This is an execution, without trial or sentence. What a disgrace.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

After living in Texas prisons for 23 years, I think I can tell you what it feels like to be cooked alive.
What It’s Like to Be Cooked Alive in a Texas Prison
Two-thirds of Texas prisons do not have adequate cooling. When temperatures top 100F, the risk of serious illness and even death rise too.

Jüngst wurde mir geraten, in meinen Vorlesungen doch Hoffnung & Perspektive zu vermitteln. Gerade künftige Absolventen würden ja mal gebraucht. Aber ich kann das nicht sagen. Nicht mehr. Meine ehrlichsten drei Minuten dazu gab's voriges Semester. Da nun lange Videos gehen, poste ich es hier nochmal.

It’s important to understand that this is the Trump administration’s plan.

They are not outliers, exceptions, or aberrations.

This is their plan.

The three-drug protocol first used by states was intended to make sure the person on the gurney died. But this three-drug plan wasn’t reviewed by anyone before Oklahoma adopted it, followed the next day by Texas.

In den USA werden Gesetze missachtet, Menschen werden ohne Prozess in Lager abgeschoben. In Russland wird offen im Fernsehen über die Eroberung Europas gesprochen. Redet darüber. Macht das allen klar. Es soll zumindest dann niemand sagen können, man habe von nichts gewusst.

This past week, 4 people were executed in the following states: Oklahoma, Arizona, Florida and Louisiana, making this one of the most fatal weeks of the year for people on death row.

No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unjust, and cruel death penalty is NOW.
