An NPR analysis shows that Black farmers receive a disproportionately low share of USDA direct loans given to farmers, leaving them behind in a program that is important to their livelihoods.

Renewing my call for help in the Nick Newbold case. He was convicted based on a flawed "Shaken Baby Syndrome" diagnosis & bad lawyering. Despite his conviction being thrown out, he is being retried. Please contribute to his legal defense fund if you can: https://t.co/S5QnK9mGZ4

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

On this day in 1907, depicting Black men as violent and subhuman, a former U.S. Senator argued for the death penalty as punishment for interracial relationships. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/f9qa2ast1a

December 26 is the anniversary of the largest mass execution in US history, that of 38 Dakota hung at Mankato, Minnesota, for their resistance to treaty promises not kept by the U.S. government to compensate the Dakota.

Black families are suing TX schools for not dealing w/racism. Black children are being called monkey; the N-word. Some kids are using phones for whip sounds. While Republicans are concerned about white “discomfort” no one cares about what Black kids are going through. #FreshWords

"When a suspect in an interrogation told detectives to “just give me a lawyer dog,” the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that the suspect was, in fact, asking for a “lawyer dog,” and not invoking his constitutional right to counsel."

Wow!

The SCOTUS says that the death penalty is supposed to be reserved for the “worst of the worst.” 11 of the 12 jurors at Kenny Smith’s trial believed he was NOT the worst of the worst and voted for life. They were overridden by the judge. SCOTUS is allowing the execution to happen.

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

The U.S. Supreme Court is now functionally a rubber stamp for executions. Stays and injunctions issued by lower courts are routinely lifted without full briefing and without explanation from the justices, no matter how egregious the underlying legal issues.

[Natl. Registry of Exonerations @exonerationlist]

In 1986, Joseph Pope was sentenced to life in prison for murder and armed robbery, even though there was no evidence that he shot the victim or was even on the same floor at the time of the shooting. He spent nearly four decades in prison for a crime he did not commit. (1/3)

[Nadia Bulkin @nadiabulkin]

I appreciate @genwhypod doing an episode on the Barry Jones case. Because it's a true crime podcast and not a political podcast, I hope the concerns they raise about this Supreme Court's decision reaches more people. https://t.co/ZrUNThllJg
