the leaders of the civil rights era could not propose or veto legislation. they had no "power." but they had legitimacy because they were out there. Letter from a Birmingham Jail was written...FROM JAIL. But with these guys "Hey it's crazy right now and we can't do much, but give us money." LOL ok.

friendly reminder

The things you believed were right yesterday are still right. They'll be right if they put you in jail. They'll be right if they shoot you. They'll still be right when these people are dead and dusted and gone.

which they will be

Two sets of on-off splits that I think also line up with the eye test:

- Hawks had a 109.1 DRTG (very good!) with Mo Gueye on the court and it went to 134.4 (very bad) without him

- Hawks had a 72.3 ORTG (yikes!) with Keaton Wallace on the court and it went to 131.7 without him

The Porzingis and Jalen pairing has continually been beat on the boards
If you look at the first 5.5 games in totality, the No. 1 problem for the Hawks has been defensive rebounding.

Hawks can't get a fucking rebound

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

The ruling will likely be appealed and for now other counts in the case remain but will continue to be aggressively contested by the defense.

Counts 1 and 3 in the #StopCopCity indictment (RICO and Arson) are highly likely to get dismissed based on Judge Farmer’s comments today.

What's happening in Gaza is a genocide committed by Israel.

Trust the evidence of your eyes. We've all been witnesses to the atrocities over the past year and a half.

Trust the evidence of your ears and listen to Israel's leadership—their own words.

Demand your elected officials condemn it.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

There was no reason whatsoever to have a 12.5/11.5 split in minutes between Okongwu and Nance in that half with no foul trouble.

It's not like it's a back-to-back or something where you're worried about Okongwu minutes.
