Support Mean Lesbians!

It’s possible. But quite a few sports media outlets are making this out to be something nefarious & I’ve seen absolutely nothing to indicate that. I’m in a union, on the executive board& currently on a bargaining committee in active negotiations FWIW.

FYI this is how most bargaining works. It’s extremely rare for the entire membership to have access to all of the data/info requests & def not proposal language. The bargaining committee is tasked with that & then membership votes on a tentative agreement. Theres nothing sus about this.

Welcome to labor organizing. Push polls happen routinely. Still doesn’t mean anything nefarious is happening or that it was the right move to leak that letter. I’m really tired of media outlets who seem to be on a witch hunt but only for the union.

Very glad to finally read a piece that isn't just carrying water for the owners.

Nah no respect to a player who insists on doubling down on her Harry Potter shoe deal.

I have been in a contract meeting since 9 am & it feels like my eyes are bleeding.

Again, I know it’s disingenuous but at least some of the time it needs to be said that this is bullshit. So I’m saying it. This is bullshit. From the rooter to the rooter.

We love Saniya and we would love to see her PAID WHAT SHE IS OWED.

Kelsey Plum & Breanna Stewart are fucking clowns, get them off the Executive Committee.

congrats to breanna stewart and kelsey plum on one of the great unforced errors in labor history. you got none of the short term gains you were looking to snatch up, and now half the league will suddenly channel vontaze burfict every time you come up on the schedule

At any rate...thank you to Kelsey Plum for inspiring me to take on the task of creating an education series for my members!

Agreed. I would be willing to believe that perhaps the union hasn't done a great job educating members & their comms does seem insufficient BUT I do find it hard to believe that someone in an *elected leadership position* wouldn't have a basic understanding.

I saw someone share that ESPN article with the comment 'The Caucasity of it all" and I was like WORD.

I love the municipal device.

Yeah that's my thought as well. Terri Jackson sure as hell wouldn't have. Who else would have even seen it to leak it?

I'm not faulting any members for expressing concerns but in writing this letter, they had to know there was a chance it would get leaked (if they didn't leak it themselves). Request a meeting, talk it out. Don't write a letter that will actively undermine negotiations. Scab behavior.

From a labor perspective, it absolutely weakens their position. I honestly don't know what to believe because according to this article, over half of the players still support a strike.

Also if you are in CA & voted for Prop 1, you are a naive rube & should be embarrassed. You got played. No real problems will be solved. More will be created. Good job.

I am in a meeting about the chaos that is about to be unleashed on the mental health system in LA County thanks to Prop 1 & any motherfucker who wants to to tell me to vote for Gavin Newsom for literally anything is invited to flush yourself down the toilet.

Omg it’s perfect…she’s on the Seattle PWHL team! You can be a duel Seattle hockey fan!

Great thread. I'm really disappointed in Kelsey Plum & the WNBPA in general. You have power. Use it.

Cillian Murphy was asked if he’s playing Voldemort in HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ series

“I’m categorically not. Can you make that the headline?”

(via The Times)

Khamenei was given a martyr's death instead of facing justice for the crimes of his regime; instead of standing before his accusers. Hardliners stand vindicated through America and Israel's unprovoked war. We have robbed them for 47 years of their rights to self-determination.

Since it seems like a lot of people are somehow not understanding this…the hero & true revolutionary of OBAA is the Sensei. Work collectively, build community.

It’s bullshit that none of the foreign actors got nominated though. Where’s that solidarity.

Getting teary eyed listening to Samwise Gamgee talk about labor solidarity

So many other responses that would have been better than this, Dawn.

A day of history, joy and anxiety in 'Tehrangeles' as a dream seems suddenly possible Reza Khaleghian, 70, came bursting through the door of Naab Cafe on Saturday morning, phone pressed to his ear, fist held in the air, screaming the news in Farsi at anyone who would listen: "Khamenei ...
