There are 217 @WNBA players in the league and now I’m speaking directly to all of you. I’m astonished. You play in a league and have a commissioner who cannot and will not define your gender and is embarrassing you in front of the entire world. Yet none of you have the BALLS to stand up for yourselves and say, “Enough is enough.” And that’s the whole point. None of you have balls, and it needs to stay that way. I guess biology is still pending committee approval. They’re trying to figure out how to define a woman in a way that fits their nonsense agenda. Deep down, I believe you don’t want a biological male entering your league and taking your minutes, your money, your endorsements, and your dignity. Are you all really that afraid of cancel culture that you would rather sacrifice your morals, values, and principles for money? If the #NBA# commissioner came out tomorrow and said, “We cannot define what a man is,” there would be outrage and a protest among the players the next day. Open your eyes. #WNBA# I’m not the enemy here. The real threat to women’s sports is not the one asking the question. It’s the silence of the women who refuse to answer it.

Now, listen to me very carefully! So far, I’ve spoken with: 2 Former NBA players 3 G-League players 3 European players They have all said that if the @WNBA doesn’t change the rules, they’re ready to join the movement and are considering coming out as women and putting their names in the 2027 #WNBA# Draft. Hear me out; The @NBA G- League pays players $45,000 a year, while the #WNBA# top players earn $1.4 Million. Those “men” could earn an extra $1,355,000 a year by just identifying as women. Rules are rules. #LetFreedomPlay#

The @WNBA says a woman is anyone who claims to be one. So if I say I’m a woman, you have to accept it. Those are the rules the #WNBA# created. Why does anyone get to decide whose journey is real and whose isn’t? Who gets to judge? Rules Are Rules! #LetFreedomPlay#

After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027. I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices. I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA# honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp.

No amount of money is worth selling your principles. Accepting money from companies tied to authoritarian regimes sends the message that profit outweighs conscience. Please read my joint op-ed with @SamuelBrownback. @thehill

Turns out some of the most memorable stories were never just about magic. They were about having the courage to stand your ground when the pressure says otherwise. Supporting women. Fighting for freedom. Loving America. @EnesFreedom gets that. 🇺🇸

Today I saw @EnesFreedom in person for the first time! I actually recorded his entire speech as one of the audience members on site! Will share it later. “Keep inspiring people.” In the face of 27 years of persecution, @enesfreedom feels inspired by the nonviolent and peaceful resistance of the Falun Gong community. - July 23, 2026 at the Lincoln Memorial. #FreeFalunGong#

27 years! 27 years of persecution. 27 years of torture. 27 years of families torn apart. It has been 27 years since the Chinese Communist Party launched its brutal campaign against Falun Gong. Millions have been imprisoned, tortured, and persecuted simply because they chose to live by the values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. Their stories deserve to be heard. Their courage deserves to be honored. The world must not stay silent.

Former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom (@EnesFreedom) reveals how the league pressured him into silence and how his career was cut short because of his human rights advocacy: "Even before the first game started, (the NBA) told me that you gotta take your shoes off because we're getting so much pressure from the Chinese government. After the first game, they stopped showing every Boston Celtics game on television." @NTDNews | @CapitolReport

SELECTIVE ACTIVISM. Muhammad Ali would be ashamed. Muhammad Ali stood for courage even when it came at a personal cost. Signing a deal with a company tied to the Chinese market and becoming the face of a brand while remaining silent about the CCP’s human rights abuses doesn’t honor Ali’s legacy. It helps normalize one of the greatest human rights crises of our time.
