Imperialism, but Diverse!

Thanksgiving serves as the checkered flag of each year-long race, which in 2020 seemed like it would never end. This year, the basic traditions of the holiday looked different due to COVID-19. As America bleeds out the clock towards a vaccine, we see growing resistance to the basic policies designed to prevent the spread of the virus, which expects to lead to a massive winter spike. Can we blame these people though? When the same leaders who are responsible for implementing these restrictions on people's lives avoid playing by the same rules? We will discuss that, along with the most recent updates on how COVID is impacting the NFL season, and how the league is responding.

Blame Game

Recent history has shown us what the energy in opposition to an unpopular President can accomplish. Record-setting fundraising, mass mobilization across demographics, and a spike in voter turnout. Recent history also shows us the pitfalls of what happens when all of that energy disappears once the goal of seating a new President has been accomplished. As the 2020 Presidential Election cycle comes to an expected close this week, this conversation will serve as a call to action. For those who have been energized by the last 4 years. Or to the people that decided their silence was no longer tolerated as the country faces a pandemic, growing income inequality, a worsening climate crisis, and its largest protest movement ever recorded. Regardless of the outcome of this election, the answer is not to withdraw back into our phones and our lack of attention to the world around us. The problems we face will not disappear with a new President. We all have something to give, and it is up to us to stay energized and fight for the change that is needed. There is no going back to brunch.
