Point of information.
Did you know that NYC police have a special department to deal with jurors security. They have a bit of experience in doing this, in mob cases, they will meet with the jurors in today's case, and probably provide ongoing security.
Their identities will probably eventually leak.
Please do not post any information you might run across.

Understand what the Trump verdict means: That, IN FACT, Trump unlawfully cheated to win the 2016 election.
Then the election law felon went on to nominate 3 SCOTUS judges.
What profound injustice to us all that our system has no mechanism to right this history-altering crime. #Asswaffle #SCOTUS

Juror 10: What trial do you think this is?
Juror 8: That’s the stakes here, and you all know it! A boy pulls a switchblade —
Juror 9: This is Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
Juror 8: Donald Trump? [He looks at his instruction card.] Oh, no, I am in the wrong deliberation room.
Helping to keep our oasis safe is exactly why I am subscribed and give each month without fail. I'm well aware that things like bandwidth and server space aren't free. I also know many folks can't afford to give or go Pro and that's fine, too. For a time, I couldn't do it, either. There are three online services I subscribe to, and this is the only one of its' kind I will ever give money to. That's how much I believe in us.
@CanisVeritum Donnie doesn't pay Cannon. we do. Cannon is owned by the Heritage Foundation, as are Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavenaugh & Coney Barrett
@Alfred Do you know any stories about Bill Walton?
@peeppeepcircus @dauphin87 Yes, the first couple he bit were removed after having been found to be reporting to Trump and as Trump loyalists. Which oddly is buried somewhere as search engines are only talking about the biting incidents or the one that had a mental break on Harris team.
Roger Goodell weighs in on Harrison Butker's sexism, saying the NFL has "a diversity of opinions and thoughts just like America does. I think that's something that we treasure". Strange, that's not what you said about Colin Kaepernick kneeling ...

@Alfred How many rocks should I eat per day?
And now it turns out that a flag representing the idea that the 2020 election was stolen, that the people should engage in armed revolution against tyranny, and that the US should be a nation based in Christian theology has been flying over the home of Justice Alito.
“The [A]lito flag story does not teach me anything new about his politics but it does reveal how confident he is that nobody can do anything about him.”

#Politics #Trump From #Politico:
"Four months after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago estate, Donald Trump’s attorneys discovered four documents marked 'classified' in his personal bedroom ...
"... [A]nother Trump adviser connected to his Save America PAC had acknowledged scanning the contents of the box that contained the classified materials in 2021 and storing them on a personal laptop provided by the PAC."

#politics The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the leaders of Hamas. https://www.ft.com/content/aa2089c5-6388-437d-bf5c-9268f3a788ce
The neighbor dispute that Alito describes – including accusing some of his neighbors of being “very political” natch – doesn’t actually explain anything. “My neighbors were rude in blaming me for Jan. 6 so I proceeded to retaliate by showing my support for Jan. 6” is a first-class non sequitur.
Counter-programming my neighbor’s “Fuck Trump” sign with a symbol warning that America has been taken over by enemy forces maybe has an internal logic to it but it remains quite insane.
