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.

.@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?

I honestly was not expecting the president to go with ‘the old man bleeding out of his head on the sidewalk in Buffalo had it coming’ and that’s on me. I should’ve known.

The whole country needs to stop right now and listen to Killer Mike. He’s verbalizing what a lot of us don’t know how to express

In our world today, we’re heavily dependent upon each other. It’s essential, therefore, that we cooperate with one another—then we’ll be able to solve many problems. Good relations, heart to heart, are important and necessary—everything depends upon our having a good motivation.

"I worked very hard for it" is the worst possible justification for being a billionaire. You know who works very hard? Single mothers working two minimum wage jobs with just-in-time scheduling and a bus commute.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned of a "new stage of investigation" if President Trump refused to hand over a whistle-blower complaint reportedly related to whether he pressured Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden's son. She didn't use the word “impeachment." nyti.ms/30AeY36

Very proud of what our team has done this year. Leading one industry and building another. It’s all about the fundamentals of agricultural production and conservation. #RI #ConservationFarming #SustainableLandscape #Hemp #CBD providence-journal.com/news/…
