It sounds good but it would be a cold day in hell before black players at SEC schools actually use their power to fight against racism with the millions in NIL up for grabs. Historically, look at how elite black athletes left HBCUs in droves in the 70s for those PWIs.
HBCU Alum@hbcualum

Now is the time for Black collegiate athletes to truly understand their power and boycott these SEC schools in racist Southern states that disenfranchise their people. Its time to wake up! These folks want Jim Crow 2.0!

Spiritually New Afrikan: The Negro Subversive
This is how I avoid doomerism. It took a multi-century struggle against slavery then Jim Crow for us to even get to this point. We have odds facing us most of our ancestors would envy. None of this came without a fight, so fighting shouldn’t scare us.
Ken J. Makin@differencemakin

I’ll be brief. The ancestors persevered against steeper odds. We should consult with them more often (reading, remembering). Voting is a surface-level component. They saw the vote as a means to much more immediate freedoms. And they never said “we cooked” unless food was ready.

Remember... the South did not want to end segregation. Or, slavery. They did not want to give black people their constitutional right to vote. They were FORCED to. They're going to go back to the 1940s. They WILL segregate schools again. They've been trying to go back to this.

Bayou Manchac, downriver of Baton Rouge, on the border of Iberville Parish. In April 1718, New Orleans, at the time under construction at today's French Quarter site, almost got relocated here-- name and all. But the engineer carrying the recommendation from Paris died en route.

This is so funny man. Vance is the presidential candidate of AI accelerationism in 2028. But he knows that this is another issue that will be a liability for him, so now we’re going to get a cycle of stories that his team puts out there to build this narrative that he’s actually not the tech right’s lab grown pet. It’s the same media strategy he tried to use for the war in Iran.
Brian Schwartz@schwartzbWSJ

SCOOP: VP JD Vance held a secret call with CEOs of giant AI companies including Elon Musk, Dario Amodei and Sam Altman. Vance expressed concern with the potential of AI systems and impact they could have on local banks + other smaller businesses. It’s an instance of the administration scrambling to decide what to do with AI. Story w/ @AmrithRamkumar + @natalieandrews wsj.com/tech/ai/trump-…

The Voting Rights Act was built on an assumption by its authors (primarily Abe Fortas and Nicholas Katzenbach) that the South would only act in racist ways if allowed to and so had to be stopped from doing so at all times forever, and holy shit was that assumption dead on. -OS

I have been saying this for years to deaf ears. It's not really that Democrats are weak, it's that they play by more difficult different rules in coalition building, partisan advantage, the courts and the media ecosystem. That has never been clearer than over the past month.
NickFrank40@NickyFrank30

On one hand it may actually finally convince a lot of people in the left that, yes the rules are different for Republicans and no the problem isn’t that Dems are weak or whatever, but that they actually have to be strategic and calculating in an unfair environment and there isn’t much you can do about it.

In 2018, North Carolina held an election using congressional maps that had already been ruled unconstitutional. The winners were seated anyway. In 2022, Ohio did the same thing. Georgia and Alabama moved forward with racist maps in 2022 that violated the Voting Rights Act. The winners of those elections were seated anyway. When it’s Republicans disenfranchising Black voters and Democrats, illegal maps are suddenly good enough to keep in place during the election. None of those states even put their maps up for approval by the public like Virginia did. Virginia should proceed with their election under the map their voters just enacted. Anything less would establish an unfair precedent.

Unusually hot in the Louisiana Capitol today (AC is usually blowing pretty hard), and the cafeteria is shut down (overheard someone saying that they were told by staff “we don’t want to feed all these people”). Lots of folks showing up to speak out for fair maps, regardless
