I used to think that being kind, respectful and curious were conservative qualities. Turns out I’m a liberal. Father, partner and grandfather too. Oh yeah, and prone to cursing.

Everyone, especially all you #Fever haters out there, needs to watch this presser from last night.

Stephanie White was fabulous, thoughtful, emotional! Odyssey Sims was great. Aliyah was smart.

God, I hope the CBA goes well so we can see this group in 2026.

No one is safe from gun violence in America.

We do not have to keep living like this.

Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

The thing is that to Right, people of color, women, the LGBTG community…anyone that disagrees with them are seen as less than human. So there really is no comparison.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

US rightwing group targets academics with Professor Watchlist Turning Point USA’s list gains fresh attention after it expands and some notice it disproportionately names academics of color

You people trying to rewrite the history of who Charlie Kirk was are pathetic. He used his organization to bully, dox and attack people he didn't agree with. Free speech my ass. He was one of the worst aspects of American politics. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

20 years ago I took my girls to a Fever game and afterwards Tamika Catchings was signing tee-shirts. She said something nice to every girl and they were awestruck.

Friday at the WNBA All Stars Live event Ms. Catchings was reportedly just as lovely and welcoming and my kid was awestruck again 😃

Easy for me to say, but this feels like a mandate for @stephencolbert.bsky.social to take his intelligence, wit and grace to other stages. There’s imperative-y-ness to it.

Not sure I understand. There weren’t enough people for the job of warning us if serious weather events and people died as a result. So the answer is to have less people doing the job? The american fascist party wants us terrified, in chaos or dead.

To the “I voted for this” crowd:

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.

That’s what you voted for?

Trump says he is willing to let migrant laborers stay on US farms U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he is willing to let migrant laborers stay in the United States if the farmers they work for will vouch for them.

Trump says he is willing to let migrant laborers stay on US farms - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I find it hard to believe he’s really suggesting a nice guy escape clause to his solution for the “immigration problem”.
