Hi BlueSky, I created another guide to help you and your pals pick which #WNBA team to support this year: no stats, just vibes. As the title suggests, it is incomplete & biased.

(Thread, obvi)

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

“Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over & shooting the woman five times.”

DHS has lied, a lot, about every act of violence.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

DHS describes detaining people w/o knowing who they are and then, unironically, claims they won't stand by and watch [or commit] crime.

edition.cnn.com/2025/10/03/u...

In its statement addressing the raid, DHS noted it was still gathering information about those arrested “due to the size” of the operation and will provide more information.

“Federal law enforcement officers will not stand by and allow criminal activity flourish in our American neighborhoods,” DHS said.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social:

Engelbert faces blazing criticism from WNBA players, but the NBA's ownership and influence remain the central challenge to the league's future.

Today, masked agents (I assume to be BP or ICE agents from the badge) threw tear gas canisters toward civilians because they were blocked in traffic and were heckeled at

If you were wondering about Cathy Engelbert's "devastated" children, her son is 24 years old and her daughter graduated college 6 years ago so I suspect they'll survive.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.
