As the W.N.B.A.’s profile has grown, so has the gap between the athletes driving that value and the league in which they play. Louisa Thomas writes about how players are fighting for the future of women’s basketball.

We’re supposed to treat her views as just a difference of opinion. Another nation thinks they’re too incendiary for her to even visit.

If you were to accuse mainstream Republicans of being openly aligned with people holding these sorts of views, they would definitely say you're being unfair.

The issue is these guys let their words get leaked, rather than keeping it private as expected.

Ho-Lee sh*t.

Telegram messages from young Republicans from across the country have leaked.

They are racist, violent, anti-Semitic, pro-Hitler, homophobic, pro-Nazi, pro-rape, pro-slavery and more.

Plus the article names names.

A must-read, must-share article.

D’Angelo was a Richmond, Virginia legend. We knew him because he was from Southside and came up with my cousin. He sent a card over with his government name when my cousin was m*rdered. Just a stand up guy that was Richmond to the core. Sad to hear of his passing.

Listen to this carefully. It’s blatant racism, but with added targets- He’s describing an awful lot of folks who may react differently than law enforcement expects - assault and hate crime survivors, neurodivergent people, many disabled and chronically ill people.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
