Another issue: Sometimes the original story from the journalists who did the actual work is paywalled, but the trashy clickbait synopsis from Raw Story is free.
Raw Story usually credits and links to the article that it's rewriting, so it's at least worth a look before posting.
I've been on Mastodon for over a year now but haven't been able to convince many people I know in person to ditch their various billionaire-owned, data stealing platforms for this one. So to have recently gotten a follow from a real-life friend made my day! Please consider giving @nojarama a follow! I can personally vouch for his awesomeness! 💜 #FollowFriday
They Tried to Expose #Louisiana Judges Who Had Systematically Ignored #Prisoners' Petitions.
No One Listened.
==
The all-white judges of Louisiana’s 5th Circuit Court of Appeal systematically ignored thousands of claims from prisoners, most of them Black, who said they had been wrongly convicted.
Efforts to expose the injustice went unheard.
It's like the NHL is trying to fight some sort of war out of the 19th Century. It's 2023 Gary (and Owners)! Preventing your star players from showing simple support for social causes is a BAD IDEA. 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️

@Juicyfranck They’re not curious & aren’t looking for answers because they don’t want to know
I agree w/everything you said💯& will add this. Omicron specifically is going for our brains
When I first saw the zombie bug beetle that was going around awhile back, that was a premonition
Dementia, Alzheimers, Parkinson’s etc is coming for every single person who is repeatedly exposing themselves to this virus non-stop & it won’t be decades like they think they have
We have relentlessly warned them
Officially done with the NHL for banning an Indigenous-made mask designed for Native American Heritage Night.
Those of you interested in SHL & Finnish Liiga:

I do not support old white erasure, genocide, and further oppressive measures.
Fuck Bettman, Fuck the Wild owner, fuck Provorov, fuck James Reimer.
NHL = Nazi Hockey League.
Fuck the NHL. Wont ever post about it again.

Just sayin...
Ugh, the NHL is at it again.
The ban of one-off custom gear for awareness/advocacy games apparently extends to Marc-André Fleury's mask for Native American Heritage Night. Which he had hand-painted by a Prairie Island artist in honor of his wife. MAF said straight-up he'd pay the fine himself. So the league went after the Wild. And now he's sitting out tonight.
Fleury is the only one here who isn't being a coward.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
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.
