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!

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
