I’m a lawyer now! Could not be more grateful to @char_arneson and everyone else who believed in and supported me these past few years.

G/O Media's motion to dismiss the Armenta family's claim--the one where Deadspin's Carron Phillips accused a 9-year-old boy of wearing blackface and hating Native Americans--was just denied.

This show, and its aftermath, are simply astonishing. I would LOVE to read this complaint.

The first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. Mission complete🫡

Journalism—and the country as a whole—is better today now that Carron Phillips no longer has a platform to target innocent kids with his agenda-driven writing.  We are also grateful to G/O Media for infusing the company with cash that can be used to pay the judgment the Armenta family is going to win against it.

@Michael_E_Gold @char_arneson Thanks so much Michael — it’s been too long, hope you’re well!

@JRKaiman @char_arneson Congratulations Jon!

I'm honored to represent the Armenta family in their fight to bring justice to Deadspin. Thank you to @LelandVittert and @NewsNation for allowing the Armenta family to share their story. newsnationnow.com/on-balance-wit…

@PamelaParesky Really interesting question. Idk the answer but you'll appreciate this, probably my favorite piece of legal scholarship: scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewconten…

Traditional legal theory holds that it is better for ten guilty people to go free than for one innocent person to be wrongly convicted. Has anyone done research on what % of Americans agree with that statement? I’m curious about whether fewer people agree now than in the past.

This is the most important op-ed I’ve written about my time at Rikers at age 16. “Richard Riker, part of the infamous kidnapping club, was known to round up free Black people & send them to the slave-holding South.” Pls read, retweet + share ur opinion. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…
