What an amazing + historic day for #AB392. Huge thanks to all the families that made their presence know in Sacramento and all around CA, that their loved ones would not be forgotten or have been taken in vain.

The California Act to Save Lives is law! #LetUsLive

They served nearly three decades in prison for murder. Today, a Philadelphia judge overturned their convictions. https://t.co/EhvuxxknwE @PhillyInquirer @jilliankramer @innocencepa @innocence @ExonerationProj @padp_org @Atlantic_Ctr #MarcBrittingham #RasheedSmith #JermalShuler

An Ohio court has vacated Charles Maxwell’s death sentence because of serious mental illness. Maxwell was sentenced to death in March 2007. He is the 10th person to have his death sentence overturned under Ohio’s SMI statute. @OhStopExecution @ohiojpc @uscedp @NAMICommunicate

A NJ court ruled shaken baby testimony inadmissible. Could it help Robert Roberson? https://t.co/qcwCEvPnfl

@RDunhamDP We should all be troubles that almost 70% of Jan - June 2025 scheduled executions have been carried out.

To show you’re watching, attend the next public hearing at 10:00 am on April 17, 2025. If you have any concerns about policing practices in Baltimore, make your voice heard and contact the court appointed independent monitor at [email protected]./9

This week, new U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) leaders reportedly instructed the Civil Rights division not to file new cases until further notice. Yesterday, I attended a federal court public hearing of an 8-year-old civil rights case, US v. Baltimore Police Department (BPD)/1

[Krissy Roth @Krissy_Roth]

There is still much work to do. And now that we are in an era of vigilance, Baltimore residents will need to remain on watch to make sure that each and every requirement in the consent decree is met./8

So grateful for @RepPressley’s tireless advocacy to #abolishthedeathpenalty. Commuting the sentences of the 40 men on federal death row now is the only irreversible action @POTUS can take to prevent the next administration from executing these men. #CommuteTheRow

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

State-sanctioned murder is not justice.

It is not a deterrent to crime.
It has not repaired societal ills.
It has not made our society any safer.

@POTUS must use his clemency power to commute the sentences of the 40 people on death row & re-sentence them to a prison term.

It is so important that 1,500 people were given a second chance yesterday, and I hope many others will before January 20th.

[Legal Defense Fund @NAACP_LDF]

President Biden's commutations are a remarkable effort to address injustice and promote rehabilitation, and yet we remain at a critical inflection point where thousands of people who would have shorter sentences under today’s laws are still confined.

Today I was arrested for the first time alongside my comrades with @genderlib4all. Bathroom bans are bullshit and Democrats need to grow a spine. Trans lives are on the line.

After a harrowing night and a heroic, historic fight by Texas legislators, the Texas Supreme Court has upheld a restraining order stopping tonight's execution of #RobertRoberson.
