Blacks, New Blacks, Media Blacks. Same thing.

Banchero is the only player on the Magic who looks like he wants to shoot the ball.

But somehow always express doubt when we say we EXPERIENCE racism.

Small point but today illustrates pretty clearly why they were so obsessed with banning critical race theory. Derrick Bell’s work predicts this type of regression on rights.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

"Those in power may pretend not to know where the present political trajectories are taking us, but they seem to sense that they’ll have to hide." www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

The pretense that this only happens to people who have it coming requires you to keep expanding your definition of who has it coming.

“We don’t have to pretend to care about racism anymore.” - Louisville

You know, one thing that I picked up when reading the Bible is that God is kinda anti-leftovers. Like, there are multiple instances where he's like "nah, don't save any for tomorrow," and gets angry when people do it anyway.

Crisis isolating you from community is intentional. & only online is everyone perfect & never experienced hardships.

This is what you’re going to get when you decide diversity is “HR bullshit” this is the world a lot of you prefer.

Great system we got here where a miserable self-hating curmudgeon can weaponize the highest court in the country to openly do grievance politics for life.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.

I knew when Platner popped out styled like this that we were going to get stuck in an endless loop about class that was and is untethered from materiality and common sense.

Follow some of the links in the article to get a better idea who this bum is and the disingenuous image that the national media has bought into. He’s a plucky little David taking on Big Negro with nothing more than $12m from right wing think tanks and a $180k salary.

A fight people aren’t willing to have, while they chastise us about how we’re not grateful enough for the small victories.

People are like "unfortunately, Trump is very funny" and that's not true. He is not. The person who is terrible but unfortunately very very funny is Eric Adams

This album was a real gem. I'd even go so far as to call it a classic, at least in my stereo.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

🚨 ON STRIKE 🚨 Unionized staff at ProPublica @propublicaguild.org walked off the job today. Stand with workers: DO NOT cross the picket line. That means no visiting ProPublica's website, social media or engaging with its content today.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I went to the CVS near my job yesterday and all the vitamins were locked up.

A very good piece on how Pete Hegseth believes that we lost the war in Iraq and Afghanistan because we were stabbed in the back by Black and Women Generals.

If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."

Jaden Ivey is clearly having a mental health crisis and the people who care about him need to step in and get him some help.

YOU 👏🏿 DO NOT 👏🏿 KNOW 👏🏿 THESE 👏🏿 CELEBRITIES! 👏🏿

Everyone is an individual and should be treated as such. All these rules are just gonna begat more rules and shrink your options until you're at the point where no one is acceptable.

This is an interesting story, but I get frustrated by them using the “Give me a lawyer, dawg” story as an example. They all knew good and damn well he was requesting a lawyer, the cops and the judge just didn't give a fuck.

Could anyone read a story like this and oppose reparations?

Do y'all remember that year when Florida Gulf Coast University was dunking on everyone? March madness has never been that fun since.

This looks like an interesting read. Though I keep looping back to the thought that if we lived in a society that was willing and capable to seriously commit to reparations like this, then we wouldn't really need reparations.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

You fucking loser

In continuing "why are we in it," news-- I assure you if JK Rowling had said the N-word people would be falling over themselves to excuse still watching the damn show and buying the damn books. We are in the middle of a purge of Black people due to anti-DEI. Please leave us out of your rhetoricals.

Can someone recommend a good book about the 1968 teachers' strike in NYC?

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

You're happy in your relationship, I'm happy in my relationship, glad to know we're both happy.
