What did the WH, Congress and SCOTUS all have in common in 2020? The display of cruelty.

There is something so morally depraved about all this.
Trump has scheduled five executions between now and Biden’s inauguration. Not since Grover Cleveland’s presidency in the 19th century has a president ordered the executions of incarcerated people during a lame-duck session.
As it always is with Trump, the cruelty is the point.

Where there is no mercy there is no justice, where there is no justice there is no love, where there is no love there is no God.
Brandon Bernard was 19 when he committed murder. Since then, five jurors and a former prosecutor have said they don’t support the death penalty in his case.
Brandon will be the ninth person executed by the federal government this year.
We must end this horrible practice.

The book recommendations are good but a check for $1B to a hunger organization plus a public request to ask some of his billionaire friends to also chip in a billion would be even better. American billionaires have made $1 Trillion since the pandemic began.time.com/5918531/bill-gates-…

.@ninaturner serving in Congress is one of the most wonderful things that could happen. Powerful forces would find it deeply inconvenient & will spend a lot of money to stop her. We need to do a major We the People move and make it happen anyway. Go Nina! google.com/amp/s/thehill.com…

One reason we’re losing our democracy is that too many keep making a purely political argument when the problem is a philosophical one. What we think of as “the issues” reflect an underlying issue: our govt isn’t even trying to be “of the people, by the people & for the people.”

Dear God, At this moment of our collective shame we ask your forgiveness. Forgive us our cold hearts. Bless this man and his family. May angels attend to them. May love yet prevail. Amen
1 hour until Brandon Bernard will be executed. It’s #HumanRightsDay and here in the United States we are executing someone who was 18 at the time of the crime, was not the shooter and has rehabilitated himself. So shameful. 💔

Ah Bernie, but they will go on recess won’t they? ...
I am on the Senate floor to introduce a bipartisan amendment to provide $1,200 in direct payments to working-class adults and $500 to each of their kids. In the midst of this pandemic, Congress cannot go on recess without providing this relief. nitter.vloup.ch/i/broadcasts/1ea…

The greed & injustice is so baked into the cake at this point it’s going to take a serious jolt of revolutionary fervor to change direction. We should be talking about the MIC, repealing the top ‘17 tax cuts, cutting corporate welfare. Change the conversation to change the world.
Endless money for wars? No problem. Endless money for tax breaks for the rich? No problem. Endless money for corporate welfare? No problem. But when it comes to providing a $1,200 direct payment to the working class during a pandemic, somehow we can't afford it. Not acceptable.
