Aces waiving Chennedy Carter is wild. Their leading scorer off the bench and potential 6th player of the year??? Definitely had to be cause of locker room issues.

[Las Vegas Aces @LVAces]

Thank you, Chennedy.

The Moana live action movie comes out this Friday and I’ve seen such a lack of enthusiasm on social media about it.

USA would’ve been better off if Balogun were suspended. Terrible game for him and everybody else. Embarrassing for a host country.

There are times that I would go to Yankee games during struggling stretches and at least you’d see the team have some fighting spark. I’ve been to 5 Yankee games this season and I’ve never seen the team so unenthusiastic, exhausted and defeated before. The games are just flat out boring now.

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

Sunday in New York.

Allisha Gray is so real. Did not give a single damn 💀😂

[Underdog WNBA @UnderdogWNBA]

Allisha Gray before the fourth quarter:

"Refs are trash, but hey, we moving on from that."

[Rodney @Roddneyyy]

The New York Liberty hand the Minnesota Lynx their 5th loss of the season! What a win right after their Commissioner’s Cup victory!

Dallas next!

#Liberty

@WrestleOps @FalseFinishHQ Boring.

@Yordanarchist Todd Blanche refuses to release the remainder of the Epstein Files. Donald Trump refuses to cooperate on his ties onto Epstein despite being his best friend. Textbook pedophile defenders. New York Times is fake news remember? Don’t go linking them now.

Zohran Mamdani just gave the best speech the Democratic Party has seen in years that will also transcend to moderates and independents. Patriotism shouldn’t only be reserved for the far right MAGA folks who stain it. We on the left are also just as American. My Mayor 🫡

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism. 

American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.

And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.

For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.

We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.

The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.

It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.

@Yordanarchist Defending pedophiles and befriending them isn’t a part of the Constitution but Trump and the GOP seems to lavish in that.

[Rodney @Roddneyyy]

@NBA_NewYork The NBA saw Wemby miss multiple clutch free throws in the Finals and said not on my watch 🤦‍♂️

[Rodney @Roddneyyy]

@NBAPR @NBA @NBASummerLeague @utahjazz @warriors @SacramentoKings NBA saw their Golden Boy miss clutch free throws in the Finals and now want to implement this rule in the league 😂
