102 yrs ago, Constance Baker Motley, one of the greatest legal minds ever, was born. She helped shape @NAACP_LDF’s foundational work that we carry on today and is a hero to lawyers and non-lawyers alike for her uncompromising commitment to justice and exceptional brilliance. 1/5

By far and away, this is the only news story of importance.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

The Beeb is trying to appease the unappeasable. A cowed management is increasingly desperate to avoid being damned by newspapers commercially & ideologically dedicated to damning the BBC. It’s a fool’s errand & painful to watch.

The Negro Leagues produced some of the greatest talent in baseball history.

Tory privatisation steals cash from us three times: once when assets are given away; daily in obscene dividends to shareholders, and one final time when we have to bail out the companies that collapse.
