BREAKING: As CBA negotiations continue, the WNBPA has launched Player Hubs, a global network of training sites at universities + athletic facilities in the U.S. and Spain, giving WNBA players access to courts, weight rooms + recovery spaces when team facilities are unavailable.

It's time for the @WNBA to pay the @TheWNBPA players an equitable share of the revenue they generate and mandate the professional working conditions they deserve.

Pay them what you owe them!

The NFLPA has entered the chat.

The problem is not the poor kid who gets $6 a day in food stamps.

The problem is the Walton family, worth $469 billion, & Jeff Bezos, worth $247 billion pay wages so low that their workers need food stamps.

The real welfare queens are the billionaires who pay starvation wages.

In less than four years, Collier had a baby, won Olympic gold, and cofounded a women’s sports league worth $340 million. Now she’s the face of the WNBA’s fight for fair pay—and she’s not taking no for an answer. https://t.co/FCbUUOWP0Y

Survivors at our press conference announced they are privately compiling their own Epstein list.

They would be sued into homelessness for naming names, but @RepMTG and I are willing to name names in the House of Representatives under Constitutional “speech or debate” immunity.

In honor of Labor Day, I went deep on the WNBA CBA negotiations in an attempt to separate fact from fiction. Apologies in advance for the math, but I think you'll find it informative! https://t.co/65pX6aLb1U

Whatever happens, Mamdani wrote a new playbook for progressives

He reached outside the base. He ran away from purity politics. He didn't run as "I'm the true progressive and you're not." He tolerated disagreement, embraced persuasion, and emphasized building common ground.

Context: Since 2010, only two NBA preseason games outrated this game.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

truly epic levels of misreading the moment going on here

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too.

Anyone - left, right, or center - who has highlighted the importance of constitutional rights + free speech should be sounding the alarm now.

@amiekiehn I’m looking! I’ve been in nonprofits for the last 15 years and would love to pivot to something in sports.
