Prison officials may have cleared Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell to leave prison on work release assignments " a privilege experts say authorities virtually never grant convicted sex offenders. Maxwell currently serves a 20-year federal sentence for sex trafficking minors. Maxwell's Bureau of Prisons classification now lists her custody status as "OUT," indicating she can work outside the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas with minimal supervision.

resignation letter of a high CDC professional

"Having worked in local and national public health for years, I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people."

WOW

Read it, it's depressing

Thanks magat scum

Bill, sincerely, your perspective on the world is warped. You have serious issues with your morality.

People who treat other people well are to be admired

People who have suffered and treat other people well are to be admired

People who struggle through adversity and succeed are to be admired

Just because someone is a "celebrity" is no reason to discount their achievements

In fact, a celebrity who has all the reason in the world to be a selfish ----- and who isn't is a person to be admired.

The list of people I presented are people who have the means to be selfish -----s and choose to use their platforms for good.

These are people that back their words with actions.

John Cena has granted over 650 wishes to kids. He has flown all over the country to fulfill the wishes of desperately sick kids. OVER 650 TIMES as of July 2022

The man is a real man. He does something that takes an ungodly amount of emotional strength to do, because he knows how much it means to these dying children

I get it, you simply do not have the morality to understand, but what John Cena has done and does is, simply, good.

Keanu Reaves has endured significant personal tragedy throughout his life, including his father abandoning him, his best friend River Phoenix dying from a drug overdose, the stillbirth of his daughter with Jennifer Syme, and Syme's subsequent death in a car accident. He also supported his sister through a long battle with leukemia.

Despite all this he treats people, apparently everyone, with kindness and gentleness, he is generous with the people he works with and his fans.

These are good actions

That you don't see that says a lot about you.

Robin Williams
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always,"
Philanthropy
In 1986, Williams teamed up with Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal to establish Comic Relief USA. This annual HBO television benefit devoted to the homeless raised $80 million as of 2014.[132] Bob Zmuda, creator of Comic Relief, explains that Williams felt blessed because he came from a wealthy home, but wanted to do something to help those less fortunate.[133] Williams made benefit appearances to support literacy and women's rights, along with appearing at benefits for veterans. He was a regular on the USO circuit, where Williams traveled to 13 countries and performed to approximately 90,000 troops.[134] After his death, the USO thanked Williams "for all he did for the men and women of our armed forces".[135]

Williams and his second wife Marsha founded a philanthropic organization called the Windfall Foundation to raise money for many charities. In December 1999, he sang in French on the BBC-inspired music video of international celebrities doing a cover of The Rolling Stones single "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)" for the charity Children's Promise.[136]

In response to the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, Williams donated all proceeds of his Weapons of Self Destruction Christchurch performance to help rebuild the New Zealand city. Half the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross and half to the mayoral building fund.[137] Williams performed with the USO for U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.[138]

For several years, Williams supported St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.[139]
