It's so insane that they're keeping one of the worst gm's in the league and a mediocre OC but firing the guy who almost polished this turd all the way to the conference final.

Everyone I know here in Buffalo feels stunned. My group chats are full of "no one likes Legumes why do we have to keep eating them" jokes

This isn’t as egregious as Schoen, but I wasn’t watching the game this weekend thinking McDermott screwed up
I was thinking *a lot* about the problems with the Bills roster.

Re: Sean McDermott getting fired, I ask once again: why are all these GMs keeping their jobs when they bear more responsibility for team failure?

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately.
The USA will break if a bunch of entitled Americans suddenly can’t book get-aways in Paris.

Can report from Kentucky that people care, distilleries are anxious, and real pain is being felt across the industry and beyond.

I think the big distillers care *a lot* about the whiskey boycott, because Canada punched way above its weight when it came to consuming our spirits.

This would affect the broad middle class, plus US elites, culture tastemakers, media figures, businessmen. CNN would be upset. Trying to precisely target red states is too clever, no one cared that Canada boycotted Kentucky whiskey. Has to be a throat punch

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it.
These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

When I went to the civil rights museum in Memphis, that was what stood out to me. They were so tactical in their choices.
Ok, next we'll do lunch counters. We'll be sure to pick stores that have locations in the North that can be shamed.

This Ben Jealous column is a gentle introduction/reminder to how leadership that brings solidarity and community can in fact be so effective against oppression, those benefiting from oppression will assassinate those trying to end it...

MLK's last mission — uniting the poor across racial lines — remains unfinished
He understood that bringing racially divided groups together could build enough power to secure health care, fair wages, food security and basic stability for all.

True and what is sometimes overlooked is that the movement was not a single person's leadership or belief about the correct course of actions. There are definitely lessons there about working together toward a common goal with incredibly disparate beliefs.
