There is nothing “pro-life” about the death penalty.

[Keri Blakinger @keribla]

TIL: An archivist visited a Texas prison in 1995 and determined that the un-airconditioned solitary confinement room was "totally inadequate" - FOR OLD RECORDS.

25 years later we still have people living in those conditions deemed inadequate for paper.

A 12th Texas prison employee has died of COVID-19.

Agency still has not posted any information about prisoner deaths since two on June 29th.

Rep. John Lewis was a hero to every person involved in the justice movement. I remember when he spoke out against the wrongful execution of Troy Davis and testified at the Georgia clemency hearing. His legacy will live on through all the lives he changed and people he inspired.

Just for some context, in 2016, “suffocation” was the second most prevalent method of suicide among black males, behind firearms. And since I don’t think dudes aren’t sticking a pillow over their own faces, willing to say hanging is the likely method.

@greycole05 @BallerJ702 @latimes agree they're unlikely choose an ironic exit, but you failed to account for predominant suffocation techniques: asphyxia via ether Inhalation or "the exit bag"

TX is better than the #DeathPenalty. We failed to prove that today.

Tonight I’ll pray for the victims of violent crime, the victims of the death penalty, and the families that are left behind.

Our work to abolish the death penalty continues. #txlege #BillyWardlow #CJReform

@keribla From the letter he wrote requesting an execution delay:

“I came to death row a scared boy who made poor choices; I will leave death row a man that others admire because I weathered the storms of life with the help of people that loved me. We should all be so fortunate.” 💔

[Keri Blakinger @keribla]

He gave no last statement.

It took 34 minutes for him to die.

[Keri Blakinger @keribla]

Billy Wardlow has been executed.

He was pronounced dead at 6:52 p.m.

[Kids Against The Death Penalty @KADP_TX]

Killing is not acceptable. In any form. #AbbottFailedTexas

[Poncho Nevárez @poncho_nevarez]

Murder is an irrational act. Whatever you want call this is even worse because we thought long and hard about and still did it.

[Krissy Roth @Krissy_Roth]

While Texas is experiencing record COVID related deaths @GovAbbott could not be bothered to stay the execution of #BillyWardlow wholly within his power. The state of TX has just taken Billy Wardlow’s life, for a crime he committed at 18.

This must stop #EndtheDeathPenalty

[TCADP @TCADPdotORG]

Texas executed #BillyWardlow in the midst of a pandemic, on a day when TX saw a record-high number of deaths from COVID-19. The cognitive dissonance is too much. What a shameful day.

[The Next To Die @thenexttodie]

Billy Joe Wardlow was the 1,519th person executed in the U.S. since 1976. https://t.co/qxNDmuD2rX

Texas is a disgrace. #BillyWardlow

[Keri Blakinger @keribla]

As the state is about to execute Billy Wardlow, I keep re-reading his last letter to me.

"Thank you... for showing me that I have worth, too - no matter what others might say or think," he wrote. "You gave me back my humanity."

He'll never actually get to read the story.
