ICE Serves Only to Terrorize and Occupy Americans

It's no longer just undocumented immigrants, Muslims, Black people, & pro-Palestinian activists who are targets. As ICE violently marches across American cities, the majority must stand up & resist.

haven’t seen anything and it’s really disheartening, but not unexpected

i go a step further: no one is ‘good at business,’ some people are just given more opportunities to fail than others and are judged on their successes

idk i think they’ll all just shuffle up the %s of the cap and re-sign, except slim and maybe ezi bc of the vibes

i’m one who thinks the free agent thing won’t be chaos at all … it’ll just be certain teams like atlanta who have players coming off rookie contracts and getting big raises (like rhyne) creating movement to make space … i would be shocked if 80%+ of free agents didn’t re-sign w their teams

wow these are some dumb takes …
- the lynx behind the merc and the dream … after this season?
- the dream at 3 when they’ll have to cut their depth to give lish and rhyne maxes this offseason?
- the sun ahead of the mystics? what season did you watch?

so, do we think every heat game this season will have the commentators talking about how working out w a’ja improved bam’s footwork, or can only boys teach girls how to improve at basketball?

just saw a carousel of mid-season headlines—aces done, a’ja should ask out—and it is wild the difference a few months can make

hoping america has a turnaround like these aces, and all this bleakness is replaced with some big wins for democracy

In one season, A'ja has attained: MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP, and scoring champion.

Number of times that has been done in pro basketball history:

-WNBA: 0
-NBA: 0

The greatest individual season in professional basketball history
