One of the greatest track and field careers in NCAA history came to an end last month as @svsuathletics's Cheyenne Nesbit (@cheyxwilli) became the first woman to win four consecutive championships in the heptathlon.

Next up for the Bay City native: the Olympic trials.

Israeli settlers broke into a Palestine private house in south mount Hebron, they sat with the family without the family permission, they acted as if it is their house, they smoked cigarettes, they are intimidating the families to force them to leave .

“I am a Holocaust survivor. I experienced as a child every single thing a Gazan child is experiencing on a daily basis. There’s no excuse 4 the slaughter of 15K children. I am proud to be here with you.”

Think about how fast this country sent hordes of riot police with tear gas, batons, and tasers to arrest anti-war students & their teachers.
Now think about every medical bill you've paid, every homeless person you've seen, every school that relies on bake sales to buy supplies.

Can we just take a minute to reflect on how fucking INSANE it is that STATE POWER is being used to put down protests of American citizens, violating their rights on behalf of a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT.

If you look closely at this picture you’ll see buns, spandex, & full length leggings. Each a choice for the athlete wearing it.

Every 4 years there’s fake outrage as women track & field athletes try to gently explain that they could compete literally covered head to toe if they wanted to, only to get talked over by people who have never watched a meet besides the Olympics.

"No one colonizes innocently, that no one colonizes with impunity either; that a nation which colonizes, that a civilization which justifies colonization—and therefore force—is already a sick civilization, a civilization which is morally diseased."

I've also been increasingly reflecting on how so many can cheer this on, and each time I think about what James Baldwin said.

Little off topic but when I was 19 I worked at a steakhouse & once a customer told me to compliment the chef for him. I tell the line cook, “Hey the guy at my table said to tell you it was really good,” and he says, “I don’t give a fuck what that guy thinks.”

I can't think what words to write on here any more.

[Double Down News @DoubleDownNews]

“I saw in Auschwitz that if a dominant group wants to dehumanise others, as the Nazis dehumanise me, the dominant group must first dehumanise themselves, the same holds nowadays for Israel.

I am appalled about how hateful, how dehumanised, that they do not see any human aspect in any Palestinian anymore.

The Zionists have no right whatsoever to use the Holocaust for any purpose, they have given up everything which has to do with humanity and with empathy”

The ruling class keeps hoping Gaza will be forgotten. And everyone else keeps refusing to forget.

Nesbitt finishes with an indoor PR 2:17.41 in the 800 to complete her victory at the @USATF Pentathlon with 4475 points.

That score obliterates her previous @NCAADII all-time best of 4292 points.

Nesbitt now rates No. 15 on the all-time collegiate list combining all divisions.

She’s gonna unload that thing when she gets home & the lack of weight is going to make her smack herself in the face the next time she goes to take a sip

You cannot convince me that this isn’t some kind of mental illness
