Read Colin Kaepernick’s memoir “The Perilous Fight” over the weekend. I found it exciting, informative and relatable. Opinion: Reading Colin Kaepernick’s memoir as a biracial Black kid from Milwaukee milwaukeecourier.com/news/2026/09...

Reading Colin Kaepernick’s memoir as a biracial Black kid from Milwaukee

Lots has been said about Colin Kaepernick and the NFL’s handling of his protest to the national anthem, but unfortunately narratives have long been shaped by those in power.

We made it to Election Eve. Just want to say a big thanks to all the colleagues and sources that helped the Milwaukee Courier cover this wild race. Your interest in the Black press is so important. Regardless of who wins, let’s argue about it on Wednesday and then let’s quickly find common ground ❤️

Imagine being a Republican from Wisconsin who opposes an official honoring of the day slaves in Texas found out they were no longer slaves. Also, anyone opposed to Juneteenth because “we already have an Independence Day celebration” should be required to explain their stance to a black audience.

I had the honor of interviewing Mike McGee Sr., who is speaking out publicly to Milwaukee for the first time in nearly 20 years. Former colleagues of his also provided their time for this project. Thousands of special Juneteenth edition of the Milwaukee Courier will be dispersed tomorrow. ✊🏾

#WIGov candidate Tom Tiffany admitted Americans are angry about “higher gas prices” and said it was “time to wrap up the war” in Iran. Hours later, he voted to keep the war going anyway. #WISPolitics

Proud to see @seiu.org holding Tom Tiffany accountable for ripping healthcare away from Wisconsinites to pay for tax cuts for his billionaire donors Wisconsin deserves better than Tom Tiffany.

Some personal news: After more than five years of filing stories, today is my last day at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I’m moving on to a new opportunity that closer aligns with my interests. I’ll still be reporting on Milwaukee! More on that later.
