"Currently, there are no Black women head coaches in the league following the dismissal of Noelle Quinn in Seattle. Teams and the league at large must make sure they create pipelines so that certain coaches aren’t left out of the WNBA’s new golden age."

My kid is on to me. He was talking about the Astrobot and I zoned out. He said “did you hear what I said?” When I said yes he asked, “ok so what did I say?” I was so busted.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

As we get more reports of ICE thugs detaining Americans, it should be noted that Timothy Snyder made it crystal clear from the onset of ICE raids that NO ONE would be safe.
People tell ICE: "I'm an American." They illegally detain us anyway.
Bc WE already let them erode due process for immigrants.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Really good piece from the Tribune's archives people on what happened when the president sent in troops to deal with the Pullman strike in 1894. John Peter Altgeld was an outstanding governor who too often is forgotten. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/22/i...
In 1894 Pullman strike, Illinois’ governor fought president’s decision to send in troops
During the Pullman Strike of 1894, the governor of Illinois decried President Grover Cleveland’s move to call in the federal troops.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

We were "alarmist" and "unpatriotic" to protest the foreverwars and creation of DHS. We were "too idealistic" to demand higher wages and taxing rich people. We were "unrealistic" to demand accountability and alternatives to policing. And we were always "protesting wrong."

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
