Screenshot from New York Today newsletter by The New York Times, with a highlighted quote: “For Donald Trump and his felony convictions, what I will say is he and his case illustrate very clearly in today’s times the two tiers of justice,” she said. “The people that we serve are not able to be out typically on bail if they are facing 34 felonies” — and probably would not have been freed after they were found guilty. Trump was convicted in 2024 in Manhattan on 34 counts of falsifying records to cover up hush money paid to the porn star Stormy Daniels. “The message, I think, of Donald Trump is our clients would like to experience the same criminal legal system that he got to experience,” Carter said.

I love how public defenders talk about the president of the United States vis-à-vis the casual cruelties their clients experience every day:

Our client Leo Garcia Venegas and two other victims of DHS’s lawlessness got to introduce themselves to Secretary Noem today.

The room fell silent when they stood.

I wonder what Thundercat thinks about Iran

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

most of my IG feed is Vegeta's SSJ anniversary

and now we learn he did this only because the Saudis and Israel asked

A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them.

I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran.

So here goes nothing. 🧵

and I'll just say I'm grateful that for all of our problems "please bomb my country" is not one of those strongly held opinions, because then you get "wHy iS it So hArD tO saY bOTh tHingS arE trUE!?!" and no, just no. That's a comfy fence, Humpty Dumpty

as a member of a very opinionated diaspora, who moved here as an adult, I am having a tough time today. thinking about the many Puerto Ricans who have never lived in Puerto Rico but have very strong opinions about it that are not shared by even a sizable minority of people who actually live there

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

fuckkkkkk

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a ‘cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

they put new wheels on the glass cannon and now we have to watch an overrated boxer fight for another four years

no doubt 80% of his fanbase is incel aspiring looksmaxxers

hate that I paid to see this fight. No other boxer gets to lose twice (including a nasty KO), get caught doping, and get another main event, but here we are. I bet most of us are hoping he's done after tn.

sad that none of my enemies are on here
