"I've got kids, I'm out here for them...The only way we can do this is through this kind of collective action. This is what punk rock trained us for!" -Protester tells Tina-Desiree Berg at the Minneapolis general strike march against ICE

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Joy alchemists The lessons in rooting for a struggling team, the desire in fandom to be bigger than ourselves, and the hope of community.

"That’s the problem with believing in other human beings. We let each other down so much, but not always. And it’s the “not always” that makes it worth it. We can be beautiful to each other, but only when we try."

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

A deluge of blue Whether NBA players have an obligation to speak up after tragedy, and how we lose our urgency in forced isolation.

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

The only *NBA* players to ever have at least 35 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 4 blocks in the same game:

- Kareem
- Dr. J (only one to do it in playoffs)
- Clyde the Glide (2x)
- Patrick Ewing
- Hakeem (2x)
- D Wade
- Anthony Davis
- James Harden (last to do it, 2019)

A hardship contract. The fact that this woman Odyssey Sims was on a hardship contract... and is making game typing buckets in game 5 of the WNBA semifinals is insane.

Incredibly brave and powerful statement from Phee. Unheard of, but necessary, stance from the face of a league 🫡

Yall need to hear this message that Maya Moore just gave to the next generation:

I think if you're an aspiring NBA fan, you should actively avoid learning anything about math and the salary cap. It will only bring you misery.

The purest form of hoops is watching hoopers hoop, especially if that boy nice

Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil released on bail Khalil left the Louisiana detention center where he's been since March, when ICE agents arrested him over his pro-Palestinian activism. A federal judge ruled the government could no longer detain him.

JUST IN: Khalil left the Louisiana detention center where he's been since March, when ICE agents arrested him over his pro-Palestinian activism. A federal judge ruled the government could no longer detain him.

Eight players on the Pacers are averaging 10+ points in the NBA Finals.

No team in any NBA postseason series (including best-of-5 and best-of-3) has EVER had 8 players play every game and average double figures. 🤯

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t?

So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?"

AOC/Bernie: 70%
Moderate Dems: 30%

NBA final four teams and their last championship:

New York Knicks: 1973
Indiana Pacers: Never
Minnesota Timberwolves: Never
Oklahoma City Thunder: Never*

* won in 1979 as Seattle SuperSonics but Thunder do not hang a banner nor claim this title as their own.

They need to trade copper for an established star on their time line, like Kevin Durant. As we all know, defense wins championships.
