Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT.
Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

The more people you can get to campaign for democratic or progressive candidates the better. Whether the race they’re highlighting is for town council or US senate, it’s still important . Not everyone is motivated by the same things to show up on Election Day.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”
It's so transparent what's going on here.

Just a reminder to my fellow Minnesotans living through this nightmare, Majority Whip, Tom Emmer, was all over MSM yesterday and today supporting the armed occupation of his own constituents and his state. This is not a man who deserves the Congressional seat he currently occupies. He needs to go.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

“Has the officer been suspended?”
“He’s spending time with his family.”
So: paid vacation, while they cover it up.

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD.
There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got.
Something to keep in mind.

trump has spent more than 10 years conditioning his cult to be violent & trying to normalize it with the rest of America.
An ICE agent gunning down a civilian is tragic, but in no way surprising.
This was sadly predictable.
This is why they wear masks.

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?
