Mississippi man serving an illegal sentence granted clemency, weeks after his brother Two brothers who received illegal prison sentences that were years longer than the maximum penalty for their crimes have been granted clemency by Mississippi Gov.

To let fascism win, we’re calling your bluff
You can’t stop what’s coming; we’re strong and we’re tough
And we’ll stomp out the fascists, leave but a puff.
