This week we speak to Leroy Moore, one of the founders of the hip hop organization Krip Hop Nation, about the Paralympics. We also talk to Moore about his love of Hip-Hop, his favorite artists, and growing up in New York City during the birth of the music genre.

We also have Choice Words about Renee Montgomery, Kelly Loeffler, and the retaking of the Atlanta Dream. In addition, we have Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to an attempted rumble to remove another bigoted boss, and the good ol’ boys of Texas, respectively. We also have a special Kaepernick Watch. All this and more on this week’s show!

Your support makes stories like this possible

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.
