Everyone on the right got pissed off when I noticed the state of the art circulation and filtration system Obama had added to the Reflecting Pool 16 years ago was removed by Trump. Now we find out that Trump *did* remove it. This isn't hard to deduce. Anything Obama did will be removed and destroyed. We paid good money for that system only to be charged $14 million to have the pool painted and the filtration system removed. This was a money laundering scheme. Nothing more.

people call it burnout like it’s a bad week..

fuck no girl, I mean neurodivergent burnout.

the “can’t make a phone call, questioning who you are, tiredness that a years worth of sleep can’t cure, executive dysfunction holding me in a chokehold” kind.. and I masked through it all for YEARS..

You cannot humble me… my confidence was not built from compliments.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.

Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.

Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Few actors can boast of the kind of career @erikaalexanderthegreat has cultivated for 40 years. I chatted with her about it extensively for The AV Club (and yes, it was absolutely incredible).

"I have lived with the stories & the journey of my parents & the pain of displacement & exile my whole life," actor and star of The Pitt @SepidehMoafi tells me. "This has fueled my advocacy work & my work as an artist," including as an ambassador for @RESCUEorg. #WorldRefugeeDay

When people start believing the outcome was decided before the process began, institutions have a problem.

The DOJ is facing those questions over Gavin Newsom.
Pete Hegseth is facing those questions over military promotions.

Different controversies. The same uncomfortable question:
Are decisions being made on the merits, or is something else driving the result?

Pete Hegseth says people are reading too much into this. Maybe.

But when Black officers and women find themselves at the center of promotion controversies, and the Secretary of Defense has a long history of attacking diversity initiatives, the questions are not going away.

Neither is the paper trail.

For decades, William Darity has done the math that most policymakers won’t touch. In this conversation, he breaks down the racial wealth gap household by household, makes the case for why neither entrepreneurship nor baby bonds will close it alone, and explains what genuine economic freedom would actually require.

Draymond Green says basketball is no longer a poor kid's game: “It's a rich kid's game”

“I didn't learn how to do a proper individual workout till I got to college. Growing up I'm going to hoop. Where's the nearest run. Drop me off, I'll play all day. That's what we did. We hooped all day. I think there's a huge benefit to that because you just learn to see the game”

“It's different when somebody just putting you in a position to tell you to do this move. How do you use your creativity? How do you learn if somebody just say do this? How do you know what your game is if you never tap into it and just figure it out”

“I think there's a time and place for a trainer and I think with where the game has gone, you need those resources in order to be successful”

“I feel like basketball used to be a poor man's game. Poor kids played it. We were poor. We had nothing and it was our way out. Basketball is not a poor kid's game no more. Basketball is a rich kid game”

“The days of seeing LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from a single mom, those days are numbered. Because if you don't have the resources these days, you can't make it. But that’s also why you don't see as great basketball as you did before, because there's no imagination”

“Everybody's doing the same thing, playing the same way. I think a lot of that is due sometimes to having trainers. You just become a carbon copy of somebody else the trainer created”

THROWBACK: Nine years ago, ditzy Kayleigh McEnany decided to pet me on the arm like a dog while she was disparaging me, and that did not end well. Lol. Imagine the audacity of this white woman arguing access to this Black man’s body under the false banner of patriotism! Turn the glove inside out: what Black man could ever argue access to a white woman’s body? Too many noosed-neck dangling from Southern trees for that. So, NO MA’AM, we are not doing that! #UnhandMe #HappyJuneteenth

@Lizzs_Lockeroom Ppl rooted for their fav
gladiators. There is a really good Real Sports w Bryant Gumbel episode that dives into wealthy men being sponsors & donors to football programs but don't allow their kids to play.
