This clip from the 1943 film "Don't Be a Sucker" sounds eerily familiar. I think this is what many people mean when they say "Make America Great Again" -- like in 1943... forward together, not one step back!
Our country went 17 years without a federal execution... until 2020. There have been more federal executions this year than in the past 57 years combined. And 2 more executions are set for next week. Check out this new video, and visit @DeathPenaltyAct to take action:
A juror in Julius's trial said the defense team seemed not to be interested or involved. They failed to put on a defense for Julius in a death penalty case. Isn't Julius's life worth so much more than that? #JusticeforJulius#IAmJulius#FreeJJ
#RBG: "I’ve always made the distinction that if I were in the legislature, there’d be no #DeathPenalty. If I had been on the court for Furman [v. Georgia, 1972, invalidating the death penalty], I wouldn’t have given us the death penalty back four years later." #StopExecutions

They've scheduled a hearing for March to set a new death date.
This looks bad. La. state police said Ronald Greene was killed in a crash after a high-speed chase. Then witnesses came forward to say cops beat him. Injuries and damage to the car don't support cops' story. And they won't release body camera footage. https://t.co/1Uj7c7w3Vu
