I don’t normally post on here anymore, but I wanted to shed light on something happening at my alma mater. Lewis University is launching a women’s hockey club! The team will start next school year and fundraising just started. Please donate or share if you can! www.givecampus.com/schools/Lewi...

Listen and decide for yourself. But I have to commend Phee for using her platform to call out abusive, manipulative, and dismissive tactics from the WNBA. (Part 2/2) #WNBASky
Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.
She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky
People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Candace: My heart will always belong to the state of Illinois, the city of Naperville and the city of Chicago. It’s not just where I’m from, it’s the core of who I am.
gonna be real curious to see how they spin this as a violation of code of conduct because it simply: is not

Jessica Berman was supposed to professionalize the league’s operations.

When will it be enough?
