It’s weird. You’re drinking your first cup of coffee, getting ready for breakfast, when all of a sudden your notifications blow up, so you throw some clothes on, grab your PPE, and run off to chase trouble with neighbors.
My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

When a sitting president releases a video of himself defecating on the American people, that’s not “satire.” It’s a public humiliation fantasy and an erotic performance of dominance.

In their petition, ACLU lawyers write, “The anti-immigrant campaign under the guise of 'Making America Safe Again' does not remotely outweigh or justify indefinite detention in ’America’s Bloodiest Prison’ without any of the rights afforded to criminal defendants.”

“. . . [P]retending that getting rid of Engelbert would solve the problems the players are trying to address in labor negotiations is naive at best. She is not acting in a vacuum. Her job is not to speak against NBA owners; it is, in many ways, to speak for them.” #WNBA
Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social:

WNBA's Engelbert under fire — but the NBA's power looms larger
Engelbert faces blazing criticism from WNBA players, but the NBA's ownership and influence remain the central challenge to the league's future.

Bizarre stat: A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young combined for 61 of the Aces' 86 points in regulation and have none of their 13 through the first 3:51 of overtime. Chelsea Gray has scored eight and Jewell Loyd five.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

One of my first experiences covering Cathy Engelbert as WNBA commissioner was when she named gun violence as the main reason why the league refused to open up a Chance the Rapper concert to the public during All-Star weekend in Chicago. Didn’t get much buzz at the time but always stuck with me.
Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.
She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

I cannot decide who to root for in the Finals! It would be so cool for Kah to get a 2nd ring on the team the Sky beat to get her 1st ring. On the other hand, I love the Aces & I would be so happy for Cheyenne & Dana. #chicagosky #skytown #WNBA @snapwilson.bsky.social @robocoko.bsky.social

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

To answer a couple of logistical questions I've gotten about that interview:
1.) As I wrote in here, a Sky staffer was present for and heard the entirety of the interview.
2.) It was not under embargo, nor did team comms make any attempts to amend or address those statements pre-publication.

The Chicago Sky suspended Angel Reese for the first half of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Aces for “statements detrimental to the team.”
Those statements were given in routine, team-facilitated interview with the Tribune after practice Tuesday with a Sky communications staffer present.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.
