This Bluesky post my a journalist is from ~45m ago.
NEW: Judge Merchan notifies the parties in People v. Trump that the following comment was posted about a week ago on the NY Courts Facebook page:
"My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! ❤️”

Good news: Katie Phang thinks there’s reason to believe the FB comment from the supposed juror’s cousin is a fake...
I bet the journo ends up deleting that post because "good news" will get him in trouble if the right-wing learns about it.
This is like that time someone posted “my cousin works at reddit and said r/cth is being banned next week”
