Louisville, I need my Cardinal family. 🙏
16 years at UofL: poli sci professor, chair, associate dean of A&S. In 2021 UofL gave me its top faculty honor, the Trustees Award.
This year the university where I was Dean pushed me out for protecting young women from a harasser. 🧵

Old enough to remember when Pres. Trump promised $2,000 in tariff refund checks to working people who are facing inflation due to corporate price-gouging… only to give the tariff refund checks to corporations instead.
Trump and other MAGA Republicans are afraid of Black and brown workers uniting in the midterm elections, on top of enhanced voter suppression, this is another way to distract hard working folks with more empty promises.
This is like someone robbing your house and then selling you back your TV. Working people remember the promises of stimulus checks that were never received and are voting for pro-worker candidates instead!
"Here is my promise, if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the U.S Senate, both of them...because of our tremendous strength and success economically I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

As more and more Black people die under mysterious circumstances the mainstream media remains largely silent.
Thanks to @theprogressive for letting me talk about this important issue.

Lamar is just incredible
Lamar Jackson says he watched friends chase fast money while he was playing the long game and counting how many years it would take him to reach the NFL
“I’m seeing my friends who I was growing up with who I was playing football with… Just throw their life away for fast money and stuff like that. They used to tell me ‘Oh, you talk too much’. Because I used to always speak about football and positivity stuff. They didn’t want to hear that.”
“Now it’s like… They’d rather hear it now because I’m Lamar Jackson. But I’ve been speaking about it. Everybody just wasn’t listening. I was already seeing what was going on. I wish we could go back in time and y’all could see what I was seeing. Because I always looked at life like, I counted years.”
“Like I would think… ‘How many years does it take to get to the league?’ They’re saying… ‘You do three years in college.’ I said… ‘I’m doing three years.’ I’m not doing four. I’m not trying to go fifth year. I’m doing three years because I’m going to make sure my family is good.”
“If you’re coming from a place like where I come from, don’t try to be like the guys around you. Don’t look up to the stuff that looks like it’s fun… Because sometimes it gets you in trouble.”
“It’s sacrificing. ‘Man, I can’t have fun right now. I’ve got to get my family right. I can’t do this right now. I can’t mess up.’ Forget the fast money. I’ve got to think about longevity.”
“You can get locked up and do five years for $1,000. That money gone. It’s gone. You’re like… ‘Man, I just did that for $1,000…’ And I could have waited five years and I would’ve had $10 million.”
“That’s why I’m where I’m at right now. That’s how I used to think. My mom working… She’s busting her behind. It’s me, my brother and my two sisters at home. I’m the oldest…”
“So I’ve got to make sure everybody right. And it’s like… Man, I can’t wait, but I’ve got to wait. That’s the sacrifice. I’ve got to be patient. People don’t look at it like that. It’s like… ‘Man, I need that money right now.’ But you don’t need that money right now. Just wait.”

I’ve ALWAYS wanted to write a piece for @thenation It’s been a dream of mine and I pitch them often.
This, however, is not the standard I’m used to and feels more clickbait than anything. Beneath them as a quality outlet.
Republicans appear more likely to take action on Mitch McConnell's absence than Democrats. But it's not proof of life that the GOP cares about. It's a 52nd vote.

This is incredibly stupid …and racist obviously
Breaking News: President Trump ordered new signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to warn that its depiction of U.S. history, in his view, is “inaccurate.” It was the latest escalation in his dispute with the institution. nyti.ms/3RRCidi

Shout out to my brother, Jaime, and big sis, Minyon Moore, on a job well done here. Black voters have always over delivered election after election. And THE SOUTH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!
What a moment.
South Carolina will remain First in the Nation, and we’ll once again kick off the Democratic presidential nominating process.
I’m also excited about the incredible diversity of voices in the early window: South Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, and Virginia. Together, these states better reflect the strength, diversity, and future of our party and our country.
Now, let’s get to work winning elections.

If ICE detaining Native Americans doesn't tell you this is a textbook ethnic cleansing rooted in damnable white supremacy, nothing will.
Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis.
The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.
