I wrote this a year ago. As this administration continues to use football to advance its white nationalist politics, I think the central question of the piece has become even more pressing. nytimes.com/2017/08/21/opini…
Thanks so much to Femi for this beautiful piece on Charles Mills.

Heartbroken and speechless today. But I just want to say: Charles Mills, you lived a life of impact. Thank you for sharing it and you with us. Forever Missed.
Reading Charles Mills’s The Racial Contract changed my life and my view of what Philosophy could be. I only met him once but he was as kind and warm as he was brilliant. Thanks to Liam for this beautiful tribute.
I wrote a personal tribute to Charles Mills.

This might be the most overlooked part of the Alston ruling. Don't overlook it. The NCAA's biggest legal shield has broken, declared as dicta evermore.

Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion, although he also joined Gorsuch's opinion, to basically write that he is ready to take on the other NCAA compensation rules not at issue in this appeal.

NEW: In a victory for college athletes, SCOTUS unanimously invalidates a portion of the NCAA's "amateurism" rules. The court says the NCAA can no longer bar colleges from providing athletes with education-related benefits such as free laptops or paid post-graduate internships.
GOOD RIDDANCE to the worst year of my academic career! We survived, and that’s the best thing I can say about it.

Are you a nonblack person who constantly sends gifs or memes of Black people? Let's have a talk about digital blackface.

This was a great (and eye-opening) episode. Minor league baseball is yet another industry exempt from FLSA and paying its employees minimum wage. Given the enormous wealth generated by MLB, this situation is unconscionable.

We’re bringing you stories from @Marketplace's podcast The Uncertain Hour.
They're looking at how businesses legally get around providing minimum wage + other worker protections.

@KarenKilgariff I just had to stop the podcast when you mentioned Sundance channel because I want to IMPLORE you to watch Rectify, which was on Sundance back in 2016 or so. It is SO GOOD and not enough people have seen it!
@karenkilgariff the main character is released from prison after 20 yrs b/c DNA evidence exonerates him of his gf’s murder when he was 17 in the 90s. Life is totally different now but his small town still believes he’s guilty & he isn’t sure either. It’s beautiful & gripping.
