It's very interesting to me that one of the pieces of evidence that the prosecution has apparently not provided to Karen is luigi's journal with his alleged manifesto and in which he allegedly planned the whole assassination.... 🤔🤨 if he really just spells it all out in there why would that not be the first piece of evidence they put forward???

Photos from the protest outside Luigi Mangione’s court hearing in NYC today [x]

[captain-casual]

ok so let me recap ! (to my understanding) • It was a smaller court room this time allegedly because the previous one is having its sound system rewired or sth = significantly smaller capacity for attendees (supporters).

• Up until this court session, Luigi had stayed in federal custody, which means he was facing the T charge with its possible penalty; which was inconvenient because 1) his defense team were to fight both sets of charges simultaneously presumably burdening them with more stress & workload. 2) hindered their meetings before and after court “they stand over us and we get no time with him”. So per [@taliaotg], he will now be held by feds on complaint NOT CHARGES.

• When KFA goes to visit him in MDC, Luigi's not shackled, not closely monitored, and is free to walk around/sit in the visiting area; a stark contrast from his treatment in court today and on his previous court appearance.

• Discovery re NYC case was not only provided past the deadline but there were also no police reports by NYPD detectives (also referred to as dd5s) turned in. (when there should be) + the discovery re the Altoona arrest was only turned in today; there are serious search & seizure concerns to be litigated in all three cases (Altoona, state, and federal + his defense seems almost certain his constitutional rights were violated during that search in Altoona, PA).

• KFA didn't miss mentioning the press conference after his arrest, (where they decorated the officer who arrested him) cleverly tying it into her important argument that there's a clear effort to imply guilt and attribute it to his public perception, which is unconstitutional and very detrimental to his right to a fair trial (in case his rights were violated during the search in Altoona, the evidence from that becomes inadmissible, ultimately compromising his right to a fair trial).

• DOJ is refusing to transport him to PA despite his having a court date there on the 24ᵗʰ. (more unnecessary, illogical interference).

• Based off the wording in @/taniaotg's live tweets of the hearing, KFA seems to have been cut off by the judge... which is upsetting and feels very dismissive of the defense's concerns </3

now onto the uplifting stuff 💚🤗

• The literal first thing she utters into the mic is “Luigi thanks everybody for being here today” 💚

• KFA is FOR press presence and is hoping it would be allowed in the future (meaning it was the authorities that didn't consent/denied the application). She reveals she's willing to continue giving statements (as she did today) after future court dates if the media coverage still isn't allowed: however, she refrains from taking questions or giving statements outside of that specific setting/context (outside court, post hearing).

• KFA also told the supporters in the hallway “Luigi supports you” per an attendee on twt [@taliaotg] (I'm so- 🥹 we're truly one allied green bunch I love us 💚)

• KFA read that musty mayor to filth over sitting for hair & makeup and getting lippy about Mr. Mangione on disreputable media outlets' project (the documentary), when no paperwork had been submitted and forensic evidence hadn't been admitted either.

• There was SO MUCH cheering heard in the available footage and as told by people who were present.

• There was a point where she seemed to be fighting the habit of saying Luigi as she goes "Mr L-...Lui-...Mr. Mangione" and it's just adorable me thinks 🤭

• KFA ends her statement by reiterating the most important point which is the infringement on Luigi's right to a fair trial due to the media perpetuating the presumption of guilt, and that it is unusual and completely unethical. Lastly, she reiterates Luigi's gratitude and appreciation for the supporters.

I, too would like to thank the supporters — and those from NYC especially, for showing up and showing out for Luigi ! You've made this stressful event more bearable for him and for us who cannot be there so thank you, truly.

that is all ! 🍏

If you are planning on showing up to the courthouse to spectate the hearing, they are currently refusing entry at the doors. You will be asked to stand outside in the cold and his hearing does not start until 2:15PM. Please plan accordingly. If you would like to participate in the protest, please see our other post or visit peopleoverprofitnyc.org/protest for more information.

Side note to reporters - in this photo you can tell there are lots of mixed ages and genders. We will know if you're lying about "tons of fan girls" in your reports. [x]

Dear New York Citizens: YOU'RE freeing Luigi. We're counting on you, New Yorkers.

When we say FREE LUIGI we're not asking the president, the judge, nor the prison. We're asking YOU, the people of New York who get jury duty this case to answer Not Guilty. YOU'RE the ones freeing him. You're the ones who need to follow the instructions:

Jury Duty exists so that the public can weigh in on what they believe is right. That's why you're there in that courtroom. We know what's right. We're just counting on you to say it.

Even if there's overwhelming evidence that he did it, it is your right as the jury to say "not guilty." This is called Jury Nullification. It means that even though he did it, even if he did it, we as a society believe that what he did should not be punished with death. You aren't failing or doing something illegal or shady by answering not guilty. It's not a morality test, it's not some kind of way to trip you up, you're not doing anything wrong. You are doing your civic duty exactly how you are supposed to. Your civic duty right now is to Free Luigi.

so basically they have the prettiest man on the planet locked up and I’m meant to act normal about it? YOUR HONOR HE’S SERVED ENOUGH

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

[captain-casual]

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, uaing the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors
