#BREAKING: Trump found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records by a jury of his peers in New York.

What a moment for the future of democracy, for justice, and for everyone Trump has wronged, hustled, threatened, or intimidated for decades.

Trump fought the law, and the law won!

Judge Merchan will sentence Trump on July 11.

It is perhaps ironic this verdict was handed down on May 30, traditionally US Memorial Day. Revenge from all those ‘suckers and losers’ who died in defense of their country?

@randahl I wouldn't start crowing too soon. There'll be appeals up the wazoo and an infinite amount of media scab-scratching.

@LynnU @randahl Without celebrating interim victories, it's impossible to keep fighting. Whether it's protecting democracy, holding corrupt politicians accountable, or fighting climate change, if the problem is too big, you have to break it down into smaller steps and celebrate every step along the way.

It's been four years since Trump left office, and it's a moment to celebrate that the rule of law still exists. There is still time tomorrow to continue defending it - refreshed and motivated.

@weddige @LynnU @randahl I have strong flashbacks of Silvio Berlusconi in Italy.

@darshan out of interest: Darshan would you care to elaborate on that comparison?
