@TaylorWirtzWINK How very scary!

@joelle_simeu Congratulations, Joelle! Happy for you but not surprised.

Another case in the category of 'no one would care before the internet' is now: An upcoming Supreme Court case is an all-the-marbles moment for students’ First Amendment rights. https://t.co/H03YdqgZ1H via @slate

When the N-Word Is Not Protected Speech: Connecticut Supreme Court Weighs In https://t.co/4BT7lDewfr via @CTLawTribune Very intriguing ruling. I wonder if the SCOTUS would weigh in as well.

Congrats too Anderson. It is heartening to see students stand up for what is right. It would be more interesting to find out what happened to the student who initially used the slur.

[Dayo Ladigbolu Abah @Dayoabah]

A complicated case. I hope she makes good use of her second chance. Very few people get one.

Cyntoia Brown-Long was just 16 years old when she was sentenced to life in prison for murder, but the case was far from clear-cut.

After 15 years behind bars, Cyntoia is now free after being granted clemency following a celeb-led campaign to reconsider her sentence.

It’s amazing how the VIdeo Assisted Referees (VAR) only rule in favor of European teams but never rule in favor of African teams. Did the same in NGR/GER game. No surprises after all #UEFA runs #FIFA #ENGCMR #FIFAWWC

@bbartelheimer1 @JohnLegere T-Mobile has an awesome customer service. After over a decade of being mistreated by Sprint, we switched to T-mobile despite it not having a strong tower in our area because of its incredible customer service. Five years later we are still excited about our switch to T-Mobile.

Revenge Porn should not be protected by free speech, it should be curtailable by principles of public disclosure of private facts as well as copyright doctrines. Should be interesting to see how the Illinois Supreme Court rules on this one.

[First Amendment Watch @FirstAmendWatch]

Is revenge porn protected by the First Amendment? And will one of these cases make it to the Supreme Court? https://t.co/KxiHKG0s4p #FreeSpeech

@markcoddington Fascinating stuff. This is the reason they have Advance Levels in England. It is a break beteeen high school and college. It doesn’t cover for the feeling of lack and inadequacy but it prepares you for what to expect in college.

Justice Thomas would like the Court to consider changing U.S. Libel law back to common law libel. This would definitely be a gift to public officials like Thomas and Trump and devastating to media #Libel #SCOTUS

So right, @jayrosen_nyu Politics is changing, politicians are changing tactics, and the news system is obstinate about its methods. Which means the news media will always be a step behind or inadvertently become a propaganda machine for the president.

[Jay Rosen @jayrosen_nyu]

The news system is not designed for this. It's built to start with what the president said and then seek detail, get reaction, check facts. What it should do instead is go to the president last, as the least reliable component in a policy-making machinery. https://t.co/qCC4BUHYjb
