We need to have laws against jurors giving interviews or writing books. Juries should remain anonymous.
The lone juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial repeatedly got irritated by how the mostly female jury would blabber over eachother, according to the Daily Mail. The black juror grew irritated when everyone talked at once and preferred to speak with his wife and watch videos on his phone. "He would get upset and say, 'Listen to what she's saying, listen to what he's saying, be respectful,'" juror Paula Devlin told the Daily Mail. "... He would get upset and just take all this time lecturing us about not being respectful." This guy sounds awesome.

Replies not allowed? Can't imagine what she's afraid people might say.
Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/coll…

NorCal is different from SoCal, and Inland is different from Coastal. But that's what makes the USA extra special.
I always thought America was one country 🇺🇸 But Americans on X keep saying "Well in MY state it's totally different" Texas. California. New York. Florida. It sounds like 50 small countries in a trench coat. Is that a fair way to think about it? Please quote-tweet with your state flag! 🙋

The first 8 minutes of the national newscast I watched this evening was about the hunta virus. No mention of the shenanigans in TN.

Once you get past being distracted by looking at this beautiful human in that beautiful setting, you get to some wise and measured words. Can we all just learn how to disagree, have a conversation, and come to resolutions?
And this is why politicians lie.

Any organization that receives government monies, should be banned from making political donations. ANY government monies.
Daycares in Minnesota donated a combined $35 million to political campaigns in the last two years They didnt even try to hide the money trail. somaliscan.com
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The $35 million figure refers to government funding received by Minnesota daycares through the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), not political donations made by them to campaigns. dcyf.mn.gov/programs-direc… OP Admitted that he knows this fact but says "We have just stopped following the rules" x.com/beaverd/status…

My father chose the End of Life Option 7 years ago when his cancer spread to his brain. It was dignified and peaceful.

I can't even watch. The man is being used and abused by those closest to him. Let him retire to the beach with the millions his family grifted and let the country move on.

Really Google? You couldn't take out one day out of Holy Month to acknowledge the men that literally threw themselves on swords for freedom from fascism and tyranny?

How many homosexuals did the Nazis imprison, torture, or kill? How many more would have been persecuted had the war gone longer?

.@SenRogerNiello @Patterdude I urge you to reject the Governor's proposed $1 billion in delayed funding to services for 458,000 Californians with developmental disabilities! People with #IDD & the workforce deserve to live full, equitable lives! p2a.co/twitterimage?id=17062…

Another example of reducing standards to the lowest common denominator. Just like Oregon graduation requirements.

Our best and brightest? Our future leaders and lawmakers? Stanford Law and the other once elite institutions are a joke. Their confidence in their own views is so tenuous they can't even hear opposing positions. Weak.

And the press will cover him nonstop, feeding his ginormous ego, and pulling votes away from true conservatives.

Is Microsoft aware that half these colors are at war with each other?
Replying to @Microsoft
Inspired by the public's response to our 2022 Pride flag, we’re expanding our design to represent 40 LGBTQIA+ communities—and making it available for everyone to use and build on: msft.it/6003dVIsN
"The state is our child . . ." Yes!!
Replying to @TimothySandefur
It can no more do that than it can magically create wealth or perfect safety. (Or deliver the mail efficiently, for that matter.) The state is our child—NOT our parent. It takes its lessons, sustenance, & discipline from US, not the other way round.
