Every time we come to compile this #NewstodonFriday thread, we’re amazed at what indie newsrooms are able to accomplish — but particularly this week, when we were gobsmacked by two pieces of painstaking reporting, both relating to Texas: @ProPublica wrote about how the state’s abortion ban has made pregnancy more dangerous, and @TexasObserver identified an ICE prosecutor as the operator of a racist social media account. Please click on, read and boost all the stories in this thread, donate to publishers, and support independent media.

An X account, operated by ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, and first created in 2012, has posted hateful, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content. The Observer linked Rodden to the account through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation. https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-dallas-white-supremacist-x-account/

If we want to protect our ability to tell our stories, both for #entertainment and #news, we must normalize and invest in decentralized social media: https://www.404media.co/decentralized-social-media-is-the-only-alternative-to-the-tech-oligarchy/

It’s Valentine’s Day, and we love the fediverse — especially all the indie newsrooms that we feature in our #NewstodonFriday thread. If there are any you’d like to put on our radar, please tell us in the comments — and don’t forget to read and boost the stories in this thread, donate to publishers, and support independent media.

Earth has a shapeshifting hot inner core made of iron and nickel that will one day transform into a solid ball of metal and whoops, there goes our magnetosphere (but don't worry, that's billions of years in the future and the sun will expand into a red giant and swallow us first, probably).

A new study is the first to document shape changes in Earth's inner core, over the past 20 years. My latest for CNN!

Hello everyone, I have been using Reddit for many years, I heard about this platform, but I really haven't try it before. For the past month, I have nuked my Reddit account with no access to any platform except X. I'm here because some people on X recommended that I try it and they're also using it. My interests are in #sustainability and #camping #geology #outdoor #adventures #yoga #cooking #selfcare #pets , #hiking #mountain #climbing and #books #introduction #news #mastodon

On Monday, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, and the news will come at us thick and fast. So for today’s #NewstodonFriday, we’re trying our level best to avoid stories that are directly about Trump. That doesn’t mean it’s all unicorns and rainbows — we’re still in this timeline, after all — but there’s some lighter fare in there to bring a smile before the weekend. The stories here come from newsrooms that have an active presence in the fediverse, plus a couple of our own desks. We encourage you to support independent media by following the accounts here, boosting their stories, and donating money and subscribing if you can. Buckle up, folks!
