Justice for Macklemore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The rapper has been dumped from Ed Sheeran’s tour for saying “free Palestine.” That’s a disgrace. Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, friend of Donald Trump, and proud mega-donor to AIPAC, just showed us once again how raw oligarchical power can crush any pretense that our speech is protected by the First Amendment.

The Bogus Lakers Sale Is Exactly Why We Need Publicly Owned Sports Teams (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These private-equity vampires will just keep strip-mining the things that give us joy if we let them. The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the marquee sport franchises, and yet they just got flipped like a run-down beach house in Tampa. In a move that shocked NBA insiders, Guggenheim Partners CEO Mark Walter, who bought the team less than a year ago for a jaw-dropping $10 billion, just sold the storied squad to former Disney CEO Bob Iger and venture capitalist Josh Kushner for $12 billion.
