Elle Duncan is sick and tired of Caitlin Clark not directly calling out her racist fans and their racism towards Black players!

She mentions how it’s insane how congress got involved to “protect her” from getting fouled. 🔥

[Jay @SonOfJames32]

Shame on the WNBA for protecting Yt fragility in a league full of black women.

Listen, Alyssa can be rough and a bully but I watched the clip sooo many times I see absolutely NOTHING egregious. Her and CC both lost their footing and fell and Alyssa’s hand was balled up but lightly grazed her. There was so intentional or aggressive impact AT ALL. Incidental.

[Ashley_ @All_N_Yo_Tweets]

Caity Cait fanbase gotta be the worst thing that happened to women’s bball. The language they use to talk about players who they think intentionally tries to “hurt” her is so dangerous.

[Mary Juana @MaryJuana_v2]

The WNBA was better off before Caitlin Clark because there was none of this fucking drama and racism going on. Seriously she can leave and take her fucking fans with because none of this is basketball.

If Barack Obama were to run again, would you vote for him without the slightest hesitation, without thinking about Trump?

[WNBA @WNBA]

With 5️⃣ days left until Tip-Off, we’re reflecting on a championship standard that still stands.

Rebekkah Brunson stands alone as the only player in WNBA history to win 5️⃣ titles!

Former ICE agent: I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE Academy as deficient, defective, and broken. On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant. I watched ICE cut 240 hours of vital classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers' authority.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents pulled guns on an unarmed U.S. citizen in a small Minnesota town… then had to be stopped by the local police chief.

This happened in St. Peter, Minnesota. A quiet southern Minnesota town

A local woman was alone in her car, observing and recording ICE activity in her community. She is doing something that is fully protected under the First Amendment… observing and documenting federal agents in public.

ICE notices her watching.

Three federal vehicles begin chasing her, and try to force her to pull over.

They eventually box her car in and three agents jump out of the vehicle in front of her… with their guns drawn… screaming at her to get out of the car.

She refuses, and states her rights.

The agents open her car door anyway, drag her out, force her to the ground, and handcuff her.

This is all happening while she is unarmed, and alone on a country road.

She suffers cuts, scrapes, and bruises as they pin her down.

Her husband then arrives and starts recording. He tells them they don’t have a warrant and cannot search her car. An ICE agent dismisses him outright and says, “I’m not getting into the legality of everything.”

Read that again.

A federal agent, pointing guns at civilians, openly says they are not concerned with legality.

ICE puts this woman into their vehicle and starts driving her toward the Twin Cities, toward a federal detention facility… even though she is a U.S. citizen.

About twenty minutes into the drive, they suddenly turn around after getting a call from a supervisor.

The St. Peter police chief stepped in.

After her husband contacted an attorney and spoke with the police chief, the chief identified the vehicle ICE was using, took custody of the woman, and personally drove her home.

ICE turned her over to local police because what they were doing was so clearly wrong.

This is what is happening in America.

A small-town police chief had to intervene to stop federal agents from disappearing an unarmed woman for observing them.

If ICE feels comfortable pulling guns on unarmed citizens in small towns, chasing them, throwing them to the ground, and ignoring the law entirely, then no town is too small and no one is safe from ICE brutality.

This is what it looks like when federal agents think they’re above the Constitution.
