Senator Joe Biden wrote the law that helped sentence almost all of the men currently on death row. President Biden is now weighing whether to spare them from execution. My look at his long evolution, and the weighty decision now before him: washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

“I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level…In good conscience, I cannot stand back & let a new administration resume executions that I halted.” nytimes.com/2024/12/23/us/…

Merry Christmas, here’s my piece about Biden’s death row commutations, which brought joy and relief to the condemned, their lawyers, and their families.

GAZA: 5 Palestinian journalists were killed when an Israeli air strike targeted their press van. The journalists worked and slept in this vehicle, thinking they would be safe. More than 200 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli attacks.

Ayman al-Jadi, one of the five journalists murdered by Israel yesterday, while they were sleeping in a clearly-marked press van, was killed as his wife was about to gave birth to their first child. These men were all clearly targeted & yet journalists around the world don't care.

As we leave 2024 behind, I need to thank every last person who sent condolences after we lost Wally, my loyal companion of 15 years. I miss him every day. But your messages (and dog pics) helped a lot. So thank you. Carrying that kindness into 2025. 🐾x.com/radleybalko/st…

Re: Zuckerberg's announcement: Censorship of Palestinians & pro-Palestine voices has been pervasive across Meta's platforms. A lot of people who claim to be pro-free speech go very quiet when it's those voices being quashed or they want that kind of speech suppressed.

A month into the new year, world is on fire, fascism rising, and yet my reflex to check this app is increasingly nonexistent. I do check Bluesky roughly 10000 times a day, however. (Join if you haven’t! And come say hello, same handle.)

The “worst of the worst” are now mostly free. Of 779 men who endured American freedom and justice (torture and imprisonment without charge or trial) over 24 yrs, 15 remain. Kidnap, torture, and illegal imprisonment are among the worst state crimes. Now do a self-assessment.

Florida prosecutors say Michelle Taylor used gasoline to set a fire that killed her son. Top forensic chemists say they’re wrong. interc.pt/429Hhad

New from me The Intercept: A FL woman faces life in prison for killing her son in a fire. But the fire marshal's lab has a history of misidentifying gasoline in fire debris & experts say that's what happened here. A new twist on an all-too familiar story. x.com/theintercept/s…
