Tidjane Thiam, the lone Black CEO of a major bank, made Credit Suisse profitable again. But the Swiss rejected him as an outsider, and a sudden scandal took him down. Interviews suggest that race contributed to his startlingly swift departure. https://t.co/6wwSssFeWN

This is the scene at the Supreme Court tonight after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Thousands of people are gathered here, with hundreds sitting on the steps https://t.co/Cg9oNILOPx 📷: @evansemones #RBG #SCOTUS

I asked: When the time comes, what would you like to be remembered for?
"Someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has."

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Justice Ginsburg paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her. Thank you RBG.

[Marion Teniade Johnson @mariontjohnson]

That woman died with so much pressure on her shoulders, and she won’t even be mourned like a human. She’ll be mourned like a defense wall that crumbled.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

"How is it that the world keeps going, breathing in and out unchanged, while in my soul there is a permanent scattering?" @ChimamandaReal remembers her father, who died suddenly this summer, in the family’s ancestral home town, in Nigeria. https://t.co/xl3SnJPCtw

[Janet Mock @janetmock]

Still shaken by this riveting, well-reported and sourced feature. It’s a must read. Black queer people are NOT disposable. https://t.co/ebB0Y2nF1a

Some interesting pieces in @nytimes in the past week about how the entire economy built up around office work and business travel is at risk of collapsing. Here we go...

[NaomiOsaka大坂なおみ @naomiosaka]

I often wonder if what I’m doing is resonating and reaching as many people as I hope. That being said, I tried to hold it in on set but after watching these back I cried so much. The strength and the character both of these parents have is beyond me. Love you both, thank you ❤️

“When we start politicizing election administration or start politicizing the delivery of mail, we’re just doing a disservice to our voters,” Washington’s secretary of state said. “It just erodes voter confidence.” https://t.co/tCnQsDuATG

Everything you need to know about voting in New York State in November.

Naomi’s toss is all over the place. But doesnt matter because she was solid on everything else. Onto the next. #USOpen

[Zanele @ZaMhlaba]

Ōsaka is looking good! #USOpen

[Zanele @ZaMhlaba]

Am I the only one enjoying that there are no fans there? It’s been fun to watch it like this. #USOpen2020

[ProPublica @propublica]

“What you’re describing typically is done when someone is trying to do one of two things: when someone is trying to bribe an employee or launder the money or both," an expert said. https://t.co/GFG4RRsPkD

Fill out the census if you haven’t already.

This is important.

In 2019, the #Mexican government recorded 1,006 incidents of femicide, the crime of killing women or girls because of their gender — a 10 percent increase from 2018. At least 10 women are murdered every day. https://t.co/cqugEXriH6 #NiUnaMenos #NiUnaMas

I'm calling for the government of Zimbabwe to release all political prisoners, including Godfrey Kurauone, who represent the country's future. Justice demands it.
