If I was a prominent player in the #WNBA, and people were trying to tie me to something that seriously opposed my values and who I am as a person, there would not be enough microphones for me to yell into denouncing that. There would be no “middle of the road” stance. Just a thought.

Full quote on Natalie Nakase’s answer to being asked about what she thinks about regarding the ongoing Sophie Cunningham/trans-athletes debate that's swept across the WNBA - kenzo fukuda on x "Im all about women, little girls deserving to play & that includes trans women...im all about inclusivity"
The #Valkyries are undefeated on the Chase Freedom court. #WNBA
Matt Lively: "Tip Hayes, she just moved into 28th in the #WNBA all-time scoring list. What's it like to have a teammate like her? Janelle Salaün: "She's fucking good, what can I say? She makes everybody better." Matt Lively: "Apologies for that..." cr: @mattblively.bsky.social #Valkyries #GSV
Streaming the #WPBL while on a train to go see #BayFC after a morning of watching some excellent #WNBA games. Also got tickets to see the Valks tomorrow! GOOD WEEKEND FOR WOMEN’S SPORTS!!

Welcome to the Tempo, Aneesah! The Toronto Tempo have officially acquired Aneesah Morrow.
“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”
I cannot say this enough: fuck Sophie Cunningham. #WNBA
Sophie Cunningham doubles down and calls trans people a threat to children. But don't worry, she's there to "love."
RIP to the Golden State Valkyries nine-game win streak, the longest in the #WNBA this season and the second-longest ever during a franchise’s first two seasons. Only the 1998 Houston Comets (!!) did better with a 15-game streak. May its memory be a blessing.
This is a *fantastic* video that explains exactly WTF is going on with Taylor Farms and how tracing works TLDR: - they are responsible - the false positive was only on one of several samples - it’s difficult to test parasites - there may still be other sources - Taylor Farms is being shady AF
The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.
I want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.
They also supply McDonald's, Burger King, Chipotle, Subway, and Wendy's.
This framing is so disgusting and irresponsible. Yes, Taylor Farms supplies Taco Bell. THEY ALSO SUPPLY TONS OF OTHER RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES. People will take "avoid Taco Bell" as the lesson which is NOT HELPFUL. www.wcvb.com/article/cycl...
this is the fox news version of "he's fucking lying"
"Fox News has not seen the evidence yet and is not in a position to evaluate the accuracy of the president's statement and claims"
This speech is quite literally an impeachable offense. The President is trying to undermine faith in US elections and to delegitimize the elections of public officials.
3. Call your reps over this absolutely insane speech. Yes, both Dems and Republicans. Get them to respond to you, script TK. 4. Check in on your AAPI friends. The last time this administration started targeting China, it led to an uptick in nationwide hate crimes. Literally, a UCSD study:

Okay, nvm - I'm deleting my original post (about China), because this swerved into a different direction, which honestly, I should have expected. Things to do right now: 1. Check your voter registration at iwillvote.com. 2. Text five friends/family to do the same tonight.

Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections. And when he sends ICE agents to the polls, then we must turn civic action into civil disobedience and take to the streets. Sit in. Protest. Withhold our labor. Everything must be on the table.
Someone let me know if the lettuce from one of his taco salads strikes while he’s on.
