The NBA, owners and front offices didn't see this wave of player boycotts coming today. Hours ago, they all expected to be playing these games tonight. This is a pivot point for the NBA and professional sports in North America.

Together sodcoturffarm and @hopesharvestri are making sure EVERYONE in #RI has access to fresh, healthy, and organic produce. Today we harvested about 1,000 pounds of corn and 100 pounds of tomatoes.… instagram.com/p/CESOtS8Hn3N/… – at North Kingstown, RI

.@HopesHarvestRI here in numbers this morning for some organic sweet corn 🌽! As agricultural producers, it’s pretty easy to grow this food for our farm employees and neighbors in need. Without these amazing volunteers it wouldn’t get to those who need it.

“Defund the police” is just so *specific* you know? It sounds like something that you want politicians to actually DO. Wouldn’t it be better to say “change the police” or “reimagine the police?” or something that doesn’t mean anything and that everyone can claim to have done?
