After justices warned of prolonged suffocation, Alabama subjected Anthony Boyd to the longest nitrogen execution in U.S. history. Boyd was the chairman of Project Hope, a death row-led nonprofit. Its members are left reeling in the wake of their leader's suffocation execution.

Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: www.treadbylee.com/p/after-just...

So sorry. This is a hate crime.

Supreme Court lifts limits on immigration raids in the Los Angeles area The raids sparked major protests in Southern California. President Donald Trump deployed troops from the California National Guard and Marines in response.

Everyone is shocked SCOTUS greenlit racial profiling yesterday. But that's been the state of the law for 50 years, since Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S. 873 (1975). There are plenty of reasons that case is wrongly decided but we shouldn't be so surprised. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

We need to talk about this. The regime's un-uniformed secret police are snatching people off the streets of U.S. cities, detaining, disappearing and deporting them based on the color of their skin, their tattoos (sometimes mistakenly); even sending some to foreign gulags. www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/p...

How Elon Musk's $44.9B Tesla pay package compares to other top U.S. CEO plans Even though the median U.S. CEO pay package last year was nearly 200 times more than a worker in the middle of their company pay scales, Elon Musk’s record-setting Tesla compensation dwarfs them by co...

December 11, 2024 President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Biden: We are former federal judges who are deeply committed to the rule of law. While we may have different views on various issues related to the death penalty, we are united in our view that it is appropriate and important for you to commute all federal death sentences to life in prison without parole. Based on our experience and understanding, the administration of the federal death penalty has been rife with fundamental problems, including race discrimination in trial and sentencing, intellectual disability of defendants, and appallingly poor legal representation. Accordingly, federal executions should not proceed. We urge you to use your constitutional commutation power. We greatly appreciate your attention to this issue.

NEW: Twenty-one former federal judges, including multiple former appeals court judges, urge President Biden to clear the federal death row. They include David Tatel (D.C. Cir.) and Diane Wood (7th Cir.), both of whom left the bench earlier this year. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

They keep mentioning that some people "regret" getting the treatment. This is also true for every single medical treatment. E.g. my mom was mad at herself for going to the hospital when she had a minor heart attack because it was "no big deal" and the hospital stay delayed her beach vacation a day.

It’s so uncharacteristically woke that the Republicans are going to have an AG with lived experience being investigated by federal law enforcement. Up until now, only the far left has really talked about putting justice-involved folks in positions of power in law enforcement.
