No…I didn’t forget.๐๐๐
Never forget, this was the original election manipulation. Without this, we would not have had the crimes in Georgia or 1/6.
๐จMAJOR BREAKING: First photos have emerged showing Donald Trump entering the courtroom.
Images show Trump sullen, quietly walking slowly accompanied by Secret Service and NY police officers.
This is the first โperp walkโ captured of a former United States president.

Maddow: So far he is just giving his normal list of grievances. We donโt consider that necessarily newsworthy and there is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things pic.twitter.com/1x9E5NxqPb

Black ppl saving America from itself again. Alvin Bragg. Fani Willis. Letitia James. Have trump&Tucker Carlson whined that trumpโs being persecuted bc heโs white yet? We need Merrick Garland&Jack Smith to step up, integrate this shit&take that argument away from trump ASAP. ๐ pic.twitter.com/OW3gCMRusM

Falsifying business records is not a minor matter. The faithfulness of business records and financial reporting is, literally, the basis of a functional market economy. Wild to see โCapitalistsโ be so dismissive of these charges.
— BombayK (@OuterBoroRoyal) April 4, 2023
NEW: Per @adamreisstv who was inside of the courtroom, the Trump indictment is 34 counts of Falsification of Business Records "in the first degree," (which suggests they are felonies), and Conspiracy.

Good morning @ManhattanDA. So thankful for you being DA at this time and grateful to be alive to witness justice being served. God bless you in every way. Amen! #TrumpIndictment https://t.co/cfbT1hz0cJ

We might have Trump fatigue, but I will never get tired of seeing the twice impeached & indicted Trump being humiliated by this historic criminal arraignment. There's a particular poetic justice to a Black mayor, Black Commissioner & Black DA, Alvin Bragg being in charge today. pic.twitter.com/1VvXmrD9QF

But, somehow getting charged with 34 felonies is a sign of strength?๐ I am with Marshall
Itโs actually not a win to get all the attention when youโre getting arrested and arraigned on multiple felony indictments. I donโt pretend this is a great insight. But a lot of people donโt seem to understand it. pic.twitter.com/8VCw5yirUB

I believe it has been generationally ingrained in Black people to "bear witness" because if we don't see for ourselves, we can't trust the narratives that will take root. See: American Historyhttps://t.co/DQ05i4aqjk
