This. She also aligned herself with a president that nearly 60 percent of Virginia voters don’t approve of. And then she had the nerve to look at Black people on some help a sista out …uh, no m’aam.

The NYC mayoral election is not an indictment on Trump, but the Democratic Party. Stale, bland, uninspired leadership isn’t what the people want. Zohran Mamdani is young and will make mistakes but proud of New Yorkers for at least being willing to try disruption.

Made an appearance on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip last night to discuss Donald Trump pardoning crypto czar Changpeng Zhao. I dropped a helluva Nino Brown reference youtu.be/xCA-q7xsaGU?...

WATCH: SPOLITICS Live: Is Stephen A. Smith Making a Calculated Heel Turn? 🎥: @jemelehill.bsky.social #jemelehill #blackdiasporanews #stephenasmith #blacksky

I had a lot of thoughts about Stephen A Smith’s recent comments about Rep Jasmine Crockett and LeBron www.youtube.com/live/Y6Z9_kQ...

Another edition of SPOLITICS Live starts at 5p EST/2pm PST. Gonna crack my knuckles and dive into some of the recent comments by my former colleague Stephen A. Smith www.youtube.com/live/Y6Z9_kQ...

I had some thoughts of D’Angelo’s passing and how his music represented a time where we weren’t arguing about 50/50 dates, who’s alpha or who’s beta and we were actually looking to fall in love www.youtube.com/live/lPjW888...

What’s been your D’Angelo playlist today?

I don’t love Gavin Newsom, but I voted for him because I understood the assignment. I don’t have to get everything I want because I don’t hold politicians up to some impossible purity test. Governing kinda sucks. But am I wrong for finding myself swayed by him lately?

The WNBA has a commissioner problem. My latest piece for @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I did not intend to spend part of this lovely college football Saturday defending Ayesha Curry, but here we are www.youtube.com/live/xRbVDL3...

1. Napheesa's powerful statement. You can search for a copy of the statement or the video of her reading it, but I really liked this breakdown from @jemelehill.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/jeme...

I had a lot of thoughts about Napheesa Collier reading WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert from Genesis to Revelations. This much is clear: Cathy Engelbert can’t continue as league commissioner www.youtube.com/live/WcbD9BV...

Going live on YouTube at 7p ET/4p PT to give my thoughts on Napheesa Collier absolutely nuking WNBA Commissioner Napheesa Collier in her exit interview youtube.com/@itsjemelehi...

My thoughts on Bad Bunny performing the Super Bowl performing me and why it pleases me that MAGA is losing their mind about it (starts a little after the 2-minute mark) www.youtube.com/live/uHcUwXg...

Going live on YouTube at 3:15p ET/12:15p PT to discuss why Bad Bunny was the right choice to perform at Super Bowl LX. Tap in and subscribe while you’re there www.youtube.com/live/uHcUwXg...

If you read anything today, let it be Nikole Hannah Jones’ essay on how Charlie Kirk’s death is doubling as an invitation to transform white supremacist views into normal political discourse www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

Democrats have pretty much lost the ground game on social media and podcasting. It doesn’t help that Russian money has robustly funded a lot of the right wing media. And now a lot of social media and most television networks are in right wing hands. I honestly don’t know what the counter is.

Sexy.

Over 30 years ago, 2 Live Crew’s Luther Campbell fought and won one of the most important free speech cases in American history. He has some advice for Jimmy Kimmel. My latest piece for. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Their advertisers are going to be pissed.

Going live on YouTube at 5p ET/2p PT to discuss Disney announcing that Jimmy Kimmel will return to the air on Tuesday www.youtube.com/live/8nRue9v...

“This thing called women’s sport is a beautiful thing, and it’s been here for everyone. And we’ve wanted the audience; we’ve wanted people to pay attention,” the broadcast journalist Cari Champion tells @jemelehill.bsky.social at #TAF25. Watch more: bit.ly/465zTjy

Absolutely horrifying footage of congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social being thrown to the ground by ICE. Cowardly behavior.

I triple-checked. This wasn’t @theonion.com headline

I ain’t Michele Obama, so when they go low, I’m headed to gutter. I had to read Megyn Kelly for filth after she called me ugly. I’m a lot of things but ugly ain’t one of them. The read starts around the 28:00 mark www.youtube.com/live/ScndPtd...

This was extremely insightful, as it does show that the killer did not fit into a neat political box.

I’m going to remove a post I posted here a few days ago. The LA Times spoke with an expert who explained what the shell casings on the casings (good and accurate information), which seemed to point to some kind of far right on far right crime. Obviously, there’s more concrete info now.

Watching the Utah prosecutor explain the charges against Tyler Robinson and I applaud him for his thoroughness.

I spoke with Maya Moore ahead of her HOF induction. So many believe she would have been the unquestioned GOAT had she kept playing. I asked something that should matter to the WNBA as they work on a new CBA. Would Maya have played longer if the WNBA paid better? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Watched Al Jazeera tonight, which I hadn’t done in a long time. It really crystallized just how poorly American media have covered the far right movement, particularly from the lens of it being a global threat. The Tommy Robinson rally in London was very reminiscent of Charlottesville. Total chaos.

The Post’s decision to fire Karen Attiah, one of their strongest voices, is just despicable. Unfortunately, it speaks to the moment we’re in. The best thing we can do is vigorously support Karen’s work.

I probably rambled more than I should have but here are my thoughts on Charlie Kirk, the media and our destructive political culture www.youtube.com/live/8t12NAK...

Going live at 1p ET/10 am PT for a bonus episode of SPOLITICS to discuss the sports world’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder, our divisive “politics,” the limitations of free speech and where we go from here. Don’t forget to subscribe while you’re there www.youtube.com/live/8t12NAK...

So predictable that several HBCUs are on lockdown because they have received direct threats, and Hampton has canceled classes altogether. Black people are always a scapegoat and a target for white anger.

My conversation with Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson for SPOLITICS — which includes what he plans to do to keep the Bears in Chicago, how he lowered the city’s crime rate, why he isn’t backing down from Trump and his response to his low approval ratings youtu.be/-KAmDDwabWM?...

@jemelehill.bsky.social with the best take on this 🧀🛢️ logo nonsense.

In recognition of Labor Day, here’s my SPOLITICS commentary in how the formation of sports unions were central in the overall American labor fight youtu.be/P4wmnnARz-8?...

Re-posting my SPOLITICS episode with Taylor Townsend earlier this year. Taylor has dealt with a lot in tennis, including a significant amount of body shaming. When you listen to this pod, you’ll understand why TT was unbothered by Jelena Ostenpenko youtu.be/AdrZcGAlp-c?...

Very classy of Fox to air Lee Corso’s final pick and for Tom Rinaldi to pay tribute in his on-field report. Speaks to not just the respect for Corso, but how universally liked he is.

The bad faith actors will dishonestly draw a through line connecting trans people to mass shootings but will skip right to over the fact that many of these mass shooters are racists, antisemites and misogynists because they harbor some of the same sentiments as the shooters.

America took the leap from trans women are the biggest threat to sports to trans people are now the face of mass shootings in record time. Even for this country, that’s impressive.

My guest this week on SPOLITICS is Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson. In our wide-ranging interview, Mayor Johnson explains how he’s navigating Donald Trump’s constant attacks on the city of Chicago.
