Hearing news of a $45 million monthly donation to a candidate I do not favor and one who threatens my way of living, loving and teaching, I am officially signing off this platform.

So, now we have to worry about Trump tweeting while falling asleep AND SHS's toddler tweeting from her phone? I've never felt more secure.

What if the cupcake store is closed, so I can only get a cupcake at a store far away? When I get there, everyone wanting a cupcake is there & it will take several more hours to get my cupcake AND put me in danger? Probably just make own at home in the first place. THE POINT, Kel!
So weird. I NEVER hear people talk about the MLS like they talk about the WNBA. Yet... “MLS expects to lose ‘close’ to $1 billion in 2021, Commissioner Don Garber said. The league said it had nearly $1 billion in losses in 2020.”

Summer is the daughter of a friend of mine. So many people trashing her on her Facebook page & saying awful things. Her family is devastated, but proud of them for standing for what they believe in. Love to the Taylors. Beautiful memories. And, America, get yourself together.
Summer Taylor, one of two demonstrators who was struck by a car while protesting in Seattle, has died. The second protester, Diaz Love, remains in serious condition.

Said it before & will say it again: Female athletes know nothing BUT the fight. They had to fight just for the right to compete, then for facilities, for publicity, for pay. That's why they will continue to lead on this. They were made for it.

Just proving yet, again that if you have money, you are fine. There is no way this guy isn't still feeding his pedophilia. He is probably just going abroad to do it. Just gross. Thank you for reporting it. I still wish the process was thorough and Acosta would be held to account.

This is (exceptionally long, but) absolutely amazing journalism. Also, I will never understand how ESPN/Fox have Alex Rodriguez on their baseball programming. It's worse than the idea of having Richard Nixon talk about ethics in politics on TV. Unreal.
“Student journalists” are simply journalists who are still in school. They are journalists who can make an impact, who can hold those in power to account when they follow their training, don’t take no for an answer & forge ahead and do the right thing especially when it’s scary.
Here’s what aired on SportsCenter earlier tonight ahead of the news of Northwestern firing Pat Fitzgerald - and what got NU football to this point - with student journalists leading the way:
This might be an

, but this is THE BEST NFL DRAFT I’ve ever seen. Athletes in their own homes with the people most important to them? Nothing is more authentic. Plus, coaches/GMs & their people? Brings humanity to it.

Here is what I don’t think people realize about women in sports at the highest level — they have had to fight their entire careers: JUST TO play, for facilities, for publicity, for pay, for equity. Surprised they’re into social justice? It’s truly all they know.

ESPN has gone so woke its top two stories today are about women's college basketball.
Not the men's tournament, not NFL free agency and not the upcoming NFL draft.
Women's college basketball takes the top two spots at ESPN. Who is asking for this?

if you're a young person trying figure your way around this garbage industry, get your ass credentialed to cover a wnba team next year
and if you're already established in the industry, still come too
Today was a “throw out the syllabus & talk” day. I appreciate my students at

Unpopular hot take: Coaches losing their jobs is not a thing to celebrate. Even if you think it’ll help your team, they are people, with families, who need to move, find new jobs.
Wow! This was a surprise. I’m excited to serve the membership of

Shazier & Bell were hurdles, but Colbert is damn good at drafts & Conner’s good. The Brown idiocy is a hurdle, but anyone who’s worked w others & been disappointed knows a little time, a sitdown w the boss (Rooney) & a little adulting will fix it. Stop burning down the house. 3/3
@steelers
In the last year, we lost our best defender to a spine injury & our best offensive player to a contract dispute — and were still in every game! We beat the Patriots! We are not far off, but all I hear is negativity. About coaches, players, every little decision. 2/3

The worst primetime NFL game I've ever heard was last night's. Witten was a great tight end, but he is terrible at broadcasting. Booger was just as atrocious. Just because you can play the game doesn't mean you can call the game. Bad voices. Lame insights. Capt Obviouses.

2. How many Americans truly understand socialism?
