I merge the Christa Pike saga, the stay, AND the culture of sexual violence that we have allowed to flourish. We already have a Punishment Department. But, where is the Prevention Department? #DeathPenalty #ChristaPike #Culture williamkissinger.substack.com/p/we-have-a-...

We Have a Punishment Department. Where Is the Prevention Department?
Christa Pike’s reprieve, Cornell’s reckoning, and the culture we keep excusing.

Death Penalty Action shares in the celebration of our dear friend, Terri Steinberg, who has been fighting for her son Justin to come home for 25 years. Just yesterday, he finally made it home. Justin was wrongfully convicted in a murder-for-hire plot in Virginia in 2001 and was sent to death row.

A plea deal finally ended his decades-long fight for freedom. We send our best wishes to the Steinberg family and look forward to finally meeting Justin in person after hearing about him for years. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

Tennessee plans to execute a woman tomorrow. She was 18 when she committed the crime. She's now 50. Like most on death row, she's also a victim. And like most on death row, she's a far different person now than she was then. No one humanizes the condemned better than @lilianasegura.bsky.social.

After 30 years on death row, Christa Pike faces execution for a grisly murder she committed at 18.

I am so excited. There is a little rescue dog in our building who is wary of everyone except his people. For months I have been saying hello to him and his people but not venturing to pet him. But today he came toward me on his own and sniffed me, and then he let me pet him. 1/2

Quote card from Kristine Guillaume's Inquest article "Under the Warden's Eye": "Communication, communing, and community pose a threat to the carceral apparatuses that seek to fracture relations and exercise control within and beyond prison walls."

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

This week Inquest partnered with Represent Justice to share three short films by formerly incarcerated filmmakers—streamable for free on our site—and wrapped up our 9/11 series with a reflection on Muslims and race. Get the full recap: mailchi.mp/inquest.o...
Quote from Julius Irving, whose film 'The Silent (R)evolution' is featured this week on Inquest: "It’s time for a drastic, far-reaching change. While we’re waiting for the system to catch up and catch on, us—me, you, the people—hold a tremendous duty to one another."

Good news: a federal judge just paused Wilber's deportation. The government shouldn’t be allowed to shoot you from an unmarked vehicle and then cover it up by deporting you. Keep speaking out, it's working.
