<p>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 <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a>, 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.

<p>Happy <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a>! If you’re absolutely averse to seeing coverage of the U.S. election and Donald Trump, you might want to look away now — or scroll quickly. If you can bear to linger, you’ll find important stories about Elon Musk’s political funding, why the media aren’t talking about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the push to get out the Native vote, and what happened after Hurricane Maria. Interspersed, there's an investigation into the state of criminal prosecution in Anchorage, two inspiring stories on assistive technology, a look at whether Alan Shepard hit three golf balls on the moon, and some gorgeous photos, including bracken that looks like Jabba the Hutt.

<p>Happy <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a>! We really really wanted to keep it light, breezy and election-free this week. But if democracy dies in darkness, we must celebrate those newsrooms and reporters that are committed to shedding light. </p><p>This week, we are featuring news on how the plastics industry would welcome a second Trump administration, but teachers would loathe one. Texas Observer has a deeply reported story on the way mass deportations would devastate their state. New Hampshire’s election workers are under threat, but they’re standing up. An overlooked item on the Arizona ballot? Policy on how the state would treat unhoused people. A tech story on everyone’s favorite online retailer and how it says it has a First Amendment right to union bust. There’s a look at why people continue to support Donald Trump, despite the… everything. And sprinkled in, find articles on how kids become bilingual, the rise of Scientology in Ukraine, specimen collections in museums, clever cats, and zombie movies.
