You do NOT censor Maxine! She's amazing, you do NOT censor her.

NS Stats are mostly accurate except for a few things, like this nation is capitalist and the death penalty isn't in effect

News:All trade with Crabaiaia and Pikala has stopped as diplomats meet in Trenaka.  Silvedanians are confused by Quentin Tarantulatino's new film, Seasonal Snackbox(This is a Bojack Horseman reference.) Weird song goes viral for making no sense.

She might have given Chauvin a path at appealing for a new trial, which would mean we get to do this all over again.

Nixon made that mistake with Charles Manson, and then immediately tried to walk it back to prevent a mistrial. Because in our reality, Nixon was more careful about not fucking with an ongoing trial than Maxine Waters is.

Ah thanks. I feel like Brooklyn or the Bronx will explode first in NYC if the verdict is not guilty.

Over Chauvin verdict.

Anyone in NYC that can give an impression?

I've been hopping between like the UWS and Washington Heights all day and things seemed pretty normal? But now I'm cloistered away ""studying"" (posting here and stressing abt the work I'm not doing lol) so idrk if things seem edgy elsewhere, and I haven't been downtown or over towards Brooklyn where a lot of stuff happened last summer

He was released from work early. I really hope nothing bad happens. Anywhere. Last year was hard, and although I do understand why the protests, the atmosphere here is heavy.

I’m insignificant, mind you, and my tiredness about the violence and death mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I’m weary of it all.

The last time I was this genuinely anxious over a court ruling was when we had that whole court ruling about how it was illegal to fire workers for being LGBTQ and whew it is not a pleasant feeling

It's warm enough that even if it's not guilty, it's not unlikely that some people will get together to smash some police van windows or something tbh, just because New Yorkers have a truly psychotic fondness for causing public nuisances

Imma keep it real with you, I'm entering like my first career, and I'd rather not do it while America burns. Let me at least put myself through grad school first before shit goes to hell.

Irrelevant. You said even if he was guilty. Meaning whether he is in fact a murderer or not does not factor in here. You want him to be freed, regardless, even if he was a murderer. Meaning you are okay with a murderer walking the streets without punishment.

Why bother? There is absolutely no point. We'll just go through several more rounds of "that's not what I said" "you all misunderstand" "I don't follow the trial" etc.

It's running on a treadmill, you're not going to make any headway.

I’m saying the way you suggested that the National Guard would use loaded rifles against potential protesters seems very, well, not sure how to describe it, but it seemed wrong in general

I recall reading that she could jeopardize the entire case, though I expect nothing less from someone connected to the NOI. She should be Censured.

Ok, you're like the fourth person to do this, but...

Censured and censored are not the same thing.
