This week, we talk to the founder of Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry, Jacqueline Keeler, and discuss the recent Supreme Court case that has Washington football-team owner Daniel Snyder celebrating.

Don’t miss the powerful Choice Words about Philando Castile, Colin Kaepernick, and the lost wisdom of Roger Goodell’s father.

We also have a very special Just Stand Up award to a group of NFL players supporting socially conscious middle-school kids who took part in a protest earlier this year.

And a question for Phil Jackson: Are you deliberately trying to destroy the New York Knicks? All that and more on this week’s show!

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
