    "Mumia Abu-Jamal on Trump’s America: ‘All Is Not Well in Babylon’

    The former Black Panther was sentenced to death in 1982 for the murder of a Philadelphia cop. His freedom is no longer a prominent cause for musicians — but he’s still paying attention

    (. . .)

    Now 71, the numbers marching for his freedom have dwindled without the urgency of imminent execution dates. But even if we’re not paying attention to him, you better believe he’s paying attention to us. 'There’s a feeling of mass disorder; that everything is off of its orbit,' he says. 'All is not well in Babylon.'

    (. . .)

    Speaking with a direct, calm urgency, Mumia Abu-Jamal has much to say about the demise of due process, the hypocrisies of the Constitution, and the long political road that has delivered us to the current crisis."

  2. From #DaveZirin via Facebook:

    A couple years back, I saw Rage in concert.

    It was epic.

    Zack performed the entire show in a wheel chair due to a shattered ankle he experienced on stage during their last tour stop and was incredible, hitting every note from the seated position.

    Tom Morello was inventing the sounds coming from his guitar.

    They gave Tim C a solo spotlight on bass that was mind boggling.

  3. This is the most honest and thorough response to the final transformation of centrist news to propaganda at #MSNBC Dave Zirin may be a political reporter discussing the sports sector of our society, but his insights about journalism’s politics are keen.

  4. Funny, I thought #DaveZirin meant The Game must end (the #NFL), but he just meant that one contest. Sad. Football kills about 4 young men from brain and neck injuries per year nowadays (discounting 2020-21 cuz covid) - not counting longterm injuries of course nccsir.unc.edu/wp-content/uplo #DamarHamlin

  5. I heard about #BuffaloBills player #DamarHamlin heart stopping from a hit in Monday's #NFL game. I didn't catch that the players and coaches essentially went on a #WildcatStrike refusing to keep playing, and the #NFLPA #Union called for the game to be postponed.

    "the league only called the game after player reps from both teams contacted the union, the NFLPA, which informed the league that the game was done. This was a workplace action." #DaveZirin of #TheNationMagazine
