Jim Peterson is a fine analyst, but he needs to stop with such nonsense. Jaylen’s move was nice, no doubt, but reminiscent of Mike against the Knicks?!? That was literally one of the greatest single plays in NBA history.

It’s Friday but I woke up with Blue Monday playing on the jukebox in my brain. Confusing, but a banger.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

MINNEAPOLIS - TODAY
This is urgent & a huge opportunity to draw public attention to demand our city & Target to stand with immigrant communities.
If you've seen folks talking about how quiet & empty Cedar-Riverside &c have been in the last 48 hours & are moved by that, find a way to show up.

from UNIDOS:
Press conf TODAY Thu, Dec 4
@ 2:30pm @ Target on Lake St in the midst of this attack on Somali community, to demand Target prohibit use of property for ICE staging, & ask people demand a stronger separation ordinance of the mayor & city council. It should be about a 30-60 min event.

It’s so cold that I have to give myself a pep talk to get from my car to the gym doors. The entrance is like 30’ away, but it feels much further.

I’m sitting in the office at Ella Baker right now, watching kids frolic all over the new playground. It’s awesome.
The new playground at Ella Baker magnet school is part of a broader trend of Minneapolis schools adding accessible playgrounds that all students can enjoy.

If you’re organizing your neighborhood for ice watch, and doing canvassing… in addition to whistles you need to stress
DONT CALL 911 on ICE!
We don’t have evidence *yet* but we strongly suspect they’re monitoring those calls.
Call your neighbors, not the cops.

In case you wanted to know what was going through the heads of some Chicago police as the feds throw tear gas and make arrests throughout the city, Jeremy Gorner and I have you covered here. What they have to say may surprise you.
