Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... She changed the world, really. It’s doubly sad she passed during current state of affairs. It must’ve been disappointing to witness the loss of tremendous progress she helped us achieve in the many decades she fought for women’s rights and equality. RIP OG. 🧠

Sending up the bat signal (literally): Any of you criminal trial lawyers want to help me prep to argue for the suppression of evidence? Specifically, to suppress the giant digital dragnet that Batman made using Wayne Enterprises phones at the end of the Dark Knight?
