He needs to find a way to better train them. It’s a disservice to the officers with what we ask of them and then we don’t provide them with the proper education and training to handle the job.

This Portland team has sucked from the beginning. I think they are going to rival Chicago to the bottom next year. 🤨

Social media content creators also don’t need to be strengthening every lie that comes out of his mouth. All that does is help spread it.

I’m terrified for this country but I’m sad for this man and his family and for all the military leaders who have left their post since January. These people have worked so hard to achieve this level. These sacrifices their families have made.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

No, no they will not. The will follow the orders given to them regardless because that’s what they’ve been trained to do. The military is not going to save us.

Would love to know who the owner is. Phee showed herself to be a formidable leader. One the players can trust and this makes the grifters nervous because they know they’re stealing from the athletes. There’s nothing else to call it.

Why does the WNBA insist on standing in the way of its own success? Pay them what they want and put the All Star weekend in Ballhalla.

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

I cannot possibly emphasize enough the massive disparity in how male vs. female coaches are treated in the W 😤💯 The double standards are loud and exhausting. #WNBA #WomenInSports #Equality #WBB #RespectWomenCoaches

My sister owned a small business and was complaining about an employee getting pregnant and how they shouldn’t get pregnant if they can’t afford it and I replied that maybe she shouldn’t have a business if she can’t afford to pay her employees properly. 🤨

Preventative medicine doesn’t pay. There’s no profit in keeping people healthy, managing their illnesses pays a nicely? That’s their business model. Start asking these politicians why they are so quick to jump to a for profit model rather than work to improve the current for health model.

Americans spend roughly double per person compared to Canadians, yet outcomes are worse on nearly every measurable, life expectancy, maternal health, chronic disease, and mental health, etc. Privatisation is not the answer and all you need to do is look at the grift going on in the US.

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein…took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch – scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”
