Holy fuck. SCOTUS overturned the circuit court ruling, sending Christa Pike to her death, and then the state of Tennessee botched the execution and she’s still alive. There are no fucking words.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution
SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

Day 636 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I love a chocolate treat every day, & I like GOOD chocolate, ethically raised.The price has REALLY gone up this year - it’s becoming a pricey treat and I’m having to ration myself more. Probably good for my body to eat a bit less - but sad.
