Hiding in Plain Sight

you do not have to lionize a retiring Hall of Fame pro athlete who treated everyone like shit

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

I love gen z humor ngl. Reminds me of those old tumblr memes.

I’ll check it out and report back 🫡

I might have to check that out. I’ve seen some previews and the friends comparisons is a turnoff for me ngl

This piece is an absolute must read

You get to see how the Heritage foundation absolutely scripted everything that the administration is doing right now

Folks be sleep on the zydeco

Ask them to explain what is bad about being a boy and they'll tell you "you can't say anything to women without them accusing you of being inappropriate." There is so much you can say between "nothing" and "sexual harassment."

Like I dunno, I’ve never had a problem being able to bro out with the boys while also managing to remember that those not the boys are also human beings worthy of respect and consideration. It feels weird to even have to say that part.

No.

The NBA national television partners shit on the product and act like we should all have better things to do than waste our time with it.

The rest of the media that covers the sport does a great job of celebrating basketball when the NBA does good basketball.

They could not, as evidenced by the Executive Orders Biden signed which were immediately challenged in court by the GOP & their operatives.

Even rule making attempts by the Department of Education were immediately challenged.

The Biden/Harris admin tried every avenue they had.

every day life feels like living in the ghost of a feeling. instead of honoring new sensations and possibilities, we are taught to clamor for echoes.

This is what America needs.
This is not a challenge to just the Democrats.

Black creators gotta step up.
Watched a YTvideo on history of basketball and the white creator, seemingly without malice, omitted the history of the ABA and why it was created in the first place. Also glossed over why Kareem left Milwaukee.

Black history is being told by ppl without stakes in it.

Guess we are doing this again.
We’re not gonna abandon the red states we’re gonna build solidarity with the citizens inside the rightwing autocratic core.

Stigma…we are making progress but my hope is that I will live to see that day black people freely talk about mental health and the ways we support eachother

TIME SUBSCRIBE During the 2016 Rio Olympics, the women's and men's U.S. basketball teams again stayed on a cruise ship. Players from both teams, a group of NBA and WNBA stars, were sitting around one night, having a few laughs, a few drinks, and talking some serious smack, as is the habit of super competitive and successful athletes. Draymond Green, a noted NBA rabble-rouser known more for his defensive instincts, physicality, passing skills, and penchant for drawing technical fouls and suspensions than his shooting and scoring ability, was going on about something. Taurasi said, "Hey, Draymond, how does it feel to be the only person in this room who's never been double-teamed?"

Good Lord she ethered Draymond.

Pardon me for dipping my toe into women’s business.

Y’all are not the problem for not budging on the love that you require and deserve. Keep the bar where it is and, in time, a man will not just meet the bar, but actually lift it higher.

All else aside, choosing to see this as an attempt at some grand geo strategic move rather than just “shiny rocks! Gimme!” is the most magicalist of thinking.

Mind you, they’ll give you $2 and a trading card if you try trading in a game you paid $60+ for, but sure, Black people are the issue.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
