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 ✊

Washington Post reporter Dan Diamond on Twitter: Trump has proactively trashed media, saying he’ll get “horrible” reviews. But he’s been loose and funny. And his delivery is far tighter and on-script than usual speeches. Crowd here — packed with MAGA fans — has reliably laughed at his jokes. “I love you!” one woman yells. --- Sign of the vibe shift? 2016: Rock band CHEAP TRICK mocked idea of performing at RNC that was nominating Trump Tonight: same band is covering “Rock and Roll All Nite” to honor KISS in big finale at Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

The entire point of telling people this far out that no, I will never vote for Newsom, is so they can choose someone who doesn't suck. If they go ahead and nominate him anyway, that's not on me (and he's still not getting my vote).

id be slightly less angry at dem leadership saying theyre only interested in throwing political punches on “kitchen table issues” if they were currently out there landing punches on “kitchen table issues”
