Great story about one jury doing their civic duty. Quote: “It felt good erasing the slight taste of bitter irony I had coming from the knowledge that while 12 ordinary citizens did their civic duty, our nation’s “highest leaders” demonstrate daily that they do not give a goddamn about breaking the laws for their own benefit and no one holds them accountable.” (h/t The Best of Journalism)

Quote for the day:
So in summary: it appears that this was a shooting where the victim, an influencer, was answering a question from another influencer when he was shot by a third influencer, after which a fourth influencer documented the ensuing chaos and a host of other influencers registered their takes, before the director of the FBI (an influencer) and the deputy director of the FBI (another influencer) announced the alleged shooter’s apprehension with a quote from Mad Max. —Today in Tabs
