2 more were executed since the op. 3 more are scheduled to die before inauguration day. this’ll be the most fed. civ. executions for any president in 100+ yrs & violates 130 y.o. precedent that pauses executions during the transition period so the incoming president can weigh in https://twitter.com/vpnix0n/status/1337405643343286272
no federal executions took place in the 1970s - 1990s or in 2010s ... but now there are soon to be at least 13 by the end of january. the worst part is attorney general william barr suggested there could be more executions before inauguration day ...

those executed so far:
•daniel lee: 07/14/20
•wesley purkey: 07/16/20
•dustin honken: 07/17/20

of the 10 men that were fed. executed this year—5 were black, 1 was latinx, & 1 was indigenous. of the 3 people scheduled for fed. execution—2 are black men. 1,529 men & women have been executed in the u.s since the 1970s—516 were black, 128 were latinx, & 16 were indigenous
660 people of color were executed by the states & 7 by the fed. gov’t. people of color continue to be disproportionately effected by the criminal justice system, especially black ppl.
