As Trump and Barr ramp up executions in an unprecedented post-election spasm of killing, Biden must rally America to #AbolishTheDeathPenalty. New @USATODAY https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/12/01/trump-barr-executions-biden-abolish-federal-death-penalty-column/6464354002/
"When Orlando Hall was executed Nov. 20, it was the first federal execution during a transition period between one president and the next since 1889. Trump and Barr are building a bridge back to the 19th century."
"On the other hand, as @LilianaSegura wrote, Hall was one of the first people convicted under the expansion of federal death row under the 1994 crime bill, which Biden championed. No one’s hands are clean."
"We’re going to need to tyrant-proof America in so many ways, so the next rogue regime can’t ignore norms when it suits them. Biden should commute all federal death sentences to life in prison, then rally the nation to commit to abolishing the death penalty."
Please read, share, and organize. Thanks.
