@gpmrntz @chrismithunc Don't disagree but believe that's how the UNC admin sees things 🤷

@groupindividual @chrismithunc He played at TX and FL (for Donovan!)
Coached at TX, KY & Duke - which just means he has talent & recognized as elite, next-gen.
I want to win. A lot. I want to see him stick it to Scheyer for next 30+ years.
He's going to do that someplace. Might as well be UNC.

Is it just me, or does it feel like there’s been a strong media push for UNC to hire Mark Byington?

Every damned day. Do not look away. Do not grow numb. This is terror. This is mass murder by Russia in Ukraine. Every day. Europe could close the skies and give Ukraine the weapons it needs to defend itself and every day chooses not to.
MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦@MFA_Ukraine
Five people were killed and at least 19 others injured after Russian strikes hit a market in Nikopol, Dnipro region, on April 4, in broad daylight. Among the wounded is a 14-year-old girl. She was hospitalised in critical condition. The attack caused fires and severe damage. Earlier today, Russia also attacked Sumy (at least 7 civilians were injured), Kharkiv (3 people were injured), settlements across Dnipro region (3 civilians were injured, including a 5-month-old baby and a 6-year-old child), and Kyiv. This attacks followed yesterday’s Russian strikes that brought death and destruction. Ukraine proposed an Easter ceasefire, but Russia continued to respond with more strikes, rejecting diplomacy and peace efforts. Strong international pressure on the aggressor state must follow.

@Angela24801664 @joeburk18 @WalshFreedom Absolutely, this is the front end of his '28 campaign or at least a test balloon.
English
@joeburk18 @WalshFreedom Because he wants back in office. And his angle is a reformed Tea Party, Never Trump, Pro-Israel "moderate" democrat. He wants AIPAC backing.
Republicans are taking over the democrat party.
We'll have 2 parties. MAGA and George W Bush Republicans.
That's what is underway.

Ro, thankfully we’ve made progress on race since the 1930’s. Not so much on antisemitism. And btw, the better analogy here would be - would you or I, as Members of Congress, work with bigoted influencers like Nick Fuentes or Hasan Piker to advance legislation. I would not. Would you? And btw Ro, I’m not talking about cancelling anyone. I’ll speak with anyone who’s an honest broker. That’s actually what I do every day. But I am talking about condemning what people say & do when it’s warranted- condemning bigotry, antisemitism, & condemning people who express support for Hamas or Hezbollah. That all should be easy to condemn. I come from the right. A bigoted nationalism has overtaken the right. I engage with it every day and I condemn it every day. A bigoted, antisemitic, anti-Americanism is sprouting up on the left. Piker gives voice to this. It too must be engaged with and condemned every day. Correct? Have a nice weekend.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
Joe, historical question. Do you think FDR should have worked with Rep Rankin, a rank antisemite and racist, to set up the Tennessee Valley Authority? We should take firm positions on principle and condemn specific statements we disagree with. But in a messy democracy must engage broadly. I would also argue that we can approach our fellow citizens with less judgment at a time of deep polarization.
English
@JoshEakle Agree completely, that's why I believe there's a viable, angry and focused centrist movement waiting to happen. It will be derived from liberalism & non-homogeneous wrt policy (with factions). Initially, the unifying theme will be about _how_ government should function.
English
You either police and exclude the extremists from your movement or you end up like MAGA.
The left needs to understand this.

@JwQueck @Isaac__Trotter Donovan has no buyout if he and the Bulls mutually part ways. Not sure what it would be if the Bulls organization chose to retain him and enforce his contract
English
Top names to know for UNC after Tommy Lloyd’s decision to stay at Arizona:
Dusty May, Michigan
Billy Donovan, Chicago Bulls
Mark Byington, Vanderbilt
Ben McCollum, Iowa
Grant McCasland, Texas Tech
Josh Schertz, St. Louis

@SethDavisHoops Has it been determined with confidence that the Bulls will release Donovan from his contract?
English
The Chicago Bulls are not going to be in the playoffs. No one would begrudge Billy Donovan for leaving the team now to take a job as prestigious as North Carolina. If he were interested, the deal would be done by now. UNC would run a huge risk by waiting until April 12th to make this hire given that the transfer portal opens up April 7. Donovn would be worth the wait, but you better be 100 percent sure he is coming if you do. Otherwise, North Carolina has to move quickly. Dusty May is worth the wait, too, but he is not leaving Ann Arbor.

Hi, I’m part of the puppeteering team that ran the Mark Moran bot for this ad.
I just want to apologize. Our arms team were last minute replacements that didn’t really have time to familiarize themselves with the rig.
We expect a more lifelike Mark Moran in the second ad.

@MaMoMVPY We Americans need to take election and voting reforms, financial and otherwise, seriously and develop a vision & plan NOW. Even in the depths of Trump and MAGA, this effort deserves serious attention. Otherwise, the premise "this isn't who we are" will always be questioned.
English
Well, lets hope so but Americans have done very little to give us any trust that they will not fuck up once again. They after all elected him twice and are more busy with the stop of the day than with getting rid of him.
John Hundeslit@JohnHundeslit
I'm not especially convinced we need to write off the USA as an ally. Trump is 79, and only has two years and nine months left of his final term. I don't forsee Trumpism outlasting him for very long.
