The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.
the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure
Jeanne Gibson, one of the last surviving Rosie the Riveters, died on July 29, 2026. She was 100 Years old. Born in Minneapolis in 1926, she was only 18 when she moved to Seattle to weld U.S. Navy destroyers at Todd Pacific Shipyards. Rest in peace, Jeanne
“Billionaires create wealth.” No, workers do that. The word you’re looking for is “hoard.”
Here in Chicago, where we unfortunately know Rahm Emanuel well, we marvel at how he gets the national press to help him manufacture the myth that he's some sort of visionary. No one here forgets that his administration covered up a police murder.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for genociders, racists, transphobes, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. -A prophecy re: the ultimate defeat of the M*GA Barbie of the Corn + all TERFs + TERF apologists. Revelation 21:8. #WNBA
we’ve reached the point in the Sophie Cunningham discourse where cis people are arguing with other cis people about what some other cis person actually meant by her transphobic comments and let’s give her the benefit of the doubt and meanwhile trans people are over here dying but like carry on
Exactly. The co-owner of the Storm was right to yell at those two idiots. They should be made to feel unwelcome & the league should not be prioritizing them. The Storm & the league just made everything a million times worse by suspending & fining her.
Sean@stholeary.bsky.social · last wk.The WNBA made the fatal error: treating MAGA bigots as legitimate people. They are not. You ignore and/or tell them to kick rocks.
The Indiana Fever play tomorrow in Portland and Sunday in Minnesota. There are "Support Sophie Cunningham" transphobic rallies planned for both cities. Fuck all the way off. #WNBA
The flood gates were open the moment the Seattle Storm apologized to the bigots. Now they're emboldened to be their worst selves knowing the Storm won't do anything. If Cathy Engelbert is half the commissioner she thinks she is, she needs to condemn this behavior in no uncertain terms.
Magnus Lehnsherr@i-magnus.bsky.social · last wk.The Seattle Storm have decided bigots are welcome at Climate Change Arena. "Everyone who attends a Storm game deserves to feel welcome, and we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every fan is treated with respect." -Seatle Storm to anti-trans bigots #WNBA

ICE plans to target Haitians as Temporary Protected Status is set to end, sources say

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.
There’s a not so covert effort to feminise these glasses underway. All their ads feature women and they are primarily collaborating with female celebrities and athletes. This weekend at #wnba all star Flau’jae Johnson and Natasha Cloud both dropped ads for the glasses.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 2w agoFWIW, Meta was fully aware of how these glasses would primarily be used. The glasses were designed to erase consent, and that is why they exist. Anything that they do that suggests they want to ameliorate this use is an attempt to win the PR battle and manipulate public opinion.
For the last year and a half, DoorDash has been silent as delivery drivers in DC have been hunted in the streets and even killed by ICE and other federal police. Now, the company has come out in support of #HR9720 — the blatant attack on DC Home Rule — just so it can earn more money.
Two teams headed in different directions...
too long, didn't watch summary: It's the credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax), passing information to Thompson Reuters' "CLEAR" product, which looks like an alternative Palantir that's just as evil and that not enough of us have been paying any attention to. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson...
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 2w agoYou opened a credit card. ICE now knows where you live. Here's how when you open a credit card your address leaves your bank, goes through middlemen companies, and ends up with ICE. ICE plans to use this data for immigration and 'voter fraud'.

This Dallas announcer is the worst. What do you mean "Li Yueru doesn't speak a lot of English..." Save your bull----. It's old and tired. #wnba
I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:
On Friday, CPD officials sat before Chicago’s Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights and assured alders that they didn’t need to investigate Border Patrol agent Charles Exum’s shooting of Marimar Martinez because the FBI was on it.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3w agoBREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.
Holly Rowe doing a great job as a color commentator. I'm not always a fan of hers, but her knowledge adds a lot to this broadcast. #wnba
This would be a huge scandal for any other president. A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year.
One thing I'm noticing from a lot of people here, and the media reports surrounding the arrest of the Tates, is how many are using the term "child pornography" Children cannot consent and therefore it is not pornography It is Child Sexual Abuse Material or CSAM and it's vital to call it that
