Caitlin Clark is the W.N.B.A.’s biggest draw. She’s also among its biggest targets. @louisathomas.bsky.social takes a look at what that means for the basketball star.

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none.

Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO
