i realize this is a tough thing for jurors, sometimes. but we’re a smart bunch.

i also wish we cd include a note w an alert. i was a mod back in the day, when u cd do that. those comments so often informed us of things we didnt know.
i can remember many alerts for antisemitic tropes that i didnt recognize.

i feel like the whole world is lies these days.
