I’m 100% against the Protect College Sports Act bill sponsored by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. This bill is harmful to all athletes, especially Black ones. And the HBCU portion of this bill is also a joke. Do NOT get played. This bill IS BAD FOR BLACK FOLKS! Call your US Senator and tell them to VOTE NO!

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
