Lu Dort says goodbye to OKC on IG along with a special video:
āDear OKC,
There are no words that could ever fully express what the 405 means to me, but one thing will always be true:
I'Il forever be grateful.
Thank you to the Oklahoma City Thunder organization for taking a chance on a young, overlooked kid from Montreal seven years ago. To the coaching staff, thank you for pouring so much into me day after day, year after year. To this city, thank you for making this HOME
- not just for me, but for my family. And to my teammates, thank you for every battle we fought together and every challenge we faced along the way.
To YOU, Loud City- I will forever appreciate the relentless support. Through all the highs and lows, you never stopped believing in us as we chased the goal of bringing this city its first championship.
I wouldn't trade my time here for anything. This place helped shape me into the man you see today, and I'll always carry these memories with me. I leave with nothing but the deepest sense of love, gratitude, and appreciation for everyone who made this chapter so special.
With love,
Luuuuuuuuu

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I donāt understand anyone who canāt admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think heās hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I canāt blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the Peopleās House. This ācelebrationā could have happened in any stadium within a stoneās throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trumpās whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
āThis is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. Iāll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. Iāll tear down the East Wing. Iāll pave over the Rose Garden. Iāll cover everything in gold and marble. Iāll erase the names of all the men who came before me.ā
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
he texts back now. We send memes. Share updates. Live our separate lives but weāre connected. Because I refused to let him disappear. Because I kept showing up even when he didnāt respond. Because I believed that somewhere under the silence he was still there. That he still mattered. Three years of one-sided texting taught me that persistence isnāt weakness. That caring when itās not reciprocated is still caring. That sometimes people need to know theyāre not forgotten.ļæ¼
That somebody remembers them.
@GriffinOklahoma I wish I was staying safe informed and protected but I canāt watch news 9 on direct tv because you guys are negotiating your contract??! STORM SEASON in OKLAHOMA is not the time to be negotiating contracts jfc
šØ Switzerland just declared US-Israeli attacks on Iran a violation of international law.
Switzerland.
The country that hasnāt taken a side in a conflict since 1815.
An elementary school bombed. A boysā school. Freshwater desalination plants. Oil refineries blanketed in acid rain. A civilian airport destroyed. Scores of children dead.
When your war crimes are so egregious that Switzerland stops being neutral ā You have lost the moral authority of the entire world.
Spain said no. The UAE demanded answers. London marched. NYC marched. Switzerland broke 200 years of neutrality.
And Trump is at a golf resort.

The post was vile, disgusting, utterly reprehensible and indefensible. š¤¬
The fact that the White House tried to spin it as an āerror,ā blamed a staffer, deleted it after 12 hours of public outrage, and then had Trump claim he ādidnāt see that partā only makes it worse. That is the behavior of people who know exactly how racist it is and still chose to let it fly ā until the backlash became too loud even for them to ignore.
This isnāt politics. This isnāt āowning the libs.ā This is raw, naked racism from the highest office in the land.
It is beneath contempt.
It is a stain on the presidency.
It is an insult to every Black American, every person of conscience, and every generation that fought and bled to drag this country ā inch by painful inch ā away from the sewer of racial dehumanization.
Anyone who defends this, excuses this, minimizes this with ābut others got animal memes too,ā or pretends this is just another day in the culture war is complicit in normalizing one of the ugliest, most poisonous symbols of white supremacy still in circulation.
There is no both-sides here ā No witty comeback. There is only shame ā deep, burning, historic shame.
This post was racist garbage. Full stop. š āš½
And the fact that it came from the President of the United States in 2026 should make every decent human being furious. š”
@EricLDaugh Yeah, no one should be able to tell anyone what to do with their body!
But you better have that baby you didn't plan for, and bring it into a world that will definitely have a resurgence of a bunch of super preventable diseases.
@EricLDaugh So Florida just legalized bringing back measles, polio, and smallpox in the name of freedom
Guess your body, your choice only applies when it makes good headlines
Hope everyoneās cool with their kids being the test dummies for diseases our grandparents died fighting
