STOP ERASING WOMEN'S ACHIEVEMENTS. DAWN STALEY AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS SHOWED RESILIENCE AND EXCELLENCE ON THE COURT LAST NIGHT. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON A MAN'S MELTDOWN, CELEBRATE BLACK WOMEN LEADING AND WINNING. #NCAAWBB #SOUTHCAROLINA

Lee on Epstein Files: We’re not going to stop “bitching” about this. Why is somebody who has a lot of money able to buy this much protection? Why should you be able to get away with heinous crimes like this if you’re a president, a prince, or a CEO?

UVA Press author Alison K. Hoagland ("The Row House in Washington, DC: A History" & "The Log Cabin: An American Icon") talks about her role in challenging the construction of President Trump's ballroom complex. www.npr.org/2026/04/03/n...

OTD: April 4, 1865: President Lincoln (accompanied by his son Tad) visited Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital that Union troops captured the day before. Liberated slaves hailed him in the burnt out streets. Lincoln went to the White House of the Confederacy which Jefferson Davis had fled.

Couldn’t hear the Luke Combs concert, but sure as hell can hear all the people returning from it

Astronaut and #ArtemisII mission specialist Christina Koch - the first woman to ever leave low Earth orbit - looking at our planet from outer space. An iconic and historic image.. 🌏✨

I could hear it at IX!

Geriatric ward, puhlease. Your birthday party had music as fun as my high school dances.

I'm glad to be several miles away!

Isn’t it outdoors at Scott Stadium? I’m surprised I can’t hear it

it's at scott stadium, so yes big sound but also there's nothing holding it in!

The Luke Combs concert is rocking at the J Paul Jones arena. My house is typically as quiet as a vault, but I can hear the boom and vibration, albeit muffled. The sound inside the arena must be deafening if I can hear it blocks away.

Doesn’t even say coach Dawn Staley’s name. Pretty glaring omission! Seems very much on purpose. Try again Geno. Get it right, or fuck off.

Doesn't mention "Dawn Staley" & he's done this so many times before. Meh.

"I grew up in the projects of North Philly, right? Philly: 215, 267 area code. So, nothing — nothing — can derail us, or me, from staying with the task at hand.” - Dawn Staley (Video via the NCAA and Veritone) www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

Dawn Staley 🏀 appreciation post! “We ride at Dawn for our Dawn”

Like Dawn Staley said, “There are a lot of distractions that are placed in your life. You’re either going to address them and let it overcome you, or you stick with the task at hand. I’m choosing to stick to the task at hand.”

I used to constantly be in my 3in heels before 2020. But yea my hips are not built like they used to be.

Do I have the stamina to make it an entire night in 4 inch heels? This feels like a very foolish decision I'm about to make.

Whoever is foolish and arrogant enough to come for Dawn Staley better be ready, and he wasn’t ready—no way, no how, not ever!!

Let me say as a person who grew up in the orbit of Philly: I would avoid beefing with Dawn Staley.

Undisputed Queen of Philly Hoops

I was saying earlier @onhere: Ms. Staley is emphatically not the one.

So lucky. Cause the way I’m set up…

He's lucky she's a christian

Dawn Staley. That’s it. That’s the post.

While it is fun to see my book out at bookstores already, it is the case that if they are selling my book early, they may be messing with metrics that are used to measure its success so if you see a book out early, please ask the store if they are counting it toward first week sales 🙏🏽 #booksky

Surprise, surprise. The party hell-bent on destroying the social, economic, political, cultural, and environmental fabric of the US doesn't want experts studying "how social, economic, political, cultural and environmental forces affect the lives of people."

This is a multigenerational sin that isn’t really reparable

I think Geno Auriemma is one of the greatest coaches, in any game. But he was in the wrong with his tantrum at Dawn Staley at the end of UConn’s loss to South Carolina.

I tweeted this in 2021. Thousands of Black women replied with their personal stories. Moved the convo to IG and hundreds more jumped in to share. I can say with confidence that Dawn has felt this before and has seen it for Black women in her life. #ncaaw #blackwomen #wcbb #wnba

This level of crash out would be more funny if he weren’t actively trying to undercut a black woman’s success and make the moment about his own ego. BECAUSE DAWN COACHED THE HELL OUT OF THAT GAME AND SOUTH CAROLINA IS GOING TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Congratulations to Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks on advancing to their third straight national title game. The behavior of UConn Coach Geno Auriemma was deplorable. Imagine if a woman coach or a Black coach ever acted like he did in that moment. Disgusting and disqualifying.

He was born stupid and has remained true to himself ever since.

But, he is incompetent. It's exasperated by his dementia. He is not capable or qualified to be President. Never has been.

Was the Felon-in-Chief ever competent? Was he ever not a liar; ever capable of leadership; ever moral, empathetic, unselfish? I think not. #ImpeachHim #FightToTakeOurCountryBack

I'm so grateful to @sarahjanecody.bsky.social to virtually joining my class at Tufts last night to talk about her work. True generosity! If you haven't yet, you should read this wonderful essay of hers that came out in Electric Lit last month: electricliterature.com/masking-my-a...

I did my masters on a related topic, and having read through the literature it is really remarkable how much additional cost means testing adds, arguably/usually more than it “saves” by restricting access. It can also lead to higher rates of tax fraud by people on the margin of losing access

It is always much simpler to create a universal public service. Means testing just adds complexity and generates resentment. The @nytimes.com is just making some noise on behalf of its billionaire friends to make life difficult for Mamdani.

Entering the Orthopedic Clinic this morning, I was shocked to see a father carrying his 4th-month-old baby whose tiny little hand was bandaged. I oohed & awed over precious little Noah, an outlier amid the dozens of old people limping in to get physical therapy for their broken and arthritic bones.

“Her problem turned out to be that it remains very difficult to convict Americans of a crime they did not commit…”

i’m listening to “teaching to transgress” on audiobook from my local library. read her other works! i’m taking my time with this one since learning HOW to reach everyone is important to me. #BellHooks (gotta capitalize on hashtags for those relying on audio assistance!)
