Alyssa Thomas decries threats as WNBA defends safety after Clark incident

Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas says she has received death threats and racial slurs after a one-game suspension for a throat contact with Caitlin Clark, criticizing WNBA leadership for not doing enough to protect players. The league condemned hate, but Thomas says threats persist and she learned of the suspension only minutes before it was announced; officials ruled the play a non-basketball act with a flagrant foul 2. The Fever called for safety improvements, and the Mercury and Fever are set to meet again July 9 in Phoenix.

Nationals ban fan over white nationalist banner at home game

Washington Nationals banned at least one person after a banner directing fans to a white nationalist website and calling for deportation was unfurled during Sunday’s Salute to Service game; an usher attempted to confiscate it, but the holders fled. The team condemned the rhetoric and is coordinating with the Metropolitan Police Department on a follow-up investigation. Online claims of responsibility by Jake Lang surfaced, though how the banner bypassed security remains unclear. Nationals Park’s guidelines restrict banners to MLB-related or family-friendly messages and prohibit hate speech or other disallowed content.

Kanye West’s Comeback Sparks Global Debate, Not Consensus

Critics warn his apology reads more like image rehabilitation and worry he remains a vessel for hate speech and political controversy, leaving unanswered questions about accountability and genuine change. With upcoming dates in India and elsewhere, the trajectory of his comeback remains uncertain and deeply polarized.

Hindu-majoritarian rhetoric broadens its targets to Christians in India

A CSOH/India Hate Lab report shows a sharp rise in hate speech and violence against Christians and Muslims in India under Modi’s BJP-RSS environment, with 1,318 hate-speech events in 2025 (up 97% since 2023) and attacks across states including Raipur, Delhi, and Kerala. Anti-Christian rhetoric grew alongside anti-Muslim hate, often framed as “forced conversions” or conspiracies like “love jihad,” and linked to BJP-affiliated groups and leaders. Experts warn this escalating rhetoric facilitates violence and seeks to consolidate political support for Hindu majoritarianism while triggering laws targeting religious conversions.
