Maybe because of the nature of the economic bubble they've created around it, and/or their own ideological biases towards its"inevitability," they appear to instead believe that if they just push as fast as possible, harms be damned, we'll all just be stuck with it, whatever happens.

We absolutely should be horrified by reports of planned public executions and see them as an overt re-embrace of spectacle lynchings--while also understanding that the story of the "modern" death penalty in this country is inextricable from that history, rooted in racial violence & white supremacy.

At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, the historical link between lynching and the death penalty is hard to miss.

This is petty and least important aspect of this but: I reported on this years ago and the trump campaign falsely denied the reporting, and now via Hegseth they’re just doing it. Monstrous

I remember my father telling me how anti trust laws worked as a kid. Something like "Well son, we have laws where one electric company can't just buy all the OTHER electric companies. Then they could just charge whatever they want because there'd be no competition." We were a very optimistic people.

The state failed to kill her, critically injured her, and still cannot bring itself to unshackle her. At what point does the barbarism of the retributive punishment outweigh the barbarism of the initial crime? Sorry, rhetorical question. Abolish the death penalty.

New data shows ectopic pregnancy deaths are rising, with higher rates in states with strict abortion bans. Here in Alabama, ectopic pregnancy care is legally allowed but what does reproductive healthcare look like when getting care in time can be the difference between life and death?

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

I've been hearing that Cornell's culture of fraternity fueled rape is especially bad since I moved to the US in 2017. Last year, the figure was over 1 in 3 female students who had been raped. The victims are often punished more harshly than the perpetrators are. I hope every chapter of Chi Phi burns
