Fans have made a tunnel for the players as they clap them on for a fantastic first season

[Oakland Ballers @OaklandBallers]

We love you Oakland.

[Oakland Ballers @OaklandBallers]

Look at these scenes. Strangers hugging each other. The joy sports bring to a group of people is not measurable but its real and worth fighting for. The people of Oakland came together to ensure baseball stays in the Town. And now the future is bright: We're aiming to deliver a Championship winning season for the best sports fans in the world. Thank you to each and every one of you for being on this journey with us.

Dondrei Hubbard, our star outfielder, lost his mom recently in a tragic and senseless killing in her own home in Texas.

We're asking Ballers fans and the wider Oakland community to chip in to help the family with funeral expenses.

“Our whole ethos of the team is centering fans. So to actually center fans in a way where they can have meaningful participation in the strategy of the game, it felt like this should be done and we’re the team to do it.”

🧵1/4 We believe that the social contract between sports teams and fanbases is broken, and that it’s fans who create the value of a sports team. 

Today we’re launching a community investment campaign that doubles down on that belief by giving fans a real seat at the table.

Data shows that immigrants keep America running. Immigrants are just 14% of the population but:

- pay $580B in taxes/year
- are 16% of nurses and 28% of health aides
- are 25% of ag workers
- are 25% of construction workers
- are 20% of entrepreneurs

Wow — @katzonearth busts Senator Katie Britt on the sex trafficking anecdote she used in her rebuttal, revealing (courtesy of @MarshaBlackburn’s site) it happened to the woman she referred to 20 years ago, in Mexico

Needless to say, Joe Biden was not president of Mexico in 2004

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

Holy moly. This is worth every minute.

Jonathan Katz exposes Katie Britt as a lying sack of shit. 👀

There is no crime surge caused by migrants. It's 100% made up. A right wing invention.

Violent crime is WAY DOWN. The drop in urban murders this year was the largest in the nation's history.

And data shows that migrants commit crimes at rate LOWER than those born here.

[Austin Kocher, PhD @ackocher]

This is a great example of why "polling" people about factual questions is stupid af. Undocumented/illegal immigrants commit crimes at far lower rates than US citizens. Maybe we should poll the public about what color the sky is or what elements make up water. Sheesh.

[Annunciation House @AHouseElPaso]

Rhetoric calling immigrants and refugees arriving at the southern border an "invasion" is dangerous, inaccurate, un-Christian, and un-American: 🧵 (1/5)
