This week we talk about the NBA season that was with The Athletic’s NBA national correspondent Michael Lee. 

We also have ‘Choice Words’ about the politics of Megan Rapinoe and her decision to not sing the National Anthem at the World Cup. We got a ‘Just Stand Up’ Award to a first-time winner, Russell Wilson, for his comments about the nation’s immigration policy after a horrifying photo of a migrant father and daughter dead on the Mexican side of a river was leaked. We got a ‘Just Sit Down’ award for Kevin Keetzman, a Kansas City sports radio show host. 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.
