Do you think more Americans are on Twitter or Tik Tok?
The vast majority of Americans aren't on Twitter.
Over 75% of Americans don't use Twitter or Tik Tok, per Edison.
Facebook actually has way more saturation - yet how many discussions/articles/media still over-sample people's reactions via Tweets, rather than FB?

Is that b/c of a comfort with Twitter by many "narrators," or also that its 'architecture' is easier than FB's for finding reax?

Delta has a great "capability, effectiveness and efficiency in going from person-to-person. Its transmissibility is really quite competent."

THIS.

Dr. Fauci on why you should get vaccinated in *one* sentence:

"99.5% of U.S. Covid deaths are among unvaccinated people."

On the Supreme Court, justices go to great lengths to tout American democracy for the nation — while avoiding its trappings in their own work.

They do not organize themselves by party.

They do not negotiate with each other over rulings.

They do not endorse political views..
.. Justices say they follow the Constitution’s edict, that only by *avoiding politics* can the judiciary be an effective *referee for democracy.*
SCOTUS passed one partisan test:

Whether to take cases questioning the election, as demanded by a President who gave three of the justices their lifetime jobs.

The court rejected *even hearing* any of those suits, because Trump's lies had no merit.

More signs point to imminent charges in the Trump Org case...

Prosecutors "are likely to issue one or more criminal indictments this week.”

reuters.com/world/us/ny-pr…
That is close to what Trump's own lawyer said -- this week or next.

And while prosecutors can give targets the chance to "make a case" against charges, it rarely, rarely reverses planned charges.
Corporations are *not* people -- but they *can* be indicted....

We have been reporting on how the D.A. may use his legal authority to "try to indict the Trump Organization" itself -- like in this June 2 report on Trump's exposure:

The former deputy to D.A. Vance wrote the guidance for when to indict an entire company, last week we broke down those legal factors for whether to indict Trump Org:

Legally, today marks an extremely rare occurrence in America -- a police officer convicted of murder on the job.

Even in 2021, many do not realize *how* rare...
From 2005 to 2015, across thousands of police killings, the number of police officers convicted of murder for shooting a person was...

Zero.
The fact is U.S. police are almost never convicted of murder on the job.

Data on murder convictions for police shootings by Prof. & former officer @philstinson:

Would you say people commonly use social media in "meta" ways, or not really?
like a tweet about tweeting is meta (and regrettable, sorry)
do not retweet this.
