After watching the second episode of Celtics City, I bought and read a copy of Bill Russell’s first memoir and wrote this piece on how the absence of anything resembling his voice is felt in today’s NBA, and throughout the country: www.theringer.com/2025/03/11/n...

Talk is cheap, GOP senators. Start voting against Trump’s nominees and agenda, or sit down and stop wasting everyone’s time and attention.

At NBA All-Star, I kept telling anyone who would listen that undoing the Civil Rights Act KILLS SPORTS. The “freedom” to not serve people at restaurants and hotels, ends modern sports. My parents couldn't get served on their honeymoon after Daddy won his 2nd NCCA title, Olympic Gold & NBA ring

The bureaucratic putsch is underway. This is more impeachable than Jan. 6. If this develops into the uniform posture of the Administration (as it seems likely it will) we are at the end of a 236-year road if Trump cannot be impeached and removed for this.

New in PN: The press is ignoring the real Liz Cheney scandal "These stories don't communicate the fact that Cheney didn’t commit an actual crime and this is all meritless. The Times plays up Trump’s strongman image, as if he’s the buff antagonist in a movie. This gives Trump exactly what he wants."

Out of every national election some institutions decay and die, while others emerge and grow stronger. Legacy media is a sad example of the former. Bluesky is a hopeful example of the latter.
