So to recap, SCOTUS says: * We justices are the executive branch now * The majestic equality of the laws prohibits both rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges * Obstructing the certification of the president after an election is, at least in isolation, very cool and very legal

When you & everyone you know can easily do [thing], it's easy to assume "everyone you know" = "everyone," unless you stop to think about it, which a lot of people don't. If you have ready access to whatever forms of media you want, whenever you want them, it's easy to think "who goes to libraries?"

Disabled people are not seen as reliable narrators of our own lives + our traits are used to demonize us or impugn our motives ... The cops in this case also seemed shocked that Karen Read got herself a good attorney. They probably figured disabled = not much $.

Wow those texts in the Karen Read trial from the lead investigator. I've been saying her disability made it easy for the cops to target her for the frame job, and there was Proctor, dropping the R word, making fun of her Crohn's & MS while searching her phone for nudes.
