Don’t expect to see Natasha Cloud lighting off fireworks this weekend.

The Washington Mystics guard went on a Twitter tirade Friday about her disdain for the United States.

“Our country is trash in so many ways and instead of using our resources to make it better we continue to oppress Marginalized groups that we have targeted since the beginning of times,” Cloud tweeted.

“Black/brown communities& LGBTQ+ man we are too powerful to still be attacking issues separate.”

While Cloud didn’t explain what she meant by “oppression,” her tweet comes just one day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled affirmative action practices by major universities are unconstitutional.

Now, qualified candidates are potentially offered admission based on their accomplishments and merit — not their skin color.

“I feel like I’m gonna see a civil war in my lifetime,” Cloud tweeted.

Getting paid to play a game that doesn't make money is serious oppression

If you run for president with this message it seems to get a slightly different reaction than those in this thread thus far.

There are multiple flights to other countries that leave from Dulles International Airport every day. She could buy a ticket at any time.

I can't wait for this era of politics over everything to shrivel and die.

Outkick has the most readers that want politics out of sports but really love politics in their sports

Stuff like this is the reason why I support more wnba teams and I also support them making the same as the NBA players. They’ll eventually work them selves out of a job. Gonna be hilarious to watch.
