Larry Hoover has been out of solitary confinement in ADX Supermax for over a year. Ppl opposing his release said that removing him from isolation would cause havoc. He’s been nothing but perfect while out of solitary. At 75, I think he has proven that he deserves to be home…free
Good news for #KarmeloAnthony Achieving a favorable result in a high profile appeals case is possible when it has political implications & an incredible amount of noise. #CrystalMason is a great example. We worked to get Her case was overturned after she was politically targeted
@stephenasmith He deserves a statue, also. If they are given to commentators or other figures who didn’t play, but are representative of a franchise, immortalizing their involvement with said franchise is appropriate. Chick Hearn and Harry Caray come to mind.
I was in awe of Victor Wembanyama’s performance tonight - not only did he score 32 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, he also became the 2nd youngest player to have 30, 5 and 5 in the victory over the Knicks on their home court (behind some kid who played for the Lakers) 😂
The entire Spurs team deserves a lot of credit for believing they could win and coming out and executing their game plan. They couldn’t have won without help from Castle, who stepped up tonight with 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists - and four other Spurs ended in double figures: Harper scored 13 points, Champagnie and Fox had 12 points, and Vassell finished with 11.
The Thunder are not expected to show interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they have shown interest in Evan Mobley, per @sam_amick
“League sources have long maintained that Oklahoma City would not take part in the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes that will dominate the summertime conversation, but this sort of stunning finish is enough to re-spark that conversation. Nothing should be off the table when the end goal wasn’t reached. There has long been chatter about the Thunder having interest in Cleveland big man Evan Mobley as well, but Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman insisted in an end-of-season news conference that Mobley wasn’t going anywhere.”

If the Democrats don't make rebalancing and expanding the Supreme Court a top priority for whenever (if?) they next get into power, then I don't know what to say anymore. The GOP-packed court is the biggest block on progress in this country and has been for a while.
Today in Chicago we had Larry Hoover’s clemency hearing. Myself, along with Judge John Gleason, and Larry’s Wife presented a strong case for his release. The State’s Attorney opposed our petition with hearsay and myth. Wild that they would push back without real reason to do so.
Jesus giving Judas grace, though knowing his betrayal, and Judas not asking for mercy, instead choosing to hang himself, is one of the more under examined but important parts of the resurrection. Frankly, it reflects a human problem most have. Selfishness. Greed. Cowardice.
Pooh Sheisty took 2 Ls: 1. the Feds have evidence of the circumstances of his arrest; 2. Gucci should be able to void signing the release of Sheisty from his label since he clearly signed under duress. He made his circumstances worse without achieving his intended goal
