Public executions were not abolished out of tenderness towards the criminal. They were abolished because of the effect on the people watching, and the dangers of making human death a source of commercial entertainment. Here's Charles Dickens in The Times, after witnessing an execution in 1849.
"I have seen, habitually, some of the worst sources of general contamination and corruption in this country, and I think there are not many phases of London life that could surprise me. I am solemnly convinced that nothing that ingenuity could devise to be done in this city, in the same compass of time, could work such ruin as one public execution, and I stand astounded and appalled by the wickedness it exhibits. I do not believe that any community can prosper where such a scene of horror and demoralization as was enacted this morning outside Horsemonger Lane Gaol is presented at the very doors of good citizens, and is passed by, unknown or forgotten. And when in our prayers and thanksgivings for the season we are humbly expressing before God our desire to remove the moral evils of the land, I would ask your readers to consider whether it is not a time to think of this one, and to root it out.

I am, Sir, your faithful Servant.
Charles Dickens".

Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST. Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.

I agree - but I also think he didn’t mean what people are saying - he meant Iran *could* do this, so it was a small price to pay to avoid it. Trump says so many unambiguously evil things, we shouldn’t fixate on word salads. It just allows Marg to say Dems are purposely mischaracterizing.

Black text on white page that states:

When New Yorkers get ripped off, they should have the power to fight back.

We’re introducing the POWER Act to give workers, tenants, consumers, small businesses and nonprofits a legal pathway to take on unfair and deceptive business practices.

A tenant shouldn’t have to watch a landlord wrongfully withhold their security deposit. A consumer shouldn’t have to accept predatory loan terms. And New Yorkers shouldn’t have to rely on government alone to hold powerful corporations accountable.

We’re putting power back where it belongs: in the hands of New Yorkers.
