Life throws curveballs & I'm learning to swing at them all, no matter what. The outcome of those swings is actually life, so swing for them all.

Magic Johnson says his ownership group paid $10,000,000 for the WNBA Sparks and made no money for years

“We’ve owned the Sparks for a few years. We haven’t made a dime. It’s been a tough going for the WNBA. Except now. There was a time when we said, ‘Should we sell this.’ We kept saying, ‘No, let’s hold on to it’”

“Thank God we didn’t sell too early. We only paid $10 million for the franchise. When you think about the return we’re going to have, it’s amazing. Don’t sell too early. I just wanted to point that out”

June 11, 1963. My late sister in law - Vivian Malone - with the help of the Department of Justice and President Kennedy integrated the University of Alabama. The Governor of the state, George Wallace, stood in the school house door to prevent her from enrolling. The use of State power to trample on the rights of black Americans. In 2026 this resurgent movement by southern Republicans is both historically familiar and alarming.

Vivian fought.

@IAmSophiaNelson The other real problem to me is that all of this feels performative. Which saddens me

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026

by Amanda Gorman

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.

Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love 
& better angels of our nature.

What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice; 
In the end, gorgeously, 
Endures our enormity. 

You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

Trump is threatening to take over Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Oakland, and Los Angeles.

Five cities.

Five BLACK MAYORS.

Tell me again how neither Trump nor America are racist.

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

MAGA controls the Senate, House, White House, FBI, DOJ, DHS, HHS, OPM, the Pentagon, arguably the Supreme Court, and more. If you’re still blaming Biden six months into Donny “I’ll fix it all on day one” Trump’s term, you need a reality check.

[Sophia A. Nelson @IAmSophiaNelson]

And before you ask me why we “need” such a month-short answer—being black, brown, of color in America is hard. Very hard. It breaks you down. Everyday. And you carry a-lot of it with you silently. It damages your soul. It suppresses your spirit. Micro-aggressions. Just too much!

Words cannot explain this loss to my family. My cousin & her wife were fantastic humans who worked tirelessly to make this world better. Please pray as we're struggling

[Mary Jane Stevenson @MaryOFAJane]

The most devastating loss. @hopewood07 and @MooreforOakland made the world a better place and will continue to do so through all the ripples of their love, wisdom and bad-assness. 💔💔💔💔💔

BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with more devastating news as January 6 Committee member Adam Schiff becomes the highest profile member of Congress to call for insurrectionist Trump to be banned from running for office under the 14th Amendment.

But it gets way WORSE for Trump…

In front of millions of live MSNBC viewers, Schiff declared that it’s “very clear” that Trump “engaged in acts of insurrection and rebellion against America’s government and gave aid and comfort to those who do” — so he MUST be “disqualified from the ballot because he fits the 14th Amendment’s ban on traitors and insurrectionists ‘to a ‘t.”

Congressman Schiff continued, encouraging Democrats to take this all the way up to the Supreme Court because even prominent conservative constitutional scholars believe that this is a “legitimate issue” — and that traitor Trump must be banned from running.

This new endorsement from Congressman Schiff is the latest sign that the will to ban Trump from running for office under the 14th Amendment is gaining steam. The damn appears to be breaking — and Trump worst nightmare just might be coming true.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump MUST be banned from running — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

Kalief Browder was FALSELY accused of stealing a backpack. He spent three years in Rikers Island, one of the worst prisons in the world, awaiting trial, mostly in solitary confinement.

He committed suicide.

Donald Trump has 78 federal and state criminal charges. He goes home every night.

He’s running for president.

Greg Abbott has imitated a hostile takeover of the local school district in Houston, TX — taking control away from the local school board so that it’s now run by the state.
