Surreal day in Oklahoma City. Mere months after AG Gentner Drummond won big at SCOTUS—persuading the justices to vacate Richard Glossip’s conviction due to the lies of the state’s star witness—the AG now seeks a 3rd murder trial (despite having no new evidence). w/ @jordansmith.bsky.social

"In the years before Roe fell, near-total bans on abortion had become commonplace...Since the fall of Roe, several states have sought to codify its protections, as Biden said he would do given the chance...But that just reimagines the same inadequate framework."

Roe Was Never Enough to Ensure Reproductive Freedom
Biden vowed to codify Roe. But the ruling was never about whether the government had a right to your body, only when it had a right to your body.

If you're in MO (like me), now is an excellent time to write appropriate electeds re: how compounding a problem like executing people for crimes they can prove they didn't commit is a) fucked up, and b) surely destabilizes/destroys the credibility of the criminal justice system.

I would humbly argue that the Missouri AG arguing that an innocent person should be kept on death row because to reopen his case would destabilize the system is proof that the system most motherfucking definitely needs to be destabilized.

The OK DA’s lobby is the engine behind the state’s push to kill Richard Glossip. Since the evidence against him has fallen apart, they've taken to insisting that the AG is an abolitionist squish. He’s not, but if that’s all you have, that’s what you use, I guess theintercept.com/2024/01/25/r...
