If she had the players best interest, she’d also have done something about the fact that the number of players who got injured was 20-30+% more this season. That stat was wild.

It’s giving tired white woman bs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also Cathy’s claim that the comments are “passionate” and “emotional” is a huge deflection and messed up. Cathy bringing her kids into it is much more emotionally driven.

Time for us fans to get ready to join the players on the picket lines if it gets to that. Solidarity with the players so they get paid what they’re owed. 🪧

Me too!

And it is said “Napheesa not NapheeSHA.” No h.

Agreed. And you can see from how the other players are responding and backing her that they see it too.

That's Queen shit! Still the MVPhee.

Lynx acknowledge shooting victims with shirts The phrase "Change starts with us -- Justice & Accountability" appears on the front of the shirts, while the back honors Philando Castile, Alton Sterling and the Dallas Police Department.

The best crew.

I love them so much.

Also that the Black women coaching staff are spending their time & energy babysitting these white women players is icky.

Maybe for dessert grab a Rebekkah Brunson cookie :)

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

Late DFL leader Melissa Hortman remembered as ‘shining light,’ consensus builder Melissa Hortman, the top Democrat in the Minnesota House, was killed along with her husband, Mark, in their Brooklyn Park home early Saturday in what Gov. Tim Walz called a “politically motivated shoo...

!!!! Thank you for your words today. 💓

AG Ellison staying at the No Kings rally despite being on the assassin’s hit list to tell the crowd to not be stopped, to keep marching is exactly what I needed in this moment.

Me too

whether or not the no kings rally at the mn capitol is officially cancelled or not, there are already thousands here, and as far as I know the program is moving forward at 1pm. Will update if I’m told different.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

i pray they find this shooter because the idea of him being on the loose with major rallies planned today is absolutely horrifying

Today’s a good day to figure out who’s trying to build their brand on the bodies of dead people, and block them. All my love to everyone honestly grieving. All we have is each other.

Melissa Hortman still isn't sorry - MinnPost She got (sorta) famous for calling out her colleagues. But Hortman is also a player at the Capitol, one whose role is going to be increasingly important for her party in the weeks — and years — to com...

Wearing my “I will not apologize” t-shirt today in her memory. www.minnpost.com/politics-pol...

Still grieving Kari Dziedzic and now, Melissa Hortman. They were so alive, so vital, so good, so strong. Fuck cancer and fuck guns.

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

It's hard to understate how important Representative & former Speaker Hortman was to Minnesota politics - she was probably the most prominent woman politician & integral to the recent budget deal. She was also incredibly kind and a real person - Kiernan sold her girl scout cookies. It's horrifying.

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

speaker melissa hortman and her husband

Speaker Hortman was a bold and brave leader who made hard decisions and fought for the people of Minnesota every single day.

She and her husband Mark did not deserve to die. My heart goes out to their children.
