I really hope coaches, sports journalists, & commentators are listening to what
@dawnstaley, @Reese10Angel, & others are saying about the asymmetries in responses to Black & white women players. Listen, non-defensively, to what they are saying about how it feels. And do better. #NCAACHAMPIONSHIP #Misogynoir

“"I'm too hood, I'm too ghetto. Y'all told me that all year. But when other people do it, y'all don't say nothing. So this is for the girls that look like me." Angel Reese is unapologetically her 👏 @Reese10Angel”

Here is your must-read article for the day, a profile of @emilymbender, and her efforts to deflate the ridiculous hype around large language models such as ChatGPT.

It's also about the people who are behind that hype, and about what their way of thinking has the potential to do to us.

It's worth reading all the way to the end.

I Challenged Trump’s Coup Attempt From the Bench. I Never Expected to Become a Target Myself.

As a Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, I never imagined that working to protect our country’s democracy would go like this.

This stunning Jamelle Bouie column is so smart, so generous, and so thoroughly intersectional in its analysis that it will probably be banned in many parts of the country soon. Please read it. The current attacks on trans people in the United States are, as Bouie claims, "attacks on the dignity of all Americans." "There is no world in which their freedom is suppressed and yours is sustained." Indeed.

Definitely worth your time to read: The Sacred Lies of Virginia Thomas.

Jennifer Rubin:

"Jeffries governs in poetry, Biden in grace — and the GOP in thuggishness"

"From both Jeffries and Biden, then, we get a full recitation of American values: kindness, empathy, inclusion, generosity, decency and optimism."

"The gap between that humanistic vision and what we see from the Republican Party could not be more stark."

Dem House Leader Hakeem Jeffries last night: "House Democrats will always put American values over autocracy, benevolence over bigotry, the Constitution over the cult, democracy over demagogues, economic opportunity over extremism, freedom over fascism, governing over gaslighting, hopefulness over hatred...quality of life issues over QAnon, reason over racism, substance over slander, triumph over tyranny, understanding over ugliness, voting rights over voter suppression..." This pissed off GOP!
