Saniya Rivers lost her mom to heart failure weeks after the @wnba.com draft. You can see her mom’s name in this photo I took at the Sun-Fever shoot around. I wrote about her playing with a heavy ❤️ in my Times Union (Albany) sports column. She was the No. 22 i admired at TD Garden #connecticutsun

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

This place is rocking already for Round 2 Sun vs Fever. This is the line at 5:30 with 8 pm game time

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Are there no POC missing or dead?

Awesome video!

I try not to post about Xitter--I'm not on there anymore, I hate even thinking about it--but the latest Grok debacle has me mad all over again at how poor a job sports media has done abandoning that cesspool.

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Times Union goes behind the scenes of a fatal crash with podcast 5 years later For the five-year anniversary of the Schoharie limo crash, Times Union developed a podcast called Catastrophic Failure that explained in detail what had happened that tragic night — and why.

The photo shows two white women, who are members of a large crowd of protesters. Although they are seen from behind, their signs can be read. One shows a photo of Martin Luther King and says, "This is the King of America." The other sign reads, "All my outrage can't fit on this dinky sign."

My favorite two signs from today's No Kings protest in Charlottesville. Big crowd, fantastic turnout. Lots of positive energy. The mood defiant & determined.
