If you don't know this story, you should read up on it.

Meek Mill’s case is a prime example of a racially biased judicial system. That the "judicial" system can be wielded like a weapon and that the system is wielded against non-white people is something we as a nation need to expose and deal with. It's not okay. It's not right, and it shouldn't be excused or justified by anyone.

This was part of a series of pardons issued by outgoing Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf. It matters.

If one person punches another person in the face and says it's OK because punching is their shared culture, ask the person who's been punched if they agree.

The Taliban thugocracy has responded to the Afghanistan chapter of our new World Report by saying universal human rights are not wanted in Afghanistan.

I’d be willing to bet at least half the population thinks otherwise – the half called women and girls, whom the Taliban treat as sub-human animals.

@RFancio @mathewi @cjr we need to rid our press of this reported perception “It seems that some Mastodon users aren’t all that receptive to the ways in which journalists tend to use social networks” https://www.cjr.org/analysis/journalists-want-to-recreate-twitter-on-mastodon-mastodon-is-not-into-it.php

I for one welcome the press on #Mastodon - while acknowledging that generating controversy for clickbait is a nuisance. Objective and well-researched reporting is needed #FreePress

A self-proclaimed "Alpha-Male" MAGA bro is melting down about the new "feminist" M&Ms packaging.

Honestly, it's not entirely clear to me whether he is punking us or really is this much of a snowflake. Watch and you be the judge:

Yesterday, someone I was helping told me in a very insulting way to stay in my lane.

Today, I'm enjoying the freedom watching a train hurtling toward a bridge that might be out without feeling any responsibility for anything that might happen.

Not my problem, yo. 🤷

Can we all pledge to go 'camera off' during zooms in 2023, please??

Powerful ocean waves.
Water and wind.
A powerful combination.

#TomFord (new queer neighbour) is about to make life even more awkward for Trump at Mar-a-Lago

In 2019, a tweet went viral with a quote attributed to Ford that claimed he didn’t want to dress Melania because she’s a “GLORIFIED ESCORT”

Today the Trump organization was fined $1.6 MILLION after being convicted for 17 felonies, including tax fraud. In a related story, I lost a quarter today when it fell onto the subway tracks.

Someone's worried no one will show up! #Trump #2024
