We are devastated to share about the passing of our friend, George White, yesterday morning. George was one of Death Penalty Action's greatest cheerleaders and we are tremendously grateful that we were able to see him for, what turned out to be, his last public speech at this year's Fast & Vigil.
The following has been shared by The Journey: "A co-founder of Journey of Hope, George was a cherished member of this murder victim families-led death penalty abolitionist organization...
Elwood Jones survived 27 years on death row in Ohio for something he did not do. The State came within DAYS of executing him. Elwood was freed not because the "system worked", but in spite of it. Listen to Elwood's story, patched together by Gaby Caplan: youtu.be/xwZzbOT00yU
He Spent 27 Years on Death Row. He Was Innocent the Whole Time.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
A sweet little girl with autism brought her stuffed puppy to the dog show. One of the judges noticed her, came over, and asked if she’d like to show her dog too. What followed was pure magic. Original post
I'm curious: Do any other #writers ever use ellipsus.com as a tool or, rather, an environment to write in? I find that I like it, and it's extremely customizable...can import, export, write in #markdown, format in multiple means, highlights, text styles. etc. #writingcommunity #writing #Ellipsus

The greatest day will come. Just wait - and survive - until then. There will come a time when they will all say, “But, I didn’t support THAT.”
