Legal Defense Fund Executions in the past five years reflected the historic discrimination that is endemic in the U.S. death penalty: a White-victim preference (75% of executions) and defendants of color disproportionately executed in cases of interracial murder.

Everyone should know backstory of MN law signed by #TimWalz providing free lunches to kids. Huge credit goes to mother of Philando Castile, the MN cafeteria manager fatally shot by police during traffic stop. He would make sure all his kids had food & paid for it using his own $.

If you want to understand who incarceration helps and who it hurts, look at how many people in state prisons today grew up with an incarcerated parent. prisonpolicy.org/blog/2022/08/1…

Herman Lindsey, himself an exonerated death row survivor and Executive Director of Witness to Innocence, says of this case - "This is example of how the death penalty becomes not about truth or justice, but about a small group of people wielding their power."

After a harrowing night and a heroic, historic fight by Texas legislators, the Texas Supreme Court has upheld a restraining order stopping tonight's execution of #RobertRoberson.

Today I was arrested for the first time alongside my comrades with GENDER LIBERATION MOVEMENT. Bathroom bans are bullshit and Democrats need to grow a spine. Trans lives are on the line.

It is so important that 1,500 people were given a second chance yesterday, and I hope many others will before January 20th.

State-sanctioned murder is not justice. It is not a deterrent to crime. It has not repaired societal ills. It has not made our society any safer. President Donald J. Trump must use his clemency power to commute the sentences of the 40 people on death row & re-sentence them to a prison term.

So grateful for Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley’s tireless advocacy to #abolishthedeathpenalty. Commuting the sentences of the 40 men on federal death row now is the only irreversible action President Donald J. Trump can take to prevent the next administration from executing these men. #CommuteTheRow
