[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

Statements like this is precisely why NAACP is telling recruits to avoid SEC schools. Couldn’t have timed it better

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Disgusting racism. I’m sick and tired of Republicans getting away with blatant racism. This rhetoric should be unequivocally condemned, not ignored by GOP leadership that’s too afraid to condemn bigotry. 

Rep. Kiggans must resign.

Right wing forces infiltrated Black spaces through sports and hip-hop. Every election cycle there’s a new “character” tasked with the job of sowing doubt and animosity towards the political process among younger Black men.

I’m not here to tell you who to vote for, all I’ll say is that this trick worked and you all see the consequences: Black history being ripped out of history books and museums, targeted firings of Black people in government jobs, skyrocketing Black unemployment, grants and funds for Black people destroying under anti-DEI initiatives. We have to push back on these clowns who are paid to sabotage our community.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

more of this kind of reporting please!! @ShawnMcCreesh

@Caygiay Not an exaggeration, best part of the episode haha. So well done.

[Cal Football @CalFootball]

From Berkeley to the Super Bowl, cheering on Jaylinn Hawkins & Craig Woodson 👊🐻

@covercorner47 @CalFootball @CAgovernor One of the all-time best people I’ve been around!

[Drae Blackwell-Harris @covercorner47]

@CalFootball @CAgovernor We just need to adopt KP as one
Of our own. Let’s give him an honorary degree. He’s a big part of the CAL family….although he played in Eugene

[Michael Rodnick @MJRodnick]

I would love nothing more than Craig Woodson and Jaylinn Hawkins to play together for years to come.

Hawkins is currently on a one-year $1.8m deal.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

BREAKING: As Donald Trump cancels free admission to National Parks on MLK Day, California will be offering FREE entry at more than 200 participating state parks.

Honor MLK. Get outdoors. And stick it to an old man with a fragile ego.

[Vincent Bug Rivera @bugrivera_]

@adamscochran Not a fumble if that was his goal, unfortunately.

[TheRealThelmaJohnson @TheRealThelmaJ1]

Giving ICE Agents student loan forgiveness is like giving Stephen Miller a blow dryer

[rex volcano @RexVolcano]

it gets forgotten/footnoted a lot but UCLA admin absolutely did not want Cal to survive realignment. They wanted us relegated so the LA schools could recruit the whole west coast. Instead, they owe Cal $10 mil a year & they’re worse at football *and* basketball. Sorry about that!

[Cal-Hi Sports @CalHiSports]

NFL playoff QBs from Calif
Josh Allen (Firebaugh)
Sam Darnold (San Clemente)
Jordan Love (Liberty, Bak)
Aaron Rodgers (Pleasant Valley, Chico)
CJ Stroud (Rancho Cucamonga)
Bryce Young (Mater Dei)
That's six of 14. Almost half.

[Tre Boston @TreBos10]

Stop It OG! Carolina Cam every single defense knew 1 can change the game. INSTANTLY!! Imagine saying a MVP of the NFL wasn’t a game changer! We gotta stop all this pro vs pro cappin! People running with these weak takes bro. 😂😂😂

[Gerald McCoy @Geraldini93]

He was a game changer his entire career until he 2018 vs Pittsburgh when he tore his shoulder up. He was never the same after that. When we game planned it was all about him. Not the scheme. The scheme was basic. HE was the scheme. The couple years he played with Steve we game planned for him. But after that, even with Greg there and as good as he was. Our only focus was Cam. He played with young C-Mac. So he wasn’t him yet. But dogg he stepped foot in the league as a game changer. People forget what he was doing man. Go watch him vs Patriots 2013 and tell me he wasn’t a game changer.

[Vic Wharton III @vicwhartoniii]

Best in the NATION!
On & off the field, we TAKE what we deserve. Nothing is GIVEN.
Proud of these men for earning All-American honors!
This is what happens when you bet on yourself!
It’s not easy being a TAKER!
Who’s next??
