Here’s your reminder to not take my basketball opinions, seriously. I’m a crash out Knicks fan

If Giannis wants out of Milwaukee, the Knicks better do everything to try to get him in New York. No one is untradable.

Another one for @senschumer and his fellow brave letter writers

If you’re critical of Saquon Barkley rubbing elbows with Donald Trump, let’s talk about the sports owners who are funding Trump and the NCAA lobbying Republicans to stem the tide of athlete empowerment youtu.be/aAW4LwlttrA?...

Didn’t they try to kidnap and kill her?

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

No Black person has ever vouched for Gretchen Whitmer, no one should have ever trusted her.

The ruling class wants the working class to argue over which party is better for the people. The reality? Working class people have been left behind by both parties. We don’t have to accept high costs and low wages. We can have a better America.

Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump — becoming the first university to refuse to comply with the regime’s demands. Now it's suing the regime. Other institutions, firms, and individuals should take note. Surrendering to Trump’s tyranny only invites more of it.

Gov. DeWine just signed SB1, a law ending “DEI” in Ohio public higher ed. Now that it’s law, U of Toledo just killed the following BA programs: • Africana Studies • Asian Studies • Disability Studies • Middle East Studies • Philosophy • Religious Studies • Women's/Gender Studies And… • Spanish

You know what I’m just going to give up on watching basketball all together. The Knicks losing like that was unnecessary. The NBA’s officiating is horrendous.

Roman Reigns coming out as MAGA is not surprising at all. It’s very on brand for the WWE. As a collective, jocks aren’t beating the idiot allegations.

Fuck Roman Reigns too.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I’m glad Governor Shapiro and his family are okay. Nothing about this is a sign of nation headed in the right direction.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Do Batgirl Next!

FINALLY

Hmmm White Lotus doesn’t do it for me. In all honesty, it doesn’t provoke a negative or positive response, it’s just kind of there.

Black boycotts can be the foundation of activism and historically that has been the case. And this is why they want to ban Black History in schools and in museums.

This. Sandy Hook. Uvalde. A lot of the reason why I have lost a lot of faith in this country is that America is willing to let it's own children die due to gun violence. How do we expect people in this culture to stand up for anyone else, if it won't even protect it's own children?

So K-12 Educators are supposed defend children from lunatic gunmen but John Hopkins is going to willingly let their students be taken by fascists? Everyday the people who “would have done something” continue to do absolutely nothing.

Even if that was true, that’s still frightening. It’s literally a random person getting unauthorized access to the US military operations as they are about to happen. These people are massively incompetent.

lol never ever think that you are unqualified to do something ever again

Circling back on this…

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

I humbly submit to you, that amidst a reassertion of white racial superiority the continued support of white people in a white majority country that white supremacy is the most predictive and substantive lens to examine developments.

logging on

Here’s why I’ll be voting NO on the partisan funding bill.

One of these things is not like the others

Mikal Bridges Called out Thibs Then called Game

It’s deeply alarming how many elected officials who’ve sworn to uphold the constitution are willing to throw the First Amendment. America must not arrest people for speech, regardless of the views being expressed.
