seems like a real hallmark of our era is the total inability to be normal about anything. it is just a movie! watch it or not but this shit is weird.

Seeing Emory and Biggs still with Jay gotta eat Dame's soul 😭😭

Can you imagine being so bad that the NBA decided to investigate how you paid?

He was a young dad, working to give his daughter a stable life, before he was shot and killed by ICE after an attempted traffic stop. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.

At this point is anyone surprised?

America's 250th birthday was marred by gun violence — but not as much as in past years. There were 139 shootings in the U.S. on July 4th, down slightly from last year, and down considerably from 5 years ago.

“Stand up if you know someone who’s been affected by community violence”. Nearly every student stood. I spent time at Fort Wayne’s first youth-led violence summit, where teenagers challenged adults to listen and do more about shootings in their communities. Latest for @thetrace.org

This will be an investigation worth watching. Fatal police shootings often raise questions about transparency. It'll be interesting to see how that changes when the shooters are federal troops operating alongside local police. My guess is we'll learn very little.

This includes the loud pundits on TV

Nah I’m not feelin it Tatum, it’s all on you bro

Chicago is creating an Office of Gun Violence Reduction to coordinate violence prevention efforts across the city. The bigger question is whether it changes what happens on the ground for the communities most affected by shootings. I wrote about the new office for @thetrace.org

I know I’ve made this point before, but I can’t understand how these incidents don’t grab everyone’s attention. Police respond to reports of shoplifting at a Walmart, and it ends with a 1-year-old dead.

Scoop: U.S. intelligence agencies are warning the Trump administration that Netanyahu is likely to take steps that will undermine Trump’s Iran deal as the Israeli leader faces intense political pressure to continue waging war in Lebanon 🧵

pete hegseth is engaged in open racial discrimination against black officers. the clear message is that there is no place for black or women leadership in his military

A lot of gun violence debates focus on the perpetrators. Less attention goes to the environments that create the opportunities. PA's Supreme Court just ruled skill games illegal after years of robberies and shootings tied to cash-paying machines. More from Mensah Dean for @thetrace.org

What's annoying about these "takes" is that these mofos don't even believe this bulls**t. They just wanna piss people off

Knicks fans deserve this

“Please don’t hurt us.” That’s what Minneapolis violence interrupter Connie Rhodes said she told a federal agent after responding to the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis during this year’s immigration operation She said the agent threw a tear gas canister anyway. My latest for @thetrace.org 🧵

For years, violence prevention workers have argued that housing instability and gun violence are connected. A new study out of Chicago puts numbers behind those claims. Really important story by @fairrionam.bsky.social

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

Knicks really gonna do this

The defensive intensity right now is staggering

The Civil Rights Division was created in 1957 to ensure Black voting rights and school desegregation. Under Trump it has a new focus: suing to overturn state and local gun laws, typically the work of gun rights groups. My latest:

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Chicago recorded its lowest homicide numbers in six decades last year, but some violence prevention workers say the crisis feels far from over. In my latest for @thetrace.org, I spoke with activists, outreach workers, and survivors who worry the city may be taking the progress for granted.

Bozo play by Caruso. I hate when mofos do sh*t like that

This might be the most embarrassing performance I've ever seen from a conference finals team

Jaylen should be first team

Bro he’s dead…get the body bag

Epic level collapse by the Cavs

“Nearly half the high-profile shootings we identified were motivated by hate, most often white supremacy,”

Game 1 livin up to the hype

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Virginia passed an assault weapons ban and restrictions on magazines over 15 rounds. Many of these same bills were vetoed in the past, which shows just how much can change after one local election. @jenmascia.bsky.social breaks it all down for @thetrace.org

In January, the former Illinois sheriff’s deputy who killed Sonya Massey was sentenced to 20 years in prison on a second-degree murder charge. The punishment is rare — especially in the Midwest, where police often face little to no consequences for fatally shooting unarmed civilians.

RNS from Ant right now

Ten what?????

Watching Wemby tap into all time great playoff sh*t this early in his career is wild and unfair

Ethical hoopers

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

That win against the Celtics is gonna be his career defining playoff moment

Ant is exactly what the league needs

The Sixers getting dog walked this series gonna make that Celtics loss even worse

Pablo Torre won a Pulitzer for telling Kawhi’s business 😭

Pistons did what the Celtics were supposed to do last night

Overachieved in the regular season, sh*ty way to go out in the playoffs, but happy they fought down the stretch this game

Aight they fightin tho

This is an all-time collapse by the Celtics. They’ve completely lost their identity
