@vsnmaryland This is the same judge who issued the injunction it looks like?
Alston issued an 18-page opinion Tuesday evening to lift the injunction. He said the allegations that the removal efforts amounted to grave desecration “were, at best, ill-informed and, at worst, inaccurate.”
Aight, good to know he's changed his mind.
Some of the figures also on the statue include a Black woman depicted as “Mammy” holding what is said to be the child of a white officer, and an enslaved man following his owner to war. ... He noted that the statue depicts, among other things, a “slave running after his ‘massa’ as he walks down the road. What is reconciling about that?” asked Alston, an African American who was appointed to the bench in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.
If I were this judge I'd be kicking myself for issuing the injunction in the first place. What craven ghoul would defend this rock?
@tess@mrcompletely I'm here for those reasons, but also for niche communities, too.
I’m done with shitposting endless scrolling dopamine loopsinto my brain with each swipe.
Not being combative though, what I love about Mastodon is that there's a place for everyone to get what they want out of it, vs. what's forced down our throats.
Don't like it here, try over there. Not into Y, well there are folks into Z. If unsure, follow hashtags and searches to find content in your feed.
My New Year’s resolution is an almost complete shift to Masto, and ideally also getting my videos up on Peertube, though I will need to figure out how to better tie it in with my Patreon
