Kennard’s agents, Aaron Mintz and Dave Spahn of CAA Sports, committed to the new deal with Phoenix moments ago. So far this offseason, the Suns have retained their own top free agents in Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams and Jordan Goodwin, acquired Miles Bridges, and now land Kennard among multiple suitors.
Free agent sharpshooter Luke Kennard has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Phoenix Suns, with a player option for the second season, sources tell ESPN.

One thing this app opened my eyes to is just how many people can't see the world from a perspective beyond their own. It's not a "lie." Everyone is different. For some people, it works. For others, it doesn't. Do you, and mind your own business on everybody else.

Vice President Harris: Let’s clear up something on those stimulus checks. The reason those went out was because there was a Democratic majority in the House who did the work to say people need help right now. Trump was opposed to giving help, and then he decided to put his name on them after Congress passed it

Asian Americans allowing themselves to be used to scapegoat Black people & end Affirmative Action is particularly tragic given Asians were only able to immigrate to the United States b/c Black civil rights leaders passed immigration reform & demanded Asians receive equal access😐

To the Asian-American students who won today with the Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action, guess what? You still are not going to get into Ivy League institutions. Why? LEGACY. None of them are ending legacy admissions, which benefits white students. Congratulations.

If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged. 70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

In 1984. Recent law school grad Greg Abbott was jogging in the affluent Houston, Texas suburb of River Oaks. When he jogged past Divorce attorney Roy Moore's home. A giant oak tree broke and tragically fell on Greg Abbott. Crushing his spine and leaving him paralyzed. Uninsured and unemployed. Abbott had no health insurance. He had over $81,000 in hospital bills. He sued. Abbott got his hospital bills paid and received over $5.7 million dollars in payouts from Moore's home insurance and the tree services company who failed to detect the tree was rotten inside. Still to this day Greg Abbott gets a monthly check that includes cost of living increases each year. And will receive a check for the rest of his life. When Abbott was on the Texas Supreme court . He voted to decrease the amount of money someone in a similar situation could receive. Gregg Abbott supported capping non medical damages in cases like his at $250,000. A reward like the multi million dollars in payouts Abbott received and still receives each and every month till the day he dies would be impossible today. Of course these bills were crafted to not be retroactive. So they do not affect Greg Abbotts payments. Gregg Abbott does everything he can to hurt us Texans. While he laughs all the way to the bank every month with his very generous monthly check that he happily denies to another Texan who is injured in the same way as Abbott was. It goes without saying. This is another example of a GOP hypocrite. OK for me but not for any other Texan. That should be Gov. Greg Abbotts theme song for his life. What a despicable man who cares nothing about anyone's pain and suffering. He got his and to Abbot and the GOP. That's all that matters. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1

The same people who are banning books, attacking trans kids, and ending DEI programs have officially taken over HISD, the most diverse district in Texas.  This is yet another sad chapter in the state’s war on local control and communities of color. houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

The TX legislature is making a mockery of conservative values. The party of “small government” aims to take over elections in the largest county in Texas just because they don’t like the way that county votes. These bills are an abuse of power designed to give one party a leg up.
This evening, the TX Legislature made progress on two bills that aim straight at Harris County. The bills would strip autonomy from the county, responsible for 20% of the jobs in the state and 16% of state population, by control of Harris County’s elections to the state.
