This week we speak to filmmaker David Shields about his new film Lynch: A History, about the great running back Marshawn Lynch. The film looks at Lynch’s life and how he’s been able to use silence as a form of resistance.

We also have Choice Words about the Toronto Raptors and why they are the team to root for. We got a Just Stand Up Award for Warriors forward Andre Iguodala and a ‘ust Sit Down award for a group of fans. All this and more on this week’s show!

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
