Three games, all of them decided by one possession. 19 total lead changes. Two walk-off shots, including one in OT. Wemby dominance and a Kawhi performance for the ages.

All-Star is back, baby!

Shit! Wanted the Stars but that game was fun as hell! This format
works!

That was a fun game! Feel like both teams played decently hard.

Caught up with Jalen Duren at All-Star. Story coming soon, here’s a video preview.

“We’re about to throw a party because we’re No. 1 in the East or No. 1 in the league? That doesn’t mean anything … the biggest change would be from going to 14 wins to holding a trophy.”

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

Reed said this is the closest NBA team he's been on, comparable with his college and high school team. "Off the court, we hang out so on the court ... we can talk to each other without taking it personally because we all like each other. We know it's not coming from a bad place."

INCREDIBLE!

Pistons win by 18 in Toronto without Stew, Duren or Holland.

Damn I love this team!

He got out after 3 months in an ICE gulag.
My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Seeing this insane ICE violence in Saint Paul, and I’m wondering where Betty McCollum is. Just the most absent congressperson of all time. Hardly any communication about what’s happening to her constituent. Not built for the moment.

ICE has been active this morning staging in St Anthony so we still need people out patrolling our neighborhoods.

I’m headed to the Capitol today ahead of session starting next week to work on the 70 bills we have around ICE.

JB defends his guys: "They're not the ones who crossed the line tonight. It’s clear there was frustration because of what (Duren) was doing, and they crossed a line. I hate that it got as ugly as it got … but if a guy throws a punch at you, you have a right to protect yourself."

Fellow Michiganders, pay attention: Former Mayor of Detroit, Mike Duggan, is running as an Independent for Governor (he was a registered Democrat until 2024). He’s already taken a ton of money from MAGA billionaires, and he supports ICE. Vote accordingly.

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!

I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖
