  1. CW: USPol: Pam Bondi insight

    Bit of insight into #USPol from someone who lived in #Florida while #PamBondi was #AttorneyGeneral here...

    This whole thing she does, where she becomes so focused on the media circus and theatrics that she forgets about practicing good #law or even trying to properly convict, has always been her style. She did it with the #TrayvonMartin / #GeorgeZimmerman and #CaseyAnthony cases, pushing bombastic murder charges when the evidence pointed to manslaughter.

    ...and I think that's what gets her in these higher positions. The #MainstreamMedia and #authoritarian movement don't care so much that she's not good at prosecuting, they care that she's building these wild stories for TV, creating sensational headlines and interviews. And when she fails to get a conviction? That's also good, because now they can spin the narrative that the #court and #jury system is somehow corrupt, because it fails to convict murderers.

    ...and that's likely why #Bondi is in the #Trump administration.

  2. CW: It's not "white fear" (Jordan Neely's murder)

    These murderers have their guns and keep them loaded not out of fear, but out of eagerness: they are actively looking for opportunities to murder Black people (and other marginalized people, such a trans women).

    Remember #AhmaudArbery; hell, remember #TrayvonMartin.

    "fear" is always the justification after the fact; 'fear' is the impunity ticket.
