I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I was pretty ambivalent about the rebrand but it looks like they got rid of the black rebel uniforms which in my opinion were the best uniforms in the league and now I’m a little miffed. #wnba
The Phoenix Mercury have released photos of their new uniforms.

Once again, I am asking you to check out who is cited as a source in this NPR piece. I was wondering why NPR was randomly talking about unmarried mothers - two of the sources for this piece are the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
Forty percent of babies in the U.S. are born to unmarried mothers. Increasingly, those moms are over 30, at a time when teen pregnancy has fallen off a cliff and births are declining for younger women.
How women over 30 are rewriting the single mom narrative in America

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime
Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Having failed at forcing AI on people, they now resort to threats about the economy. He’s not wrong though: if you have mutual funds or if your pension is invested in mutual funds - anywhere in the world - there’s a chance that you’re exposed.
One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

Dallas is hinting pretty clearly that they’re going for Awa Fam. They’ve put her in all their socials even today. You gotta feel for Lauren who was speculated first pick almost all summer and now drops to fourth and maybe more because I don’t know that DC needs another traditional centre. #wnba

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.
You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

It may be hard to believe, but Twitter was once a useful public space instead of a weird monetization scheme for racist ragebait chatbots.
