X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based.

Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Supreme Court temporarily reinstates Texas Republicans' redrawn congressional map The move will, for now, allow Texas to use the new district lines that a federal court blocked earlier this week as the Supreme Court reviews the case.

Memphis part 2! Today at noon I’ll be spilling the tea on lethal injection in TN and the US more broadly. Plus, how might studying executions for 7 years inform what a community of faith has to say about the death penalty? I’d love to see you at the First Congregational Church lunch & learn! ❤️🙏😉

Next stop is Memphis! This afternoon I’ll be at the beautiful @rhodescollege.bsky.social talking about the death penalty in this country and the truth about lethal injection. Thank you @tndeathpenalty.bsky.social, @justcity901.bsky.social, and @rhodescollege.bsky.social for making this happen!

Hello Nashville! 🎶 Tonight I will be talking about my faith walk behind SKS, and spilling secrets about lethal injection in TN (and around the country!) If you’re in town, this event is at 7pm at Christ the King Catholic Church.

@acluok.bsky.social

The victim’s family has spoken against this execution. If the state of OK executes him tomorrow despite all these things, it will be yet another reason to end the death penalty in OK once and for all.

The OK pardon & parole board has recommended clemency for Tremane Wood, who was sentenced to death for a murder that someone else admitted that they committed, and whose lawyer spent all of 2 hours working up the case.

and even a brewery talk! Thank you so much to OTSE for organizing a host of events, and to all who supported and attended them. This week: Tennessee! 🧡🧡

The week also included sharing my personal testimony at First Unitarian Church in Toledo, a webinar,…

and another bookstore event at Prologue Bookshop with Ohioans to Stop Executions exec director Kevin Werner.

…and @ohiostatelaw.bsky.social (wow those students!)

Then I had very special talks at NKU Salmon P. Chase College of Law …

I began the week talking with the amazing Prof. Valena Betty and the fantastic students at @iumaurerlaw.bsky.social (above), then driving to KY for a great evening in Lexington at Joseph-Beth Booksellers with @kcadp.bsky.social exec director Russell Allen. What an amazing bookstore!

It’s Recap Monday, and I am so excited to showcase the fantastic events from last week in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio!
