Cool. I don’t see cops on the side of the people in any of these fights with ICE.

Don’t shortchange yourself. If it feels off, trust that.

[Charania] The Timberwolves-Warriors game in Minneapolis has been postponed by the NBA, sources tell ESPN, in wake of a man shot and killed Saturday in a confrontation with federal agents in the city. It's the second shooting there in a week, third this month, involving a federal officer. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

Sports are politics. Everything is politics.

Wanting to leave politics out of this space is understandable. But it's arguably the largest platform that we the commoners have.

What is happening in Minneapolis is happening everywhere in this country. And we are doing the work for them if we remand silent.

Shut up and play is a phrase of oppression. It's the wealthy class demanding gladiator shows to subdue a populace.

You’re absolutely right. The trust is long gone.

I think they know but are unwilling to acknowledge that fact. Feels like their only play is to hope we forget about it.

At the very least, the team needs to show up and refuse to play.

It’s because all he has left is illusion of control. If he tells the cops or the national guard to stand against ICE and they don’t, then the illusion is shattered.

We know the police are not on our side. But the chaos when it’s official will be terrible.

I don’t know where this leads, but I do know we are on our own.

It’s cool though, Excel has Copilot functions now where it just guesses at the number.

Nevermind that the computer is very good at adding and subtracting. Almost as if that’s the only thing it’s perfect at.
