The drama starring former U.S. President Donald Trump that is now playing out in a New York City courtroom is more than just a criminal trial, it is a contest between competing concepts of power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/05/19/world/king-donald-trump/

Let’s start off with fact that #JusticeAlito needs to #resign immediately. It’s reported Alito was flying upside down flag outside his house after #January6. He responded by blaming his wife. This is absolutely ridiculous. Alito & #ClarenceThomas made our #SupremeCourt an abomination. They take straight up bribes from people who they are hearing cases from, go on lavish trips w them and have absolutely no #accountability whatsoever. Supreme Court needs term limits. https://www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/alito-and-thomas-made-supreme-court

@levampyre An upside-down American flag is a #symbol connected with false claims that the #2020election was stolen from #DonaldTrump. Individuals who were indicted and convicted for #insurrection on #jan6 used the upside down flag as a symbol of the #MAGA movement - so this is part of the symbolism used in the anti-democracy movement in America.

[NYTimes]: Susan Hoffinger, the prosecutor, picks up where she left off, with Michael Cohen on the verge of describing having made the hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels. She shows him a series of emails with Keith Davidson, who was Daniels’s lawyer in 2016. Davidson, who has already testified he was frustrated by a delay in receiving the payment, says in the email that it wasn't necessary for him to speak to Cohen, and that he just wanted to be paid. ..
