As you read this travesty about a man in Alabama who has spent the last 38 years in prison for stealing $9, remember that the actual Wolf of Wall Street himself did less than two years for nearly $200 million in fraud.
THREAD: Today I talked to Willie Simmons, who has spent the last 38 years in prison for stealing $9. He was convicted of 1st degree robbery & sentenced to life without parole in 1982, prosecuted under Alabama's habitual offender law because he had 3 prior convictions. 1/12
A truly beautiful story. Warning: it may make you cry.
It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish. But it is also Christmas. So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter. I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.
.@facebook’s political ad policy only ensures a race to the bottom where truth is no longer a concept and the only winner is Facebook. This should be an issue for people of all political stripes. It’s not hard to imagine this swinging the other way. metro.co.uk/2019/12/10/inv…

Was it actually funny or did you just get the references?
Police shielding themselves behind cars so they can open fire, with people in those cars, is the epitome of American policing today.

“If you, as a White person, would like to be treated the way Black people are in this society, stand." Watch who stands in response to Jane Elliott’s invitation.
I need everyone to pay attention to what @Uber CEO @dkhos is saying here. Not only is he running cover for the Saudi government by saying the pre-planned murder of a @washingtonpost writer was a "mistake", he compares the murder of a human being to Uber making a tech glitch.
Uber CEO on Saudi Arabia's killing of Jamal Khashoggi: "It's a serious mistake. We've made mistakes too, right, with self-driving ... So I think that people make mistakes. It doesn't mean that they can never be forgiven"
@dscattbug @jasonhunter More importantly: WHO knew how athletic squirrels were?! Those action shots are amazing.
@jasonhunter @dscattbug I just watched it, yet again. 😂
@jasonhunter @dscattbug Who is responsible? Is this your genius?
No words.
1/ On Halloween, my family saw NYPD converge on a group of black teenagers in Brooklyn. My wife and our 6-year-old daughter saw an unmarked NYPD car going against traffic *hit one of the boys.* I asked the police about it. They say it didn’t happen.
Fun fact: when companies ask you to donate money to some charity, they are subsidizing their own tax breaks with your money. Corporations get tax deductions if they donate enough to charity, so why bother donating their own money when they can just donate yours instead?
I fucking hate grocery store check out screens asking me if I want to donate $20 to end child hunger or whatever. You’re a $10 billion corporation. I’m using a coupon to get 50 cents off a bag of potatos. Why don’t YOU donate $20 to end child hunger
While Bezos swims in money, don't forget: at one Amazon warehouse in Pennsylvania, temperatures sometimes soared to over 100 as workers raced all day to pick goods from the shelves. So many workers fainted or grew dehydrated that Amazon had paramedics parked in ambulances nearby
Jeff Bezos's new Washington, DC home, two adjacent mansions purchased for $23 million, will have 25 bathrooms, 287 fire alarm sprinklers and 1,006 light fixtures. @washingtonian:
