How do white people delude themselves into believing that they can identify anti-Black racism better than a Black person? Enough to refute the validity of a Black person’s claim of anti-Black racism??? Like…how does one get to that level of ability to lie to themselves?

What does he mean by this? Finch has benched Rudy at times situationally and won. He benched D’Lo in the Memphis series. Can he cite examples where benching a player bc of low effort does not work? What informs his philosophy and why does his way work so well?
Finch (2/2): "... already today. There's never been a team that's won anything meaningful that has substituted their way there."

I’d love to see Julius or Ant benched when they get lazy or don’t follow the game plan consistently. Finch protects them and deserves to be called out for not sitting them out ala D’Lo in the Memphis series.
Rudy Gobert: "Just no effort. We've seen that many times ... since I've been here. We always know it's coming. When it comes there's no sense of urgency, no accountability. I think at some point if players don't have accountability someone has to have accountability for the players.

Yes. Embarrassing but on brand for Dems
Nothing less than abolishing ICE and prosecuting Miller, Noem, and Bovino will suffice.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

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!

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.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
