Hey folks:

@heathercoxrichardson and I just recorded a new Instagram convo about the impact of watching DJT in court—and what it means.

I've been thinking about this.

This is the kind of fear people have when asked to serve on a jury for a trial involving a mobster.

HEY.
REPORTERS.
STOP DOING THIS.

Everyone deserves a fair trial.
This is getting in the way of one.

This is what authoritarians do: incite violence against anyone seen as having the power to harm Cult Leader. This is also designed to make it very difficult to find jurors and thus proceed with the trial. It is form of sabotage of our democratic justice system.

Well….I definitely would have gone to that dinner!

I have watched this more than once.
I'll admit.

The New York Times presents this in cynical political terms, as if no one in a position of power could possibly give a damn about the environment and decide to do the right thing.
It’s this kind of spin that makes the Times toxic to good government.

If you’re in the State College area we hope you’ll join us tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday for the Brose Lectures featuring the incomparable Thavolia Glymph! Glad to see you for one or all three; lectures are free and open to the public.

Yay!
Two books in the wild!

It's the 'me boys' that just won't leave my brain.
'Never fight uphill, me boys.'

Pirate?
Irish pirate?

Whining about not being able to live the #Strongmen dream of committing crimes with impunity. Pretending to be a family man. Throw in some victimhood. It's all propaganda for the cameras.

It’s just ridiculous that Thomas is allowed to be on this case. Absolutely corrupt and ridiculous.

Spoken like a man whose wife was conspiring to overthrow the US government.

In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that's because his wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he's sitting on this case. #SCOTUS

Thread.

I can’t compete with this

NEW: It’s 9:12 pm, and Don Hankey’s Knight Specialty Insurance Company has not yet filed court papers to justify their $175 million bond in Trump’s civil fraud case. That filing is due *today.*
