Downey: They aren’t disavowing Hasan Piker.
Blow: So your argument is guilt by association?
Downey: You're known by the company you keep
Blow: The company Donald Trump keeps is dictators, Jeffrey Epstein, and crooks and criminals… So for you guys have the gall to talk to anybody about guilt by association…
The forest service does lots of things, but they're the frontline in fighting wildfires. There is literally no issue Republicans aren't maximally evil on. You cannot hate them enough.
"Why would you care about ICE being around if you're a US citizen???"
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN SHOOTING AND ARRESTING US CITIZENS WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN??
There have been 13 Olympics that have allowed trans women to compete in the female category if they meet the hormonal and physical requirements of the trans sports policy. The results over 13 Olympic games suggests trans women massively underperform in elite womens sports.
Since the IOC has created a rule for trans athletes to compete in 2003, over 81,000 people have become Olympians. Out of those 81,000 Olympians a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42.
There isn’t a single trans or intersex woman dominating her sport. Even Caster Semenya, the most famous, & most successful, intersex woman athlete doesn’t “dominate” her sport. Caster has won a total of two Olympic golds medals & holds no world records.
By contrast, Katie Ledecky has won a total of 9 Olympic gold medals and has broken 19 world records since 2013.
Why is Katie Ledecky treated like a marvel, and Caster Semenya and transgender women are treated like mutants?
There currently exists no evidence to suggest that trans women who elect to suppress testosterone (through, for example, gender affirming hormone therapy and/or surgical gonad removal) maintain disproportionate advantages over c_swomen indefinitely.
More specifically, current evidence suggests any physical performance advantages trans women do not fall outside the range observed among XX women after 2 years of testosterone suppression.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.�� ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
I am becoming progressively more worried for our humanity due to extensively terrifying improvements to AI generated content media.
From blatant misinformation to even the recent commercial adaptations of AI (acquisition of Suno into the music industry) WHICH NOBODY NEEDS.
We need artists to thrive - not feel discouraged.
Please be weary with what you see or hear online, contemporary media feels like nothing is real anymore.
AI sucks and we need to stand up against it.
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
