    That's why we need to normalize and promote Jury Nullification.

    You know when they say "No jury will convict him?"

    We need to make that real, and a really common, thing.

    And then trumps pet supreme court overturns the right to a jury trial.

    It probably is but there's no more rule of law over there. Otherwise Trump would be in prison 10x over at minimum.

    Because working inside the system has been going so well for the past few decades. I don't advocate for violence or illegal direct action, of course, but this is clearly a response to the fact that our conditions have been worsening despite the majority being against so much of this surveillance state bullshit.

    You never improve the conditions of your citizens, only worsen, and ignore any calls for what the people want and you get desperate folks who feel they have nothing to lose.

    Remember how folks responded to Luigi Mangione. I have a feeling there will be more and more of that vibe until something truly changes.
