Nicki Minaj was at the U.N. calling for an end to targeted anti-Christian violence in parts of Africa. We’re happy she cares–and we wish she’d do a little more research, it’s not as if it’s ONLY Christians being targeted. Our hosts chat with Marc Lamont Hill about events on the continent.
Mamdani met with Trump in the Oval Office at the end of last week and had a rather chummy press conference with the president he repeatedly called a “fascist.” Our hosts have diverging opinions on the relevance and meaning of this moment, was this bad optics or cunning politics?
Rankin County jail guards filmed themselves mocking and torturing a Black inmate with intellectual disabilities, rewarding him with a coca-cola after electrocuting him for fun. Some incidents are so horrific we have to pause and ask: Why? What is the meaning of this?
NFL quarterback Shadeur Sanders started in his first NFL game last Sunday. The rookie already has a reputation for being cocky–even by the standards of professional sports players–and made some comments after the game that turned heads.
