"Jean was quick to note that the main force on the ground was the Georgia State Patrol (GSP), the same agency which is behind the murder of Tortuguita, is locally referred to as “cowboys,” and is known for being largely white. Last year, Georgia “agreed to pay a $4.8 million legal settlement to the family of a Black man who was fatally shot by a state trooper trying to pull him over for a broken tail light.”'

I've just posted @strantzas latest "On Horror" column. Another great opinion piece. Let us know what you think. You can read it here:
As #consultants join the #JuniorDoctors in seeing nothing on the table from the Govt. that meets their demands & vote for #strikeaction, the idea of a #generalstrike (at least by osmosis) in the #NHS seems to look more & more likely...
as always; if you're asking me who to I support/believe in this dispute?
Medical professionals working (to the most part) in a vocation & working to extend peoples' lives...
or, a bunch of mendacious corrupt entitled wreckers, my vote goes with the former!

Over the past 11 months, someone created thousands of fake, automated #Twitter accounts — perhaps hundreds of thousands of them — to offer a stream of praise for Donald Trump, according to AP. https://wtop.com/elections/2023/03/digital-foot-soldiers-pro-trump-bots-swarm-desantis-haley/

As the UK collapses in the consequential rubble of BREXIT lies...
As our NHS is destroyed by Tory underfunding, undermining and privatisation...
As years of Tory austerity rips thru the UK leaving millions hungry, cold & in poverty...
As corruption, cronyism and rampant profiteering go unchecked...
All Tories can do is attack the weak and most vulnerable...
"Small boats", asylum seekers and refugees are NOT the cause of the UK's problems.
NEVER TRUST A TORY

I sense another influx of new users coming to the #fediverse soon. So I really think we should do our part to manage expectations.
If you are coming to #Mastodon for the #Twitter experience, I really have to caution you - a lot of us #mastoadmin don't know how to replicate the level of brokenness you're accustomed to.
If you want, every once in a while we can just turn the server off or something. If more people sign up for the Patreon I might be able to hire a part time troll for shift work.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
