@SeventeenRc @krassenstein There was no indication they were ICE law enforcement. Unmarked cars

@krassenstein Clarity. Are these masked "gunmen" Police, or are they cizilians?

As a brown skinned American-born citizen, how should someone handle being boxed in by unmarked vehicles filled with people in ski masks with assault rifles, if they have a kid in the car? Asking for all my non-white friends...

@Tom88206311 @krassenstein Why would you cooperate with some strangers with guns who are atttacking you?

@krassenstein Cooperate with them. That's an easy one.

@300_guns @krassenstein That never happened

@n0harmn0shit @T00ManyCommies @krassenstein The ICE agent shot into the car before he could get out

@T00ManyCommies @krassenstein x.com/n0harmn0shit/s…

@T00ManyCommies @krassenstein He did not try to run over anyone, he is legal.

@krassenstein Fairly easy. Turn the car off, keep your hands on the wheel. Exit when instructed. And most importantly, don't try to run over the officers or flee the scene. If you are legal, you go home. If not, you go home.

@BlueCollarDad73 @krassenstein He did all 3 and is now dead. So that doesn't work

@krassenstein It’s so easy.

Eight members of England’s squad have #Jamaican roots. I’ll be cheering for our cousins in the #FIFAWorld Cup semifinal vs Argentina on Wednesday. #Jamaica #Caribbean #EnglandvArgentina #WorldCup2026

This was my first time meeting @isaiahrmartin , and the first thing I said to him was that as black man of a certain age, I swell with pride with I see young black men like him doing their thing. I wanted to encourage him — not that he needed it — the same way that I would want people to encourage my children, all of whom are older than Isaiah by the way. Lol Black people must always resist the competition-for-the-only-spot foolishness that the world tries to force on up. I went to Black schools all my life. Our philosophy was different: you rise, I rise, we rise together. The world said there was limited space for black faces and black voices; we simply made more. We encourages, fought for and cheered each other. Isaiah is whip smart and good on tv. He has a bright future ahead of him. And this uncle will be cheering.

@natfluential I am with you, but both Spain and Argentina have more balanced teams. It will take spectacular effort from the Jamaicans on three lions side to win

The French boys are going down and I can only root for Jude now due to our shared Jamaican ancestry but Imma need him to be the GUY, not the one who thinks it’s cute to golf with…

If the reports are true that a three year-old girl was in the back of this car then this is even worse than it looks. You don’t fire into a car with a child in the backseat for “fleeing the scene”.

@ecf2times_ @TalbertSwan But Clark is not even the most loved, beside not being the most accomplished or talented

@TalbertSwan Not sure where that was going but it's clear aja had her turn to be whatever she was gonna possibly be before Clark arrived. See that's just the thing you don't get to pick and choose who the crowd loves in any form of entertainment. That's the problem with the wnba now entitled

History has a way of repeating itself with America choosing white mediocrity over Black excellence. In 1969, the NBA adopted the now-iconic silhouette based on Jerry West. By then, Bill Russell had already won 11 NBA championships in 13 seasons, revolutionized the game, and had just led the Celtics past West’s Lakers once again in the NBA Finals. West, despite being one of basketball’s all-time greats, had not yet won an NBA championship. His lone title would come in 1972. Many have asked ever since: if the logo was going to represent basketball excellence, why wasn’t it Bill Russell, the most dominant winner the league had ever seen? Now fast forward more than five decades. The WNBA has one of the most accomplished players in basketball history in A’ja Wilson. She led the University of South Carolina to an NCAA championship, has won three WNBA championships, four league MVP awards, Olympic gold medals, Finals MVP honors, and has established herself as one of the greatest players the women’s game has ever seen. Yet much of the conversation about the “face of the league” has centered on Caitlin Clark, a young white player who is still at the beginning of her professional career and, with no championships at either the NCAA or WNBA levels, has come remotely close to matching Wilson’s résumé of championships and accolades. That raises an uncomfortable question: Why does American sports culture elevate white stars as the defining image of a league while Black athletes who have built dynasties and accumulated historic accomplishments are treated as secondary? Why does sustained Black excellence have to compete for the recognition that comes so naturally for white mediocrity? Bill Russell deserved to be recognized as the defining symbol of his era. A’ja Wilson deserves to be recognized as the defining player of hers. The conversation isn’t about who’s the most talented. That’s obvious. It’s about why America thinks only whiteness can represent greatness.

@mattunawesome @TalbertSwan Both West & Clark are being pushed as faces of the respective leagues and Russell. & Wilson both have achieved ten times more.

@TalbertSwan Having Bill Russell as the logo might be funny looking, nobody in the history of basketball would ever put Jerry west in the same ballpark as Russell.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

@natfluential Sigh

Spain about to get France out of here 👀

@kiz_instyle Fax!
