Ran into an anti-fascist, pro-Jared Goff guy at the #NoKings protest in DC today. Detroit Lions fans are everywhere 😻

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

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

Mark Davis paid $2M to buy the Las Vegas Aces in 2021.

$40M training facility opens in 2023.

3 titles in 4 years. Valuation in June 2025 made them worth $310M. Pretty sure that’s going to be higher next time.

15,400% increase so far.

He invested. Time for the WNBA to put that investment back

Alert: ICE is in Okemos, MI. Please let anyone you know in that area to be careful, and even if you’re here legally- maybe stay at a hotel for the night. Stay safe. Protect each other. Resist. 💙

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

JB Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?”
