HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.
The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.

I used to think that putting data for 2 different studies into 1 was helpful. I no longer think this. Report each study separately. If they don't stand alone; they don't stand together.

Really not a Pro tip: You don't have to add all your variables to your logistic regression. Consider what a DAG might look like. If you can't-->don't press enter to run the model.

Law enforcement officers CANNOT use deadly force against a fleeing person fleeing unless they have a reasonable belief that the individual poses a danger to others (e.g., they know the person is armed). If in vehicle, the person must be threatening to use deadly force with the vehicle or other means

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Can we just call it free agency?
Washington QB Demond Williams announces he's entering the portal. That's a big one.
"I have to do what is best for me and my future."
Comes just days after it was reported Williams was signing a deal to stay at UW.

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.
