This trial exposed how much David Pecker helped Trump by constantly putting fake negative news about his opponents on every grocery store aisle in America. Pecker freely admitted it. I wonder if that exposure has done anything to change the minds of people who believed those stories. Or whether these people might view future tabloid headlines with a more skeptical eye. Probably not.
"And here’s a fun fact: There are many countries that will not admit #felons across their borders. This includes, apparently, Canada. #Trump cannot even travel to many countries, including some of our closest allies, and yet he hopes to represent the #UnitedStates. The absurdity of this stuns."

A Man Of His Convictions
The fallout from the jury verdict against Donald Trump begins.Jay Kuo (The Status Kuo)
Trump raised a record-breaking $34.8 million the day after being convicted of election interference. That's nearly double their previous largest single-day online donation amount.
29.7% were new donors.
This is not a drill. He will get reelected unless people on the left step up to oppose him. And #Project2025 makes it clear how much worse things can get, both domestically and abroad. #VoteBlue

Don Jr. Calls the United States a 'Third-World Sh*thole' After Jury Convicts Father
Donald Trump Jr. demoted the United States to "third-world shithole" status on Thursday after a jury in New York convicted his father Donald Trump.Michael Luciano (Mediaite)
My main (and far out) hope with regard to the #Trump verdict is that it causes at least some people to notice that he and the media ecosystem around him have been lying to them about the trial this whole time.
For months they’ve been spouting that this is a case without merit, without evidence, without even charges. It’s a slam dunk: OF COURSE he’ll be let off.
Well, the guilty verdict is going to cause at least some people to wonder what went wrong, look into it, and notice they were told so wrong.
Maybe Trump will appeal and have the charges reversed. BUT he’d never be able to unring the bell of people noticing that he (and media figures) mislead them so, well, hugely.

Donald Trump is now the first sitting or former U.S. president to be convicted of a felony.
But in other countries, ex-leaders have been investigated, prosecuted and even jailed – in the interest of protecting the rule of law.

I hope people get that Nikki Haley went over there to make everything as much worse as possible.
Those pics of her scribbling those obscenities on bombs will circulate for years.
_This was intentional_.
You get that, right? She's a former UN ambassador. Like Nixon sabotaging peace talks in Vietnam and Reagan working to keep US hostages in Iran, she knows _exactly_ what she did.
_This was intentional._
Biden's been pushing Netanyahu towards a two-state solution for months and despite the "Genocide Joe" crowd's crap, he's pushed back more on Israeli militarism more than any US president ever just by doing it at all.
This was sabotage. It was intentional. AGAIN.
DON'T repeat the same mistakes. DON'T reward it AGAIN.

Facebook just took down roughly 100 pages and profiles for violating the site's rules that prohibit “militarized social movement,” including militia groups that take personal responsibility for defending their communities from a variety of perceived threats.
These 100 pages are just a tiny fraction of the thousands of militia groups Facebook has previously kicked off the site, supposedly permanently.

There’s nothing groundbreaking about protesters’ tactics of taking over university buildings or erecting encampments on college lawns.
These students – knowingly or unknowingly – are part of a long history of radical student organizing. There are echoes of both the protests against the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s and more recently, of South African apartheid in the 1980s.

Trump keeps promising he would enact the largest domestic deportation operation in American history, exceeding 'Operation Wetback' in the 50s, which deported hundreds of thousands of Mexicans.

“Alito doesn’t deny the flag was flying upside down, doesn’t deny its meaning, doesn’t express any disapproval for it and doesn’t disavow it.”
This wasn’t a random period of time. It was AFTER January 6 and BEFORE the inauguration.

A Justice has never made a more persuasive case for the Legislature to kick them out on their ass for bad behavior than has Alito.

Samuel Alito Didn’t Give a F--k Then and He Doesn’t Give a F--k Now
He can’t even be bothered to disavow the meaning behind the upside-down flag that was flown on his lawn in support of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.Bess Levin (Vanity Fair)
This is an example of NYT really being disingenuous, really upping the temperature with sensationalized stories as it promotes a meaning that’s sensational and clickbaity whole giving short shrift to the longstanding and common meaning.
The upside down flag is a sign of general distress, adapted by people across communities with various perspectives and causes.
They might as well say that the wearing of pants is a symbol adapted by right wingers.
This is the sort of thing that needs to be called out in #journalism these days. It’s not helpful, and it causes people to lose trust in journalistic institutions.
#NYT needs to do better, for the sake of society.
