Sellers: “We are going to be the first generation to actually leave this country worse than the one that we inherited.
Bakari: And I think for black millennials, uh the the the progress that our parents and grandparents gave us, that we’re watching being ripped away from us is something that our generation is going to have to really wrestle with and and figuring out how we get out of this conundrum.If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026, they would simply say the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits.
They they swapped out clan hoods for Brooks Brothers suits. And and that is the problem.
I mean, Plessy v. Ferguson was 7-1 and it gave birth to 50 years of Jim Crow.
What we have with this court right now, what we’re seeing is is watching people who have fought and died and bled so that we would have access to the ballot box, so that we would have access to our voices being heard in Congress, being ripped away.
And and I think that there is a casual laughter from people we believe to be our friends on the right who are showing us true colors today because the most sacred or one of the most sacred acts you have in the United States of America is the ability to cast a ballot and elect someone and send them to Congress, the state house or mayoral seat that represents your interest and now black folks throughout the South are being silenced.

Following the Money on Sean Duffy’s Road Trip
Nearly a dozen companies that sponsored Duffy’s personal travel have significant business before his agency.

Nearly three decades after starring on MTV’s The Real World: Boston, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is returning to reality television. Despite a cabinet-level appointment, a responsibility to oversee the nation’s transportation infrastructure, airports around the country struggling with a critical shortage of air traffic controllers, and multiple deadly commercial airline crashes, Duffy has apparently found time over the last seven months to film a five-part series about his family of 11 traveling across the country on what he calls The Great American Road Trip.
The announcement, which took place on Fox News—Duffy’s former employer, and the current employer of Duffy’s wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy—was accompanied by clips of the series trailer featuring laughing children and panoramic shots from around the country as the family celebrated America’s 250th anniversary. In one moment, Campos-Duffy excitedly compared the family atmosphere of a road trip to normal life: “This is really wholesome good family stuff. This is what families need to do.” At one point, Campos-Duffy excitedly contrasted the family atmosphere of a road trip to what she described as the “Pornhub world” of normal life. “This is really wholesome good family stuff. This is what families need to do.”
But amid the good clean family fun, even distracted viewers were sure to spot the extended product placement cutaways, like the conspicuous shot of the family Toyota or the extended advertisement for Royal Caribbean Cruises’ Icon of the Seas (which is mentioned by name).
At one point in the trailer, Duffy tells his kids, “someone has to pay for this operation, I gotta go to work.” Viewers might understandably assume this means that Duffy paid for this vacation out of his $253,000 salary as the secretary of transportation. Yet costs were actually picked up by a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group led by a registered lobbyist and funded by over a dozen large corporations—including Royal Caribbean and Toyota—many of which are actively lobbying the department Duffy runs.
