Do you understand who and what we are dealing with here?

Matt is an esteemed reporter for NBC. I have respected him for years.

His team was all badly beaten by Jewish supremacists - and they beat their Palestinian guide, a 51 year old woman, UNTIL SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

99.9% of people don't even know what's being even regulated.

I am a world champion athlete who has published peer-reviewed research in this field and I say it is clear that there is male-performance advantage over females.

Men on average are stronger than women due to the relative % of muscle vs. fat, and to power that extra muscle they have more oxygenating cells (haemoglobin) in the blood... ALL of which are controlled by hormones, they are not set at puberty. No-one disputes this.

Trans women who compete in female sports are on gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) — typically oestrogen plus medications to lower testosterone. This therapy leads to measurable changes in body composition and function.

What the evidence says about performance in trans women athletes⬇️

Research has shown worse performance for trans women compared to cisgender women in : lung function, efficiency of breathing, and fitness (Braga et al., Saitong et al., and Alvares et al.) when normalised to body size.

Cheung et al. (2023) after 2 years of GAHT, trans women show little to no physical performance advantage over cisgender women.

In a UK study, athletic trans women (on hormones for 4–6 years) had worse performance than cisgender women in lung function, jump height, and relative VO₂ max (a measure of fitness) than cis women, but absolute grip strength was higher.

In another study of national-level volleyball players, athletic trans women performed similarly to cis women (but below cis men) across multiple physical metrics.�

And the most comprehensive synthesis to date, a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis (Sieczkowska et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine) of 52 studies and 6,485 participants, found that trans women on 1–3 years of GAHT had upper-body strength, lower-body strength and relative VO₂ max comparable to cis women, despite higher absolute lean mass. The authors concluded the evidence does not support theories of inherent athletic advantage for trans women over cis women.�

2025 longitudinal study (Harper et al., European Journal of Sport Science) tracked 9 trans women runners and 1 trans woman swimmer before and after starting GAHT. Race times slowed by around 15% in runners (with bigger decrements in longer-distance events) and around 5% in the swimmer. After adjusting for training volume, the runners’ age-graded performance scores did not differ pre- versus post-GAHT, meaning they were roughly as competitive in the women’s category as they had previously been in the men’s category. This is the first study to use both retrospective and prospective data on the same trans women athletes before and after GAHT.

Despite frequent public talk, there is no robust empirical evidence that trans women increase injury risk to cisgender women in sport.

Most policies that cite safety are based on theoretical models (assuming trans women are the same as cis men, and comparing cis men to cis women), not on observed injury data.

Many sporting bodies have eligibility policies. These often require:

Maintaining testosterone levels below a threshold (e.g. < 5 nmol/L) for a set duration (e.g. 24 months).

Submission of performance data (times, strength metrics, prior competition data).

In summary

There is very low participation of trans people in sport due to a large number of barriers such as actual or anticipated discrimination.

Hormone therapy leads to substantial physical changes in trans women, which often narrow or eliminate many performance differences over time.

Any remaining differences are small and vary by sport. Some studies show a slight residual advantage in certain measures (e.g., handgrip strength) and a disadvantage in others (e.g., lung function and aerobic fitness). How much this matters depends on the demands of the specific sport.

Fairness and inclusion can coexist. With thoughtful, evidence-based policies, both can be achieved without resorting to blanket bans.

Its so crazy how easily the general public is distracted by this culture war bullshit.

You can't afford shit and don't have healthcare but washed up NBA players are declaring for the WNBA so you think you won something 💀

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Pretty simple. The right is constantly inventing totally crazy scenarios of gotcha moments that won’t happen to create a sense of hysteria.

Here are the facts:
— A trans woman has never played in the WNBA. In 30 years.

— Trans women are barred from competing in women’s sports in the NCAA and the Olympics.

— 29 states have banned trans girls participation in women’s sports K-12.

— The Supreme Court ruled states can exclude trans girls from participating in women’s sports.

Y’all won. Y’all got it. So why is the right still crying and whining about an argument that is backed by law and policy at virtually every level?

Wait, I have an answer. They want to erase trans existence period and no amount of exclusion, degradation, or denigration will ever be good enough for them.

SO they create these dumb, illogical, stupid-ass scenarios because there actually isn’t enough there for them to make a salient point. It’s fear-mongering bullshit that is designed to create a hostile environment for trans people. It’s weak.
