Yeah I can’t get over it.
From not being an active HC or having any experience within the WNBA to being the highest paid coach in WNBA History is white male privilege at work.
Concern over @PhoenixMercury head coach choice is many-layered, including about implicit bias in hiring. A Black woman who played in @WNBA was elevated to Mercury interim head coach to clean up the messes of the previous year and half and worked to rebuild players' confidence ...
I moved back to TX from NM 2 months ago (not willing) college is free, regardless of income. University, community college, trade school. They have universal childcare, and weed is legal. Reproductive healthcare was codified by the Dem legislature. They’re taking 40% of the profits from the oil and gas companies to make the transition to clean energy. Gov. Lujan -Grisham is a fucking rock star. Tori is able to get her education, she’s a resident now, without the burden of student loans. NM sent stimulus payments to all those filing taxes, and (though less) to those undocumented. And if you make less than $4200 mo, you qualify for Medicaid. Be a NM…fuck you Greg Abbott!
@stonershelb Yup, my daughter is asked often if she's Chinese, even from other Natives here in New Mexico. Only her grandfather on her dad's side is white. I'm full Diné, and in high school I was mistaken for Filipino, Asian, or Hawaiian all the time!
Senator Josh Hawley raised a fist in solidarity with January 6th attackers
Rep. Paul Gosar posted a cartoon video that depicted the killing of AOC
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a video in which she said Nancy Pelosi was a "traitor" who deserved to be executed
George Santos lied about nearly everything he told voters about himself before he was elected
None of these politicians have been expelled from Congress, but two brave young men who spoke out against the gun violence claiming the lives of children in Tennessee were wrongly expelled.
We must make this moment count.

#Brackeen SUMMARY: For tribes to “win” this case, #SCOTUS must reject all 3 challenges to #ICWA: Equal Protection, Article 1, & Commandeering. If it accepts any 1 of the challenges, #ICWA as we know it, ends. A decision based on Equal Protection or Article 1 could end Indian law.
The story of YRJ—a little Navajo girl, being raised by the white couple suing to overturn ICWA—was shared by @JanHoffmanNYT for @nytimes, @NinaTotenberg for @npr & Fox News this week. But their coverage left out some really important info. 🧵:
The Tripitaka Koreana - carved on 81258 woodblocks in the 13th century - is the most successful large data transfer over time yet achieved by humankind. 52 million characters of information, transmitted over nearly 8 centuries with zero data loss - an unequalled achievement. 1/
