Alabama is scheduled to execute Jeffery Lee this Thursday, June 11, despite a 12-0 jury verdict for Life Without Parole. Because of a now-abolished Judicial Override rule that Alabama refuses to apply retroactively, a single judge overturned the jury's decision.
We are asking @GovernorKayIvey to grant clemency and honor the jury’s original verdict. Sign the petition now demanding #LifeForJefferyLee. actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

American politics is run by radicals.
Populist radicals, progressive radicals, socialist radicals, anti-semitic radicals, social justice radicals, gender radicals, cultural Marxist radicals.
We principled non-radicals have no home at the moment.
And another word for non-radical is conservative.

“ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes; it must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it.” - Pope Leo XIV

If there is even a possibility that #TonyCarruthers is innocent, failing to act is not simply a legal error. It is a moral one.

“With 18 exonerations from Texas death row, evidence of at least eight wrongful executions, millions of wasted taxpayer dollars, and countless grieving families torn apart, it is clear the death penalty is a failure both morally and systemically.” — @nantolson @WTIUSA

"Death penalty opposition on the right has grown because more and more conservatives are facing the truth: Texas will never be a pro-life haven, a tough-on-crime state, or a taxpayers’ paradise until we are willing to recognize that the death penalty no longer serves us."-- @nantolson, State Director of @texasccatdp

Maureen Galindo, a Democrat running for Congress in TX-35, says in an Instagram post that she would turn an ICE detention center near San Antonio “into a prison for American Zionists”, and will also use it as a castration processing center for pedophiles, “which will probably be most of the Zionists”.
Yes, it’s real, and yes the post is still up. She has a runoff election next week.
In other posts on her Instagram, Galindo claims that her runoff opponent, Johnny Garcia, was part of a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by “billionaire Zionist Jews.”

We are being led astray by the class idiots who let you do all the work on the group project and only showed up to the presentation, and it’s time we all fought back just a little.
You weren’t lied to. You’re just dumb and lack any intellectual curiosity.

We have literally been lied to about everything
Matt Walsh “The Rosa Parks story you were taught in school was fake too. This was not just some woman on her way home from work. Civil rights leaders thought Parks would make a sympathetic face for their lawsuit and then told her, a longtime NAACP volunteer, to create a situation where she'd be arrested.
This gets sold to the public as totally organic when actually it's playacting to create ideal conditions for a court case or scandal.
The iconic photo of Parks on the bus was staged months after the incident as part of a press campaign. (The photo is shown in the clip)
The white man, sitting behind her in the bus photo was a journalist, which you probably didn't know.”
Let’s fact check this. It’s 100% true
What Actually Happened on December 1, 1955
Rosa Parks was a longtime NAACP volunteer and secretary of the Montgomery chapter. She had been deeply involved in civil rights activism for years (including work on cases like the Recy Taylor rape and voter registration efforts).
She was not just a random tired seamstress on her way home from work who spontaneously refused to move. Local civil rights leaders had been looking for a strong test case to challenge bus segregation.
They even had people cast for the role before Rosa Parks. Earlier attempts include 15 year old Claudette Colvin were passed over because leaders felt Rosa Parks, a mature, respected, married woman with a spotless reputation, would be a more sympathetic plaintiff in court and to the public
The Iconic Photo was 100% staged
The famous photo was taken on December 21, 1956, this is over a year after her arrest and on the first day the buses were integrated after the Supreme Court ruling
It was deliberately staged by journalists, Look Magazine and UPI, for a press campaign to dramatize the victory
The white man sitting behind her is Nicholas Chriss, a UPI reporter, not a random angry passenger or segregationist

Something I think about re the death penalty is that prison staff who have been involved in executions report PTSD, depression, guilt, and shame. It's proof positive to me that we are not meant to do this to each other. It literally chips away at us to do it.

The question is not whether he deserves execution (he does), but whether we should execute him (we shouldn't).
In the USA, executing people does not reduce crime, protect people (at least if incarcerated in more protective prisons), or save money compared to long term imprisonment.
Executing people hardens us as a society to others. All systems of capital punishment there are systems to protect the executioner from the deed, showing the recognition of how such acts are bad for them as human beings, even when they agree in principle it's moral.
In the US, the evidence & ethics are against having any executions.
May 5
I am challenging any death penalty opponent — there are millions of them, allegedly — to step up to the plate right now and explain why this guy should not be executed. His guilt is established beyond any doubt whatsoever. His crime is utterly savage and heinous. Tell us why he doesn’t deserve to die. Go ahead.
