Hey @dsalo you may be ignoring the Trump trial for sanity’s sake, but the jury selection process & whats being reported out about jurors is a solid case study in how to make de-identification pointless. Some of the press descriptions of jurors are so detailed the lack of name or image is basically irrelevant. Perhaps useful for one of your classes? Any major news source will do tho I think the Washington Post has been most descriptive?

Update:

Anyone who says the later either doesn't understand the situation, or is perfectly fine with Palestinian civilians suffering in an apartheid state with limited economic freedom and without self determination.
