The NCAA put a women's basketball team up in a hotel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, which was not just thirty damn miles away from the games in Spokane but also, uh, has been the home for several white nationalist groups.

The NCAA banned South Carolina from hosting championships because of a flag. Now, states across the country have enacted laws attacking women and minorities—laws that materially affect people far more than a piece of fabric. The NCAA has done nothing; this is the result
Utah women were targeted by ‘racial hate crimes’ during NCAA tournament
“To not feel safe in an NCAA tournament environment is messed up,” Utah Coach Lynne Roberts said of Thursday’s incidents in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Two incidents where trucks revved their engines as they drove by the Univ. of Utah team and staff yelling the n-word.
The NCAA put them in a hotel in f'ing Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It's been a Nazi stronghold since 1970s. In 2022, there was a major arrest of Patriot Front members.
Unsafe place.

"I will never forget the sound that I heard, the intimidation of the noise that came from that engine, and the word (N-word)," Green said. "I go to bed and I hear it every night since I've been here... I couldn't imagine us having to stay there and relive those moments."

how are people still falling for this? how are institutions still offering jobs to people who want to get fired?
it's Ilya Shapiro at Georgetown all over again. the *whole point* is to take the job, get fired, and do the cancel culture circuit.

I should be more clear here that when I’m talking about the owner class and their court writers. Not actual journalists, whom I revere.
Because if Trump gets a real second chance at dictatorship, their ability to tell the truth likely won’t just be limited by their own fecklessness.
How the press enables Trump’s second stab at dictatorship
If you follow Marcy Wheeler, you know Trump begging for Putin’s help in 2016 and 2024's floundering impeachment are the same scandal. But only if you follow Marcy.

Trump is about to pull off the biggest grift of his life, and the media is failing to report on the danger.

After Jan 6th, every powerful actor and institution in American public life faced a choice: criminalize the insurrection, or normalize it.
Sadly, many chose to normalize it -- or criminalize it much too slowly. It's a mistake we could end up paying for for a very long time.
