Tues 29 May 2024 🧵
Good morning! It’s the last day of the #TrumpTrial before jury #deliberations.
Today Justice #Merchan will give #JuryInstructions. Then they will discuss the case among themselves for the first time; they have not been allowed to even discuss it w/each other as yet.
Closing arguments took place yesterday, & the lawyers will have no further opportunity to address the jurors before they determine whether #Trump is #guilty or not guilty of 34 felonies.
Justice #Merchan is back on the bench. He asks the attys, “Where do we stand?”
Prosecutor #Steinglass says that while they have “made a lot of progress,” they need his help to sort out which portions of the #transcript should be read back to the #jury.
Jurors asked for 4 portions — 3 from #Pecker’s testimony & 1 from #MichaelCohen.
Defense & prosecution aren’t agreeing on Pecker's #TrumpTowerMeeting testimony.
Der Thementeil, hg. v. Hanno Balz, widmet sich der Macht der #Farben in rassistischen & vergeschlechtlichten Diskursen. Die Autor*innen untersuchen, wie #Farben materiell & symbolisch wahrgenommen & genutzt wurden, um Bedeutung zu generieren, soziale Beziehungen zu prägen oder Differenz zu markieren:
Den Thementeil-Beitrag von Ramona Sammern (Salzburg) über die Konstruktion von #Whiteness in den Schriften venezianischer und römischer #Kunsttheoretiker des 16. Jahrhunderts gibt es übrigens als Leseprobe beim #transcript Verlag schon jetzt zum freien download:
Full #transcript of #Biden’s interview paints nuanced portrait #POTUS doesn’t seem as absent-minded as #Hur said
Biden was in the early stages of his interview w/ SC #RobertHur when the topic of #BeauBiden came up — initially w/Biden raising it & later as Biden was attempting to get his chronological bearings.
“What month did Beau die? [to introduce the topic] Oh God, May 30,” he said, naming the correct day, acc/to a transcript of the exchange.
