In other forms, they are still getting away with it. Philando Castile is just one example. An execution instead of a lynching. Cop walked free.

Calling alleged rape “bad decisions” isn’t a defense of due process. It’s victim-blaming dressed up as an op-ed. If anyone thinks the Cornell 7 are experiencing an unfair rush to judgment, imagine if they were Black men. There would be another Trump-style Central Park Five ad. Or worse.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

To the extent the Democratic Party sees 2026 midterm success, news media will [for ratings] brand it—not as predictable incumbent party midterm losses—but as shocking plot twist; BREAKING dramatic “proof” America has rejected MAGA. Project 2025 predicts and accounts for off-year election successes.

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]

Palestinian freedom and Jewish safety are NOT opposing causes. And If your activism requires excusing hatred toward either group, you’ve lost the plot. “Same Love”? I think what I’ve expressed is reasonable, but I know many will still have issues with it.
