On #WrongfulConvictionDay, protect the innocent in NC by calling Gov. Stein's Office to ask that he veto HB307. The bill creates an arbitrary timeline for post-conviction litigation in capital cases that would make it virtually impossible to exonerate innocent people on death row.

Here are the comments that ABC used as justification for canceling Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

Hear, hear.

Appreciate the opportunity to join @wunc.org to discuss Mr. Cole's case and the evidence of his innocence that led to his freedom. Public radio is a vital source of information, and we must ensure it survives the funding cuts and attacks by the current administration.

Benjamin Cole always said he was in Ohio at the time of the murder in North Carolina that lead to his conviction. 27 years later, a review of the police department's case file revealed undisclosed records supporting Cole's alibi that he was in Ohio: law.duke.edu/news/wrongfu...

People were out this morning in Durham, NC. #NoKings #SaveDemocracy #RiggsWon #HandsOff

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key.

That right?

New in PN: North Carolina Republicans restart the steal

"The entire state supreme court affair is a microcosm of the last several years, a one-stop-shop highlighting all the ways in which Republicans have used the nonexistent problem of election fraud to destroy trust and make it harder to vote."

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

Republicans in North Carolina are trying to steal an election, and their efforts are much closer to succeeding now that the Republicans on the NC Supreme Court will potentially decide the winner.

My @dukelaw.bsky.social colleague Brandon Garrett on why Roy Cooper's recent commutations should signal the death penalty's end in North Carolina.

I am very grateful to Governor Cooper for these 15 commutations to life sentences for death row prisoners.
Thanks to the NC Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty for your amazing advocacy.
Let’s continue to work towards abolishing the death penalty.

While this action is not the broad repudiation of the death penalty that North Carolina needs, I am grateful to Gov. Cooper for his careful review and commutations in these 15 cases. #CommuteTheRow

NC district attorney: Biden’s commutations should guide us to end death penalty #ncpol

After Biden's commutations this morning, it's time for action in North Carolina.

For anyone interested in learning about the campaign to end the death penalty in North Carolina, the North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty is a good place to start: nccadp.org/commutations/.

A historic act by President Biden. He has set a precedent that @ncgov.bsky.social Roy Cooper should follow by commuting NC's death row. Gov. Cooper can build on his own legacy as someone who stands for racial justice, humanity, and morality.

www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/p...

President Biden says he's commuting the prison sentences for nearly 1,500 people and pardoning 39 others.

The White House calls it the largest act of clemency in a single day in modern presidential history.

"So as we near the end of the year, I hope outgoing governors will consider greater use of pardons for deserving constituents as they ponder the legacy they want to leave."
