So the league and Dream are rewarding a guy who charged a player and then sued the league and the team? And buddy, if you want to be a woman, realize that you live in fear for your safety ALL. THE. TIME.

this is unacceptable they will only be there to harass players, and surely the league knows that, given the previous harassment from this outlet. Once again, not even doing the bare minimum to protect the peace of the labor force powering the league.

A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

Cuni has been an ICE agent for a decade, so I don’t want to hear “poorly trained” again. ICE shootings and brutality are intentional acts of violence by experienced officers, not a result of poor training. #AbolishICE

NEW: Footage from Thursdays shooting shows an ICE agent in a construction vest brandishing a rifle. His name is Brenden Cuni. Federal judges have found multiple arrests involving Cuni unlawful. He has been accused of repeatedly Tasing a handcuffed man and tackling a pregnant woman in Minneapolis.

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

This is one of those stories that drives home just how horrifying the current administration and its immigration policies / enforcement tactics are. It’s heartbreaking and stomach turning.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

There are a lot of things about this winter that I still find hard to believe or process, but one of them is that the federal government singled out a state and city, more or less at random, upon which to intentionally inflict massive economic damage.

FUCK ICE. Pay us back.

Some good news: Hennepin County Library's current hours will continue through 2027. Advocacy works!

kim-mn.bsky.social@kim-mn.bsky.social

If you are a Hennepin County library user, please use this form to enter your comments on the proposed budget impact on our libraries; hours will cut, the collection budget remains flat, and dozens of FTE positions will be kept vacant. (call your commissioner, too!) www.hclib.org/about/news/2...

Minnesotans rejoicing at the Unrivaled news while simultaneously holding back the urge to comment "WE DON'T CALL IT MINNY!!!" under every single Unrivaled social post 🤣

The long-term impact of this is that Minnesota likely loses a congressional seat after the next census in 2030.

Operation Metro Surge led to over 2,300 immigrants leaving the country, according to updated ICE data from obtained by the Deportation Data Project. The new data includes immigrants deported to Laos and Somalia in the months since the surge.

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

Anyway, here’s a section that will cut you to your core. Odds are 1-2% of the local Latino population has been deported & one community member thinks 25% have left.

Right wingers love free speech unless they don’t like your speech. A piece above “Fauci Lied” (yes they put up conservative crop art too) was taken down for the safety of the artist, who has been doxxed. They are even calling her work. No one’s safety should be in question for the art they make.

Kaela Reinardy@kaela-r.bsky.social

A fun thing happening in crop art is that some artists are being doxxed and tracked down on their personal social media by folks who object to the subject matter of their pieces. 🙃 The fair prohibits entries under aliases, so our full names are out there. I think most of us are ok with it, for now.

This was always going to be the next step. There are no trans players in the WNBA so instead they're going after cis women who are insufficiently feminine for them.

Heartland Signal@heartlandsignal.com

U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) claims the WNBA is "trying not to offend some of their players who ... [are] trying to live a male lifestyle": "They protect the lesbian structure that's inside the WNBA with a male quote-unquote female relationship that are two women."

“The WNBA will not institute a league-wide ban on Freedom, according to a source with knowledge of the decision.” They are trying to lose me and it’s going to work the way this is going.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
