The feature article—with big photo of CC—of The Athletic’s WNBA coverage this morning was about her, too. They did cover the semifinals games, too, but still managed to center CC

Rochester, NY Stop Sexual Violence Rally
From the Cornell rapists to Trump, from universities to government, our institutions continue to protect rapists while women are left fighting for our lives. Fuck that.  October 1 at 8pm ET, we ...

Just donated to the campaign of this congressional candidate who was knocked unconscious and raped while repairing lawn signs. This country hates women. The least we can do is help each other.

Not just that. The actual experience of being raped, of having your agency taken away, of having the most intimate parts of your body invaded against your will, is deeply humiliating, disgusting, and demoralizing.

More hard-hitting local investigative journalism from the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. Thank goodness! They haven't reported on TJ tote bags since August! (thank you, @usatoday.com network for leaving my local paper a dried-out, empty husk) #ROC
The "Morning News Roundup" section of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, featuring a photo of an acid green tote bag with blue straps, and orange lettering saying "Trader Joe's", under the headline "Trader Joe's Halloween mini tote bags arrive today. Here's what to know" The bag is hanging on an evergreen shrub, for some reason.

Or, they might become Supreme Court justices. Or President of the USA. I’ll believe in consequences for privileged rapists when I see it.

Appalling that it never seems to have occurred to Cornell University that rapists should face criminal charges. Task forces, statements, investigations, blah blah blah. No arrests.

@WNBA.com putting the Great White Hope (who isn’t even the highest scorer on her own team) in front of three-time and reigning MVP A’ja—flames, flames on the side of my face. I really don’t know how Black women keep their composure.

Dee Schur: He kept yelling, "I'm a U.S. citizen." They kept him pinned to the sidewalk anyway. He left in an ambulance with injuries to his head, neck, and teeth.

I know the Bills are playing today only because the rabbi at my husband’s temple kept saying, “don’t worry, we’ll get you home by 1.” OK, no rush. Got to hear the shofar in plenty of time for the FIBA WBB game to tip off.

Lake Ontario, September afternoon. I’m about go for what may be my last lake swim of the summer. Look at all that beautiful fresh water.

he doesn't have the authority to change the name within the US, either! An executive order is not a law. He can tell agencies in the Executive Branch to use a new name, but he can't make the rest of us call it that.

I'm saying racism was a big reason for voting for Trump, and the main reason working class whites keep voting against their own interests. Doesn't mean they carefully thought through the implications of their choice or like everything he's doing now.

Um, no. Trump's voters chose racism and misogyny. Since LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the Republican Party's brand has been The Party of White Men. (see also: Nixon, southern strategy.)

Cool point. I live between a bay and a river with Haudenosaunee-derived names—the Genesee River, which flows north into Lake Ontario, and Irondequoit Bay. Irondequoit probably a French mangling of an indigenous word, which we now mispronounce in English.

These side by side images tell the story: Trump welcomes only white South Africans while ICE descends on Haitians who have fled violence & established lives here legally. By abruptly ending TPS for Haitians & initiating mass deportations, our government is gleefully enacting racial apartheid in US.
