I don’t know if I’ve ever been called a theater kid in a more brutal way than Spotify’s “theatrical lute season” month in my wrapped this year.

Dropout’s Gastronauts is going to be their Emmy winner, I can feel it in my bones. It’s the perfect show.

Getting a poetry acceptance this morning was the spot of joy I needed. Excited for December. ✨

A different Supreme Court could have saved Marcellus Williams.

All 3 Democratic judges dissented.

All 6 majority Republicans approved his execution.

Presidents appoint them.

Please stop acting like this election doesn't matter.

Please stop acting like voting doesn't matter.

Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man.

Governor Parson had the responsibility to save this innocent life, and he didn’t. The NAACP was founded in 1909 in response to the barbaric lynching of Black people in America — we were founded exactly because of people like Governor Parson who perpetuate violence against innocent Black people.

We will hold Governor Parson accountable. When DNA evidence proves innocence, capital punishment is not justice—it is murder.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

A nation that allows an innocent man to be executed does not value justice.

A governor and a High Court that do nothing to stop such a travesty do not value life.

Sat with my spouse today, waiting for the state of Missouri to murder their cousin, knowing we’d done everything we could and it just didn’t matter. They still killed Marcellus Williams.

[L E F T, PhD ⚫️ @LeftSentThis]

Too often folks like Marcellus Williams
turn into a political talking point. But I want people to remember, he has a family. He has people who love him.

The person in this video is Marcellus Williams’s son.

In this short clip you are reminded that the death penalty doesn’t just destroy the person being legally lynched, it destroys an entire family. No one should ever be forced into a position of finding peace with the execution of their loved ones…especially when there’s no actual evidence that they committed the crime in which they’re being murdered for.

[bethany baptiste @StorySorcery]

Missouri is executing him because it's easier to kill him than shell out millions for wrongfully convicting him. this isn't about justice.

this is about money.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

The death penalty is flawed, racist, and unjust.

It has no place in America or anywhere else in the world.

Abolish it.

I keep seeing this video on my TL. This woman’s great grandfather was Mark Sykes who drafted the Sykes Picot agreement. A secret 1916 plan by the Brits and French, which divided the Middle East into boundaries that guaranteed perpetual conflict to benefit British oil extraction
