I just got a really small writing assignment with a super tight word count, and I wrote it, checked for typos, was happy with it, and then hit the word counter and I hit the word count *exactly* and I yelped "THE SOUL OF WIT, motherfucker."

The judge has just denied the defense’s motion to declare a mistrial. He said he would hope elected officials would stop talking about the Derek Chauvin trial. But he adds one congresswoman’s opinion won’t make the difference.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

Eric Nelson is now using Rep Maxine Waters saying that protesters should get “more active” & “more confrontational” if Derek Chauvin isn’t convicted as a reason for a mistrial to be declared. He’s claiming she threatened violence.

Fact check: Waters did not threaten violence.

“One reason the rollout of these actions took longer than anticipated is because the White House was not satisfied with the options the State Dept initially presented and wanted more expanded sanctions.” CNN

Thank you to President Biden and VP Harris for defending America.

To recap: American troops can’t/don’t use tear gas in war because the UN banned it’s use but American police forces use tear gas against American citizens exercising their first amendment rights.

Dear Teenage Boys,

Despite what you may hear from ‘adults’, it is not “boys being boys” or “harmless fun” or in any other way ok to touch a woman sexually without her crystal clear consent.

Dear Teenage Girls,

Don’t keep that shit inside. We believe you. Also... Punch. Hard.

@KimberlyEAtkins @JoyceWhiteVance Me: Bad news, I think Man 2 is the best we can hope...
You Guys: SHE'S GONNA WALK.
Me: We don't know that. There's definitely a credible case for...
You Guys: AND IF SHE DOESN'T IT'LL GET KICKED ON APPEAL.
Me:

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

@JoyceWhiteVance I'd argue that she "consciously" pulled out a weapon a fired it, thus taking the apparently reckless chance it was a gun and she was going to kill the guy.

If she wants to argue there was no reasonable chance of confusion in her weapons... then... well... how she get it wrong?

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

2nd degree manslaughter, on the other hand, is "unreasonable risk" of killing or causing harm. And, she did that on the face of the video alone.
So, if I'm a prosecutor just going on the video, 2nd degree to start. But I'm still looking for evidence to support Man 1.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

I know some people I very much respect are going to disagree with me here. But as I read the MN statutes it feels like 2nd degree manslaughter is about the right charge for Potter.
I'd *want* 1st degree, but "intentionality" is gong to be a tougher one in this case than others.

There should be an inquiry into Caputo’s contact with Russian intelligence while he was downplaying COVID and spreading conspiracy theories that probably led to people dying.

[Scott Stedman @ScottMStedman]

Feels like it should be a bigger story that Trump aide Michael Caputo worked with Russian spies to slander Biden and then Trump promoted him to lead spokesman for Health and Human Services during the pandemic.

I’ll never forgive the media for making it seem like it’s mostly Black people committing hate crimes against Asian Americans when it is in fact white supremacist white people who have done almost all of the hate crimes against us throughout history. By far, I fear them the most.

No title. No security. And multiple conversations about how dark Archie was going to be?
