people needs to understand that reality and “what the law says is murder” are two things separated by a giant chasm of evidence.
a lot of the cases where people think criminals got off easy turn on an overconfident prosecution failing to sell a compelling story in light of the evidence

/4 I got a NG because the prosecution thought everyone would see the video the way they did, and didn’t think too hard “well does the video actually show the crime, or just show mayhem in general?” They focused on the optics over the elements.

I’ve done focus groups where we changed the mock jury’s perception of an altercation just by presenting two exhibits in a different order.

A career federal agent says that in 25 years, a fleeing vehicle has never justified killing its occupant, and officers should never stand in front of a running car. CBS reportedly pulled the interview, but it posted on YouTube.

"Being a man" is not the same thing as being a misogynist or an oppressor. That's what misogynists want men to believe, because they want men to think they can't divest from patriarchy without losing their entire identity.

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts.
Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

I think it's pretty disgusting that the vice president is desperately trying to smear a woman who was just murdered by the government. However, I do appreciate that most people are calling him a fucking liar

i mean this in the nicest possible way; the amount of stuff white people don’t know and just assume they know and understand about the justice system could fill an entire planet.
there is reality, and then there is the law, and there is a HUGE chasm in between the two.

/12 If you think it is obvious that the videos prove murder and nobody can say otherwise, your view is based on how you want the system to be, not how it is. It will be brutally hard, fighting inch by inch against what America is, to convict Jonathan Ross. Your feelings don’t enter into it.

/11 There will be legions of junk scientists and gun-for-hire experts ready to testify that Ross was following policy and acted reasonably.
(And this all elides the complicated set of rules that will apply when the prosecution gets removed to federal court, by the way.)

/10 The feds will be co-opting and threatening witnesses, and stochastically encouraging Trumpists to do so. The ICE agents on scene will be expected and eager to lie however necessary to defend their fellow Gestapo. Anyone within ICE who cooperates will be attacked, fired, maybe prosecuted.

/9 So, the Jonathan Ross case. Imagine that MN prosecutors listen to people on the internet and rush to charge him to show “we don’t tolerate murder around here.”
The feds have swept up all the physical crime scene evidence and quite possibly altered, destroyed, or disappeared it.

If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.
