Today is Black Women's Equal Pay Day.

And in 2026, Black women are STILL only making 65 cents on the dollar.

Pay Black women. Period.

Family and supporters gathered in Ocean Springs, Mississippi to celebrate Nolan Wells, remembering his kindness, talent, and the impact he had on those around him. As his loved ones continue seeking clarity surrounding his death, the community remains committed to standing with them through grief and the pursuit of truth. 🖤

Dope AF for their fam; and Marcus seems like a standup guy

[bill hofheimer @bhofheimer_espn]

Congrats to ESPN's @mspears96. His son, Marcus Jr. - the No. 1 hoops player in @SCNext's Class of 2027, has committed to @TexasMBB. He will join big sis Cari, who was the No. 1 volleyball recruit in '25 and plays for @TexasVolleyball.

Marcus is one proud pop! #HookEm 🤘🏽

Keep your head up Coco — hell of a match 🎾

Coco Gauff walks off the Wimbledon court after giving it her all 👏

Gauff fell in a thrilling three-set match in the semifinals against Karolína Muchová.

#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:

“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”

On shaking ref’s hand postgame:

“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”

NBA version of Kirk Cousins lol

Tobias Harris closing in on $330,000,000 career NBA earnings.

Un-freaking real.

Im grateful we have Justice Brown in the seat — she consistently stands on business.

[Janai Nelson @JNelsonLDF]

The first paragraph of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s concurrence is a devastating takedown of Justice Thomas’s heinous opinion:

“The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.”

[Maruka Walker @_Imaruka]

Spurs should call Bron! Young bucks carry water in the reg season and he’s perfect calming force , steer ship in playoffs which they were missing in the finals.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Teacher. Mentor. Protector. Preacher.

Thank you to the dads, bonus dads, and father figures who wore many hats, showed up, and held it down. We love you.

Happy Father's Day.

In terms of impact on game, Olivia Miles is best rookie I can recall since Candace Parker.

[Maruka Walker @_Imaruka]

We have instances like this every day seemingly but the VP is dumbfounded when Whoopi asks what vendetta does the administration have against black people.

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

The federal government asked a judge to halt a reparations program that offered Black people in Evanston, Illinois $25,000 to direct descendants of residents who faced housing discrimination in the city between 1919 and 1969

Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshippers were murdered during Bible study at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston.

Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney. Cynthia Hurd. Susie Jackson. Ethel Lance. Rev. Depayne Middleton-Doctor. Tywanza Sanders. Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr. Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton. Myra Thompson.

We say their names and remember the sacredness of their lives.

This was not only a mass shooting. It was a heinous act of white supremacy carried out in a house of worship. We must tell the truth about that hatred, grieve what it stole, and remain committed to dismantling the violence of racism in every form.

Lot of promise ahead for Spurs but losing all 4 games in the same way will and should haunt them.

[Maruka Walker @_Imaruka]

Congrats to Knicks!! Can’t help but appreciate everyone in their organization except Dolan.

[Maruka Walker @_Imaruka]

Jalen Brunson hasn’t looked like he’s enjoyed any of these finals. But tonight especially he is an assassin on the court.

[Van Lathan Jr @VanLathan]

I can’t believe that happened.

[Maruka Walker @_Imaruka]

Spurs are resilient but that was the series. What a collapse
