Tired: #Mastodon posts dunking on screenshots of Elon Tweets. Dunk on him in a #Twitter QT. Don’t dunk here at all.

When I was at the NY Daily News in 2015, I wrote a story with Reuven Blau bout a woman who got sexually assaulted at #Rikers - and saved a semen-stained shirt as proof.

Two guards were implicated: One was arrested and took a guilty plea in 2017.

Now - SEVEN YEARS AFTER THE FACT - the other has FINALLY been fired.

Here's the story:
