The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

I don’t expect the Eagles offense to suddenly figure it all out but I do think they’ll be significantly better. In large part they’ll be much better because Hurts will run more. That will open up a lot for them.

Anyone with a lot of money who truly cares about our country could run a simple and not all that expensive campaign to kill X in months. Just target athletes, the pro leagues and actors. Make it a PR nightmare for them to remain on the site. They’ll delete their accounts cause money matters most.
If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?

this was a good summary by Corey. he buried the lede a bit, which is that although in his opinion the state would have a hard time convicting the officer for the first shot subsequent shots once the car is moving away from the officer probably are enough to get to attempted homicide/homicide.
My initial take on the criminal law governing the ICE shooting in MN:
609.066 of the MN Code controls a self-defense claim for a "peace officer" under state law. I'm not going to consider federal law given the capture of the DOJ by the Trump administration. 1/
