literally the first time in my life i have been happy that there weren’t any NBA games happening — nothing but support and empathy and respect for everyone involved here

[Jared Lax @jaredlax]

@Mcrebouche Hi hi! Miss you friend, hope everything’s good with you ☺️

[Jared Lax @jaredlax]

@Mcrebouche My read of pp. 32-33 of Gorsuch’s opinion is that there’s likely no change for those orgs? He states that no free exercise of religion claims/defenses were before the Court and that future cases where employers raise those claims will “merit careful consideration”

Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.

Gutted. Devastated for the families involved. Staring at my screen trying to comprehend this.

A searing photo of a man and his 23-month-old daughter who drowned in the Rio Grande underscores the perils of the migration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border. https://t.co/y8GmQRth4L

Local journalism 2018 in review -- in every corner of the U.S. this year, local reporters went to work every day looking to expose wrongdoing in their communities. Here’s just some of what they found:

Girl named Riley Morrison asks @StephenCurry30 why his sneakers don’t come in girls sizes. Steph responds.

[Spin Doctor @SpinDr]

Words fail me. This is the Woolsey Fire approaching Malibu as people desparately are trying to evacuate on PCH.

[Nate Boyer @NateBoyer37]

Some are offended, some aren't, it's really that simple. To push roughly 20 million Veterans onto one side or the other of the Anthem debate (bc you know a Vet who feels a certain way) is just stupid. We're as diverse (and sometimes just as stupid) as any other American microcosm

[Marc Caputo @MarcACaputo]

Thomas Joseph Brown is an African-American attorney who lives in Tallahassee

Thomas Jerald Brown is an African-American felon who lived in Daytona

Not the same guy.

But close enough, right?

Brown got purged from the voter rolls for being a felon. He couldn’t vote today

‘I can think of nothing more American.’ — Beto O'Rourke — the man taking on Ted Cruz — brilliantly explains why NFL players kneeling during the anthem is not disrespectful

Since I'm seeing a bunch of zombie takes about "How To Solve The Politics of Immigration" today, a brief thread on my experience covering this issue the last 13 years.

Thread about today’s revocation of the status of El Salvadorans in the US thanks to TPS. https://t.co/b49PJBnxGe

This thread is great. 👇 https://t.co/6arxGakqrF

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As we count down to the new year, we get to reflect and prepare for what’s ahead. For all the bad news that seemed to dominate our collective consciousness, there are countless stories from this year that remind us what's best about America.
