apple.news/A17E1VUFlQK2... As I’ve watched Angel Reese through this WNBA season and her play in the FIBA tournament, I absolutely agree with this article. I wasn’t really a “fan,” but I truly appreciate her understated impact and her hard work.

Just saw a CNN piece asking whether “changing demographics” could turn Georgia blue. WOW; way to stoke the fires of racism before an election CNN! How about GA turns blue because GA voters are tired of GOP corruption and impotence? Huh? How about that?!

I cannot believe USA women's basketball team winning the gold in the #FIBA world championship game is not trending. It was a hell of a game.

Seen a lot of these, but this one is my favourite 😎

* A country is strongest when its people protect one another’s rights, even when they disagree.

This is an edit made by a #wnba fan (@loslynx on the clock app). I’m sharing this because the league could have done this but they chose to lean into antagonism as a motif when the camaraderie and sisterhood is what makes the W so unique.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

‘Nuff said…

In an angry, divided world, this is a great image from last night's France-England game 👏

Trumps such an ungrateful piece of shit Canada sent firefighters to help California and México did the same … fuck Trump for bullying them fuck him!!! Canada and México are our allies

Is it ironic that Fox Sports is playing a Neil Diamond song about immigration (“America”) in their opener to the World Cup game?

THE STRAIT OF WARMOOZE IS NOW CLOSED.

According to an informed source, one million Russian soldiers have been killed since the beginning of Russia’s war against Ukraine, at a rate of 18,000 casualties per week. No one expected the Ukrainians to endure and hold out like this. Glory to the heroes, and Slava Ukraini.

Here are Italian PM Meloni's remarks about Trump, translated to English: "Donald Trump's statements are completely made up. I am frankly stunned. I don't know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies..."

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

@jamestalarico.bsky.social here’s your ad: image of Epstein, Andrew, and tRump, “Ken Paxton is for they/them; James Talarico is for you.”

Memorial Day is a day to remember the men and women who gave everything for this country. To their families across Arizona and the nation, their sacrifice lives on. We are grateful — and we will never forget.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

Memorial Day asks something simple of us: remember. Remember the service members who lost their lives, the families who carry that loss every day, and the responsibility we all share to never treat that sacrifice lightly.

The yield on 30-yr treasuries is 5.1%. The tRump administration wants $1.5 trillion for defense and $1 billion for a ballroom, and they are going to stick our children with the bill. Congress, where in the HELL are you?!!

Stumbled across this little gem this morning...

Someone say blasphemy?

Pope Leo has posted a message on X, condemning those who manipulate religion for their own gain "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

Rewatching “The West Wing:” (1) amazingly good show; (2) were still talking about the same things; (3) governing this country is very complicated; and, (4) the current administration is not up to the task. - ‘nuff said.

Trump just posted this of him as Jesus. Straight up heresy.

Watched Schumer’s interview on CNN. Singularly UNspirational. Dems and GOP are two sides of the same bad penny. GOP has advantage because they are backed by the broligarchs who are taking control of media and social media.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Somebody should ask “Secretary of Wah” Petie-Pie where he thinks the Iranians got the data to target a $700M AWACS on the ground. (Hint: “Russia, Russia, Russia,” as t-Rump likes to say)

Encouraging to see so many turn out for the No Kings protests. Now we carry that same energy to the ballot box. That’s how a free people defend their democracy.

Notable today: in 14 mos in office DJT has played 110 rounds of golf at a cost of over $100M for US taxpayers; (2) US debt is getting more expensive as few foreign govts buy US treasuries. Debt will roll over at higher interest rates. DJT is bankrupting the USA.

Robert Mueller. My latest column for @lincolnsquare.media: open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...

FACT: While Donald Trump was fakin' bone spurs, Robert Mueller was recovering the body of a dead American soldier behind enemy lines. Dwell on this.

@maddow.bsky.social it looks like Kyle Clark was pulled off the air as a result of the Nextstar acquisition of Tegna. A huge loss to journalism. The broligarchs are taking over the media.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Chicago, IL ICE abducted a US citizen when she came home from a trip to Turkey. Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi was born in Evanston, Illinois, and is being held in an ICE detention center. ICE told her family they don’t know where she is. Her iPhone pings from within the ICE building. Protests are outside.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

“But the DOW . . . The DOW . . . The DOW is over fifty thousand (awkward pause) . . . DOLLARS!” Pam Bondi’s comment sure aged well, didn’t it?

The GOP is for He/Him.

@maddow.bsky.social here’s the Dem Ad. (Video of a bomb hitting Iran ‘BOOM’) your healthcare. (‘BOOM’) Medicare. (‘’BOOM’) social security. (‘BOOM’) affordability. Cut to photo of DJT, “The GOP is for he/him.”
