This week we speak to retired NBA all-star David West about his life, politics, and support for the Bernie Sanders campaign. We also talk about his work to challenge the NCAA with the Professional College League.
We have Choice Words about NBA legend Dwyane Wade and why his love and support for his trans daughter Zaya is an act of resistance. We’ve got Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards for Colin Kaepernick for launching a publishing house and for the East Moline police.
