This week we talk to former pro-bowler and Super Bowl champ Martellus Bennett about his new children’s book, Dear Black Boy. The former NFL standout also talks about his upbringing, how he’s been doing post-football, and his creative projects.

Also we got Choice Words about Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke and why he’s making it hard to root against the Patriots, Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to a coalition of civil-rights groups and an odious white-supremacist group. We also have a new Kaepernick Watch. 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
