Fair warning—I’m about to be very direct with my opinion. I watch MSNBC because I trust the Black voices on the network. I appreciate the analysis from Joy Reid, Rev.

I love the NFL. I love Netflix. I love Amazon. But, folks, this whole “subscribe to Amazon Prime or Netflix to watch NFL games” thing? It’s totally un-American, and, honestly, it’s a disgrace. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the NFL is bad—I mean, who doesn’t enjoy a good Hail Mary on a Sunday […]

When someone identifies an issue but fails to act, they are merely an issue finder. For true impact, action must follow. In the race for Mayor, Monroe Nichols stands out as the candidate who embodies these qualities. Since the beginning, he has developed a community-focused plan, addressing issues vital to Tulsa by working directly with […]
