Everything about this case shows how easy it is to send someone to death row.

Anthony Boyd was sentenced to death entirely on dubious eyewitness testimony. His lawyer had a month to prepare for trial. Alabama plans to execute him next week.

My latest @boltsmag.org:

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

Beating up women is not serious, apparently. At least not when it comes to powerful men.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Reading about the history of diamond-mining in Africa, you see what a HUGE @ssh@le he was. Takes a lot of scholarships to wipe that stain away.

'Anthropomorphic'. Is he saying we aren't actually human????

The last I heard, Chuck Schumer has NOTHING to do with the rally.
And it's weird the Grand Old Pedophiles would be attacking him, since he is basically GOP-lite.

'their fellow pedophiles'? The Republicans in Congress ARE the pedophiles.

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Grateful to have outlets like @thetriibe.com on the ground and reporting the facts. ICE and federal agents are not deploying tear gas at "protesters" in Chicago. They are wantonly tear gassing entire neighborhoods and communities.

The TRiiBE @thetriibe.com · 23h

NEW — For the second time in less than a week, militarized federal agents deployed tear gas in a Chicago residential area.

Members of the media, Chicago police officers on the scene for crowd control, and the broader nearby community were also exposed to the tear gas.
