this right here. Shoddy investigation. Overcharged etc. Don't blame the jury.

Happy about the Karen Read acquittal. No matter what anyone may think of her, the state didn’t prove its case — mostly because the cops didn’t investigate John O’Keefe’s death. They thought they could tag it on Read from the start, and their corruption bit them in the ass. That’s why people cheered.

The systemic bias protecting cops is one of the biggest issues in the U.S. Karen Read had a fighting chance, but imagine those without her wealth, whiteness, and public support. Most people never get the chance to tell their story. They end up jailed and silenced. This injustice must be stopped.

FYI, we are ALL #karenread. And let's remember this has happened to many POC without the good outcome. We need to stand up for them just as hard. If Karen could be framed like this, it can happen to all of us. Police - your blue wall won't always hold, so be on notice!

Still can’t get over the fact that a dead police officer was found on private property and they never knock on the homeowner’s door. #KarenRead

Justice is done. My thoughts are with the O’Keefe family. They still lost a son. #karenread #Karenreadtrial

Anyway - AWFUL police investigation - canton, Boston & the state PD needs to clean themselves up pronto. They are clowns. Mass criminal court oversight needed & verdict forms obv need revamping. No justice for John OKeefe but not guilty for #karenread verdicts were correct based on trial evidence.

she shouldn't even be guilty of the OUI bc theoretically she could have drank after she got home. All of those drunks including the policemen were driving over the limit that night.

KAINE: When you called the Gregg family to tell them that their dad's name was no longer gonna be on the base, what was their reaction? HEGSETH: The Army notified them K: You didn't call any of the families. I've spoken with them. They were called by the press. That's how they learned about this

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

i think we would have had a verdict today if judge bev hadn’t been deliberately obstructive in responding to the last jury question #karenread #karenreadtrial

I am not afraid of Donald Trump. I am not afraid of Tom Homan. I will stand up for the people of Illinois.

good grief #karenread another day

If I'm on the jury & Bev refused to clarify, I'm just voting not guilty on all counts. #Karenread

that the Judge refused twice to simplify

They sure are arresting a lot of Democratic politicians these days. I wonder if it's got anything to do with fascism?

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

If #karenread is convicted on an oui, everyone else at the bars on footage that night who drank equal or greater numbers of beverages need to prosecuted. Maybe those officers who texted about driving around drunk and losing both their gun and badge that night should also catch an oui.

Here are some phone numbers to call Mike Lee and demand his resignation. #pinks #WhereAreTheRepublicans

The larger courtroom was used for over a hundred years until AlanJackson pointed out that all jurors could NOT SEE the witnesses. The Commonwealth has been confusing juries for years with these muddled verdict slips. Leave it to Alan Jackson to do something about it. #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial

Is Trump more Putin’s bitch or Bibi’s bitch? Discuss.

We now have two juries back to back that were confused on how to complete a verdict slip. Maybe Massachusetts should revise the forms!? Just because it’s always been done that way doesn’t make it right. #KarenRead #KarenReadTrial

PAGING @massgovernor.bsky.social or whoever monitors her account. Democrat here. Fucking losing my mind.

for chrissakes!!! AGAIN??? Some court oversight please. We are begging!! @massgov.bsky.social this goes beyond Karen Read/Morrisey. #masspoli #massachusetts

Worth the read.

For the first time in its 116-year history, the NAACP will not invite the president to their convention. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Love to have a president who teases a war like it’s a very special episode of Love Island.

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.
