If you are recommending masks instead of requiring them, that means you know what is the right thing to do, but you'd much rather placate a minority of selfish anti-maskers instead of protecting the health of the majority.

So this was a lie. Elon just banned the account that posts his publicly available flight data. Nothing this man says can ever be trusted.

Monatelang haben die Verschwörer offenbar andere Polizisten und Soldaten angesprochen, ob sie vielleicht mitmachen wollen. Manche haben Ja gesagt, andere Nein. Aber kein einziger hat die Courage gehabt, sie zu melden. Das ist das Problem. Mein Kommentar

Meta is being sued for $2bn for fueling ethnic violence in Ethiopia. One of the lawsuit’s petitioners is the son of Meareg Amare, a University Professor who was hunted down and killed in 2021, weeks after posts inciting hatred and violence against him spread on Facebook.

Great to see Pink Floyd founder today in NYC at the "Free Julian Assange" rally at the British consulate. He demanded President Biden release the journalist who exposed US war crimes in Iraq.
Why is US media not raising hell about an attack on one of their own?

Why did more than 200,000 workers go on strike this year? Perhaps it’s because CEOs are now paid 399 times as much as a typical worker…

Justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people— even if a terrible crime placed them in prison. Today I am commuting all death sentences in Oregon to life without parole, so we no longer have anyone facing execution here.

This article about 's so-called budget crisis fails to mention the HUGE amounts of $$ NYPL WASTES every year on inflated executive salaries. Details on this thread: twitter.com/dieterknickboc

The problem with all those end-of-year emails about how they're all out of $ and need to close branches and cut services and hours is that NYPL leadership WASTES insane amounts of $$$ every year on their own inflated executive salaries. See thread below for the breakdown.😠
Quote Tweet
It's disgusting that @NYCMayor wants to cut @NYPL's budget by $5 million, but the NYPL's top executive salaries in 2021 was a record-breaking $11.5 million.
Instead of cutting hours, perhaps we don't need to pay CEO Anthony Marx $1,044,098 per year?

I see a lot of people wanting a “good billionaire” to resuscitate Bookforum, but maybe the lesson from this is that we need a model of a critical journal that’s owned by a collective of editors/workers, and not by a single whimsical rich person.

Former President Trump appears to have mentioned my brother #PaulWhelan's wrongful detention more in the last 24 hours than he did in the 2 years of his presidency in which Paul was held hostage by #Russia (zero). I don't suggest he cares now any more than he did then (zero)
Quote Tweet
Trump slams trade with Russia, saying, "Why wasn’t former Marine Paul Whelan included in this totally one-sided transaction? He would have been let out for the asking." Begging the question then of why Trump didn't free Whelan, who was imprisoned in 2018 during Trump's presidency

#PaulWhelan begged then-President Trump to "tweet your intentions" but the Administration was silent. You judge a person by their actions or, in this case, inaction.
