Court Upholds Mississippi’s Jim Crow-Era Lifetime Voting Ban β€œImagine if just half of those folks could vote,” says a Mississippi advocate who hoped to defeat his state’s practice of permanent felony disenfranchisement.

As people vote, keep in mind: millions are barred from the ballot.

Mississippi still has a LIFETIME voting ban on people convicted of felonies like theft or perjury.

There was hope that'd end this year, but a federal court reinstated the ban: boltsmag.org/mississippi-...

we're all stressed and insane this week for very valid reasons, but please try to take your stress out in other ways than a-feudin' and a fightin' with people you basically agree with

"What is the opposite of fascism?
Joy.
Humor.
Connection.
Building together."

This is a really powerful episode, if you can listen.

Disability justice must be inclusive of all disabilities and identities.

If it’s not intersectional, it’s not true justice β€” we can’t leave anyone behind.

Texas is going to murder, by leathal injection, Robert Robertson - an innocent man - tonight. He was convicted 20 years ago on what is now considered Junk Science, and also because his affect was not considered normal - he's #ActuallyAutistic
The Texas state board was unanimous in denying a stay.
Please continue
to ask Abbott's office to grant a 30 day reprieve for Robert Robertson.

-A Texas state board on Wednesday declined to stop what could be the first execution in the U.S. in a case tied to the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, rejecting clemency pleas from a man whose claims of innocence have drawn wide support, including from Republican lawmakers and a detective who say the conviction was based on faulty science.
The parole board voted unanimously, 6-0, to not recommend that Robert Roberson's death sentence be commuted to life in prison or that his execution be delayed.
The uncertainty surrounding shaken baby syndrome has also led to reevaluations of many criminal cases. Since 1992, the convictions of at least 34 people in the U.S. have been vacated when allegations of shaken baby syndrome or abusive head trauma were a factor, according to the National Registry of Exonerations, which tracks sentences for wrongful convictions
The appeals court denied the inmate's latest appeal on Wednesday. That court last week ordered a new trial for a man sentenced to 35 years in prison for his conviction
