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 ✊

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

The First Amendment pretty explicitly protects the right to be a fucking bitch to ICE.
white women and queers - and people who love them - this is a good week to look GOP voters you know in the eye and ask them if they think it should be legally permissible for men to shoot you or your loved one in the head on the basis of being a “fucking bitch”
