Two theories about the physical assault allowed on ball handlers:
1. OKC did this so much it’s like an entire town driving 66; they’ve given up trying to enforce reach ins etc
2. Some Emirati bigwig told Silver the league was too soft

She’s right.
America was founded, economically, on slavery, and what we know today as law enforcement has its truest roots in slave-catcher brigades.
I guess what I’m saying is: fuck what we’re founded on. The house is burning down. I want to jail the arsonists and build a better house.

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

“Agent-involved shooting” could mean anything, including that the executors were the victims

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

As @cohen489.bsky.social wrote so eloquently, elected officials have become oblivious to what constituents want—this actually is a both sides problem.
Dems (like many of us) just wish upon a star the icy rampage goes away, so their answer… is to fund it.

When we talk cheapo owners, it’s usually those poor snuggly small markets (and Miami, which proudly boasts of record growth and the dubious honor of being most expensive)
But Reinsdorf is in chicago, owns part of an RSN, etc - yet couldn’t pay part of Robert’s $ to get, idk not Truman Pauley
