Can someone well versed in the US judicial system explain why Christa Pike got the death penalty? I’m not excusing the murder …. But people murder others in the US all the time and don’t get sentenced to death. She was only 18 and had a history of abuse. What am I missing?

The botched execution of Christa Pike supports what Rev. Jeff Hood, spiritual advisor to the condemned, told our colleagues at @revealnews.org last year: This country's use of capital punishment shows that we, as a society, "have moved in a more violent direction."

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

People are finding out just how evil Mike Johnson is capable of being. How dishonest he is. That he is actually a member of the criminal class. And that's a good thing. His synthetic, superficial, "holy man" social veneer is cracking to expose a vicious, ruthless, dishonest, sociopathic criminal.

White-background political meme. Across the top, the hashtag 


#TrumpsPriorities  

On the left, Donald Trump stands beside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy; beneath the image are the words "Genocide Victim." 

On the right, Donald Trump sits with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during an Oval Office meeting; beneath the image are the words

"Wanted by the ICC." 

The right-hand label refers to the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Netanyahu alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity.
