Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

A hardship contract. The fact that this woman Odyssey Sims was on a hardship contract... and is making game typing buckets in game 5 of the WNBA semifinals is insane.

Incredibly brave and powerful statement from Phee. Unheard of, but necessary, stance from the face of a league 🫡
Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.
She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

I think if you're an aspiring NBA fan, you should actively avoid learning anything about math and the salary cap. It will only bring you misery.

Eight players on the Pacers are averaging 10+ points in the NBA Finals.
No team in any NBA postseason series (including best-of-5 and best-of-3) has EVER had 8 players play every game and average double figures. 🤯

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t?
So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
