Jaylen Brown’s legacy in Boston is so much bigger than basketball
Brown’s tenure in Boston is over after nearly a decade. The 2024 Finals MVP will be remembered for much more than just his basketball.

I know I'm ruminating a bit unhealthily here, but. As someone who used to self-medicate a lot with alcohol largely to shut out anxieties related to being a woman in a toxic sexist political work world It's always INTERESTING to me that "I was drinking" is exculpatory rather than damning for men

This will not move the needle on traffic congestion. Shapiro's big leadership "wins" in Philadelphia have focused squarely on interstates and parts of the city connected to interstates. Philadelphia's main strength is not that I-95 runs through it, and I'm not sure Shapiro understands that.

🧵My heart has been so sore with the revelations about Chavez, especially re: Dolores Huerta—60 yrs silent bc "I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for." How many women have sacrificed themselves & been sacrificed for The Mission?
I want to make a point that goes far, far beyond that particular man.

This is what women live with. We move through a world in which great art, great wisdom, great athleticism, great social movements are all tainted with assaults on our humanity that go, at best, unremarked.

He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Very, very good read
The capacity to cry about being treated rudely on social media while carrying out this open-ended gambit is new, but the instinct to do so wasn't. There is
something deeply, shamefully American about this strike force of out-of-town
shitheads complaining about the customer service it has received from the
people it is trying to oppress, and doing so in language-NO ROOM AT THE INN!-that stridently references and oafishly misuses one of the foundational stories of the faith
that movement relentlessly claims. A lesson about humanity, and a whole humane way of seeing the world, shrinks so effortlessly into a preening, indignant, fundamentally meaningless complaint.It's inspiring, this persistence of community and care in the face of a campaign to annihilate them, and the defiance of people who want to live their lives against a force that doesn't want anything at all, and all of these small and vital human things pushing up through the attempt to make those things and that resistance impossible. But it is also a reminder of how pathetic-how sincerely and deeply abject, how valueless and lost
-this offensive is. There is all this rude and humble everyday life and all these different types of people who believe it is meaningful, and then there is this attempt, overseen by an elite that doesn't believe in anything at all, to replace it with something dumber, simpler, more demeaning, and more like content. They are going to lose, and not just because they are outnumbered.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
