a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Everyone went to the Nova festival to dance, celebrate, and feel free. But there was one person who came also — and especially — to photograph the sunrise.

I was 15 when it happened .
I was so traumatized I had to drop out of 10th grade halfway through the year. I finished HS through the mail while I spent my days in intensive outpatient therapy.
I am 42 now & hardly a day goes by I don’t think about it.
So no, it’s not ok to rape 15yr olds. #MeToo
