“ICE>MN” is a wildly fucked thing to say as a random troll, let alone a cabinet fucking secretary

I don’t think the warriors are either

But it’s not necessarily the league that initiated the cancellation - reading between the lines of statements and other local chatter it seems like this was entirely a security concern and not a “stance” of any kind.
One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!
There is a straight line from the failure of Reconstruction to "We don't need to count everyone's vote in the 2000 election" to "People from places like Madison & Milwaukee aren't real Wisconsinites & shouldn't have their votes count" to "ICE can murder people in cold blood in our cities."

I’m really hoping the fact that Steve Kerr is in town pushes them towards more than Step 0

The NBA has postponed today’s Warriors-Wolves game in Minneapolis.

These people think their constituents are SO FUCKING DUMB
The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Cancel the game.

Is standard operating procedure to plug the weapon into an iPhone cable?

Fuck these lying fucking fucks.
They're already rushing to lie about why they executed a man.

Just saw a 20ish person protest outside a tiny Citizen’s Bank branch in my medium sized CT town where the temp is in single digits weather.

The local Facebook D group is full of “if they could do it in -20 we can do it today!” comments.

Minnesota friends, you did this.

I don’t think a state that is threatening wars of territorial aggression and has random death squads wandering about its mid-tier cities assassinating civilians should be hosting the World Cup

The Minnesota Timberwolves absolutely need to postpone their game today.

lol should've clicked the QT link first. reading now

Is there a way to easily break this down by range? I could see a naive argument that this is a function of efficient shot selection, but that doesn't really seem right - he still (I think?) takes a lot of midrange jumpers. It seems like the improvement is across both those midrangers and at the rim

I'm pretty darn atheist but this quote goes about as hard as any single sentence I've read in a while

I’m both proud of school leaders for speaking out on behalf of their students and disgusted they have to.

If only there was some local FORCE to SERVE and PROTECT these children
