Isn't it time to arrest and make them assert their immunity in court?

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987 YouTube video by Reagan Library

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

On #WrongfulConvictionDay, protect the innocent in NC by calling Gov. Stein's Office to ask that he veto HB307. The bill creates an arbitrary timeline for post-conviction litigation in capital cases that would make it virtually impossible to exonerate innocent people on death row.

Here are the comments that ABC used as justification for canceling Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

Hear, hear.

Appreciate the opportunity to join @wunc.org to discuss Mr. Cole's case and the evidence of his innocence that led to his freedom. Public radio is a vital source of information, and we must ensure it survives the funding cuts and attacks by the current administration.

Wrongful Convictions Clinic client released after serving 27 years in prison Benjamin Cole is the most recent clinic client to be released

Benjamin Cole always said he was in Ohio at the time of the murder in North Carolina that lead to his conviction. 27 years later, a review of the police department's case file revealed undisclosed records supporting Cole's alibi that he was in Ohio: law.duke.edu/news/wrongfu...

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key.

That right?

North Carolina Republicans restart the steal If you can't beat 'em, try to get 60,000 votes tossed out.

New in PN: North Carolina Republicans restart the steal

"The entire state supreme court affair is a microcosm of the last several years, a one-stop-shop highlighting all the ways in which Republicans have used the nonexistent problem of election fraud to destroy trust and make it harder to vote."

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

NC Supreme Court could now decide who should win the election for a seat on the court After incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs appeared to defeat Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court, Griffin has been seeking to throw out 60,000...

Republicans in North Carolina are trying to steal an election, and their efforts are much closer to succeeding now that the Republicans on the NC Supreme Court will potentially decide the winner.

Roy Cooper’s commutations should signal the death penalty’s end in North Carolina | Opinion Gov. Roy Cooper is the first governor in the history of North Carolina’s modern death penalty to commute more than two death penalty cases. | Opinion

My @dukelaw.bsky.social colleague Brandon Garrett on why Roy Cooper's recent commutations should signal the death penalty's end in North Carolina.

I am very grateful to Governor Cooper for these 15 commutations to life sentences for death row prisoners.
Thanks to the NC Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty for your amazing advocacy.
Let’s continue to work towards abolishing the death penalty.

Biden commutes most federal death row sentences to life in prison before Trump takes office | CNN Politics President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is taking 37 people off federal death row to serve out life sentences behind bars — a decision that leaves only three federal prisoners awaiting execution ...

A historic act by President Biden. He has set a precedent that @ncgov.bsky.social Roy Cooper should follow by commuting NC's death row. Gov. Cooper can build on his own legacy as someone who stands for racial justice, humanity, and morality.

www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/p...

President Biden says he's commuting the prison sentences for nearly 1,500 people and pardoning 39 others.

The White House calls it the largest act of clemency in a single day in modern presidential history.

Actually, Pardons Aren’t Issued Often Enough Fearing political backlash, governors use their clemency powers far less than they once did. But it’s a powerful tool for addressing injustice.

"So as we near the end of the year, I hope outgoing governors will consider greater use of pardons for deserving constituents as they ponder the legacy they want to leave."
