The Supreme Court's Republican appointees let Mississippi kill Charles Ray Crawford tonight, despite treatment at trial that was of the same type that SCOTUS later held in another case is unconstitutional.
All three Democratic appointees, in a lengthy dissent, would have kept him alive.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25-385 (25A378)
CHARLES RAY CRAWFORD v. MISSISSIPPI ON APPLICATION FOR STAY AND ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI
[October 15, 2025]
The application for stay of execution of sentence of death presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to the Court is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is de-nied.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from the denial of application for stay and denial of certiorari.
Charles Ray Crawford will be executed tonight for a crime that his own lawyers told the jury he committed, despite his express instructions not to do so. Had this case come to this Court on direct appeal, Crawford could have proved that his Sixth Amendment rights were violated under our decision in McCoy v. Louisiana, 584 U.S. 414
(2018), in which we held that lawyers may not override a defendant's explicit and unequivocal decision not to concede guilt at trial. He would also likely be entitled to a new trial, as a McCoy violation is a structural error that mandates reversal.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiepxn2c2sysmhnj65djmldlau3pusmhbc7t3kfv6phnqpt5itky6e@jpeg)

Shaun King backing up Tucker Carlson that Jews killed Jesus.
It is important to state this bluntly (I should actually write a piece about it): Antisemitism is close to getting mainstream. One thing preventing it on the right is Trump's support of Israel, but Carlson and others are pushing it.

Not that anyone seems to give a shit but HRT isn’t about one specific community. It can be lifesaving during peri/menopause. This is about controlling women with absolutely no regard for their health, well-being, and lives.
The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.
Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.
I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”
