If having pale features makes you fair, does being dark mean you are unfair?

The family of Sanda Dia, the black student who died in a cruel initiation ritual, only received partial justice. The fraternity students who forced Dia to perform degrading and dangerous rituals were only sentenced to 300 hours community service #SandaDia theguardian.com/world/2023/ma…

The idea that European Council President Charles Michel can offset his frequent private jet use is a flight of fancy. If @CharlesMichel is serious about reducing his carbon footprint, he can: * Stop using private jets * Fly economy class * Fly less carbonmarketwatch.org/flights… twitter.com/pgreenfielduk/…

The English so enjoy standing in line that they line up a string of unnecessary letters to spell out the monosyllabic word 'queue', when they could so easily just write 'q'.

That the parent who demanded the banning of 'The hill we climb' couldn't tell Amanda Gorman and Oprah Winfrey apart speaks volumes about ignorance and racism. That the school banned the poem speaks volumes about ignorance and racism. This is the hill that freedom dies on. twitter.com/TheAmandaGorma…

At another level, Henry Kissinger was a ruthless and unscrupulous political manipulator who committed war crimes that led to widespread death and destruction and helped prop up some of the vilest regimes of the time. thenation.com/article/world/…

Henry Kissinger is about to turn 100. At one level, his story is inspiring: a highly intelligent and ambitious refugee who fled persecution to find success in his adoptive land.

This is a great hands-on opportunity to gain experience in MENA policy advocacy. Our advocacy associate works closely with me as we work to impact policy related to MENA with govts & institutions around the globe. This is a front row seat to multipronged policy advocacy. twitter.com/TimepDC/status…

What exactly is the appeal of being or becoming a billionaire? Isn't that like the wealth equivalent of morbid obesity? And why is it when people have an insatiable appetite for food they are ostracised and when they have an insatiable appetite for money they are lionised?
