@netw3rk.bsky.social You know what I’m surprised I haven’t seen yet about #Peacemaker? The fact that James Gunn literally had Peacemaker spoil the whole season’s arc in his opening dance move. Look at what shape those arms make!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Here is the image with alt text

tuckermaymysteries My name is Tucker May. In April I married the love of my life, Barbara Marques. Right now I fear for her life.

A week and a half ago she was taken by ICE at our properly scheduled green card meeting at the Federal Building downtown. At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested. The reason for her detention was a missed court date from 2019 which my wife was never notified about.

We have been working with lawyers since that time to correct the situation. The Adelanto detention center has actively been keeping my wife from correspondence with her lawyer by delaying in giving her documents that were mailed to the facility.

Last night, she was taken from the Adelanto facility to an undisclosed destination despite our lawyer having filed a temporary restraining order to stop this from happening. They could be sending her anywhere in the world and we have no way of knowing.

I'm asking for help in bringing to the attention of media and authorities these multiple lapses in due process and proper procedure through the unwarranted deportation of a woman whose legal marriage has been duly recognized as legitimate by immigration through the 1130 petition process.

Please, if you have any contacts who could help, send them this information.

I think the league should handle it. set up a department that vets all third party deals. teams investigating their own players' earnings is toxic dynamic.

Jason Concepcion @netw3rk.bsky.social · 14d

so I really hope the NBA's investigation includes an analysis of how their 2019 look at Uncle Dennis found nothing wrong.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 14d

Thing is, a violation occurs as soon as a request was made, even if it is rejected. Per the CBA:

Jason Concepcion @netw3rk.bsky.social · 14d

we're in agreement wrt evidence. my issue is: the nba investigated the uncle dennis akss and cleared them -- how did that happen? and further, how, if they investigated, did they miss aspiration?

Jason Concepcion @netw3rk.bsky.social · 14d

but also when you succeed, apparently our investigation will miss it!

Jason Concepcion @netw3rk.bsky.social · 14d

I guess what irks me is if a rep asks for all sorts of illegal stuff in multiple negotiations with multiple teams, someone from the league should say "Hey don't do that." Not "well, it looks like it didn't happen." (Also now we know it did.)

That's what I mean. Silver has wide latitude. But all his comments make it seem as he won't act without concrete smoking gun type evidence when he has the power to act on circumstantial evidence.

Jason Concepcion @netw3rk.bsky.social · 14d

Silver keeps framing the bar as quite high! And, idk, feels weird that a rep can ask for all sorts of illegal stuff under the cap and that's totally fine! No one will say Hey don't do that.

Jason Concepcion @netw3rk.bsky.social · 14d

this part from the unc dennis article at the athletic should be a bigger deal. cap circumvention is "a cardinal sin" but only if the NBA can prove it happened (a high bar, we're discovering) not if a rep asks for lots of it in negotiations. this is basically a don't ask, don't tell kind of set up.
