"She’s our leader and best player." How Veronica Burton went from being waived to putting up historic numbers for the Golden State Valkyries | @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

sfchronicle.comVeronica Burton isn’t just the Valkyries' heartbeat. She’s making WNBA historyA year ago, Golden State Valkyries guard Veronica Burton didn’t know if she had a WNBA future. Now she’s leading a playoff push — and she might be the league’s most improved player ever.

Veronica Burton has to have her name in the MIP convo in the W. Increased opportunity is paying dividends. And it isn't just her defense. She's improving across the board as a facilitator, scorer and rebounder. She went for 30p 7r 7a on 10/13 shooting tonight with SIX made 3s. #WNBASky

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

😲 Guys, Avelo painted their ICE jets all white! The tail number matches. How pathetic is that? 👀

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

I’m at a bar/restaurant in Charlotte and I ask them to put ABC on 1 of their 30 TVs. Slowly other people start watching and tv channels are getting changed. If the bar would put the #WNBA on people will see what we do and enjoy.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.
