This....this was not called a foul #wnba #thew #dream #valkyries

And betting odds.

T-Mac a real one On the Peacock halftime show, continues to loudly call for the Hawks to move their game so the WNBA Finals game can be the late one

everyone has said this but game 6 of the WNBA finals being at 12:30pm on a thursday is so fucking stupid

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Yikes. Shooting <30% isn’t gonna get it done. Two straight games where #ATL just didn’t show up. What was Allisha Gray doing? SMH. and the bad calls were getting inside Angel’s head; she had 15 boards but no steals or blocks tonight, wasnt aggressive on D the way she was in games 2-3. #wnba #finals

Fouls don't have to be even, but please be consistent. #WNBA

You never want it to be the refs changing the game #wnba

These refs are insane tonight. Wow. #WNBA

Okay I’m not one to jump right to “bad reffing“ but this ain’t right #wnba #finals

3 pt game but #GSV is def outplaying #ATL right now…. AR completely silent is not a good sign #wnba #finals

Valkyries lead 25-22 at halftime. Veronica Burton leads all scorers with 9 points, six rebounds. GS shooting 30%. Rhyne Howard has 6 for the Dream and a block. Atlanta shooting 23.5%

What a f’ing first half of basketball. Defense, all the way. #wnba

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I'm going to start this thread on the presidential count in Brazil—so people who are interesting can follow along. With 3% of vote counted, Lula up 51.3 to 48.7 (that's a lead of 103K). Pattern in 2022 & in R1 was Lula down big at 1st, then closing gap, but that's shaken up by today's 2-hour delay.

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

Transport issues in major capitals across Brazil right now, all major Lula-voting hubs, including the city of São Paulo. More arrest warrants for mayors across Brazil are currently being issued while the Labour Party tries to get voting times extended (polls are due to close in 95 minutes).

This criminal suspension of public transport, of course, affects the working class the most, those who overwhelmingly vote for Lula and who have to carefully plan their workdays to be able to get to the polls. If the buses don’t come, there are no hours, no minutes to spare. Those are votes gone.

An arrest warrant has been issued against Salvador's secretary of transport, one of Brazil's largest Lula-voting hubs, for keeping dozens of buses off the streets today. Again: what’s happening in Brazil is criminal.

There is blatant voter suppression happening right now in Brazil: flights cancelled and buses suspended to Northeastern capitals where Lula holds the majority, polling stations changed to thousands of kms away last-minute, voters in London told they need to go to Edinburgh… This is criminal.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

the handful of die-hard anti-trans voters that exist are going to vote GOP no matter what. so this ad will not pick up a single new voter. all it does is further disenfranchise trans ppl – a marginalized group MAGA hates. this is a pro-MAGA ad & Turek is furthering MAGA's cause by airing it

You asked AI for the cheapest flight. It dug through your emails, decided you could afford more, and suggested a ticket costing $100–$200 extra. Lindsay Owens explains ⬇️

Another evil layer to this ad from Josh Turek: When he turns to say "stop the nonsense from both extremes," he opens with a clip of Rep. Becca Balint, the first openly gay woman to represent Vermont in congress and one of the few openly gay members of congress.

Ugh here we are again. #wnba #finals #atl www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/20...

16 point deficit at the half is not insurmountable but Angel shooting 20% FG will be 😬 #ATL #GSV #wnba #finals

DPOY for #wnba #finals #MVP! 🏀👸🏿

Ultimately the only way to meet the moment is to recognize that hate is all three: their brand, belief system, and policy blueprint. Even their fiscal policy is predicated on a worldview that sees most people as disposable and unworthy— starving the poor, gutting healthcare, ending humanitarian aid.

I wrote for @thenation.com about why people need to stop acting as though the dramatically escalating bigotry on display in US politics is just an unserious sideshow.

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

None of us are free til all of us are free

While DC dithers, Jesse Gabriel has quietly become America’s de facto food safety chief.

We are three games in so I think I’m allowed to start speculating right….? DPOY for #wnba #finals MVP? #ATL👸🏿

I can't believe I never thought of this joke before.

Professional Republicans are creeps who want to inspect your kids’ genitals. Never, ever vote for a Republican.

theoretically there's at least one kid that hadn't really considered being trans until they opened the mailbox, saw the mysterious transgender mailer going around in texas, and went "hey, wait a second"

I don't recall Dream audiences having this kind of energy prior to 2026. The Angel Reese Effect. #WNBA

More history for Angel Reese: She is the youngest player (24 years & 168 days) in WNBA Finals history with three straight double-doubles. Just remarkable.
