I'm excited to announce Secrets of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection. This is an account of all the ways that the state cannot be trusted with the power to kill and how they have tried to hide that reality. This book is the truth every citizen should know.

Dems have been looking for their message for years, and @AnnieAndrewsMD just did it (in under two minutes). Take note 📝

A person died on Arizona’s death row today.
Not by execution, but by the quiet violence of isolation, neglect, and despair.
Arizona now holds 110 people on the row.
Each one human. Each one worth more than this system allows.
We mourn. We fight. #AbolishTheDeathPenalty

Be clear on what she’s saying here: She’s saying that Trump is going to use the U.S. military to overthrow both the duly elected Mayor of Los Angeles & the Governor of California. I understand she’s not very bright, but, in essence, she’s saying the federal government has declared war on California.

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

They weren't eating cats and dogs in Springfield, OH.
Aurora CO was not under siege.
The "caravans" magically ceased the moment the polls closed in '18.
And LA isn't even remotely in danger of "burning to the ground."
This is his go-to parlor trick, folks, to divide and distract.

Sen. Murphy: “They say that he didn’t identify who he was. Watch the video, he clearly states, ‘I am Senator Alex Padilla.’ They’re going to spin this, but I’m begging my Republican colleagues, don’t let them do it.”
Equal Justice USA’s “in the movement” series addresses important topics from the intersection of faith and social justice, and I’m truly honored to be a part of it.

If any other president posted something so hateful and sacrilegious, Christian Republicans would be outraged for weeks. But it’s Trump, so I guess it’s just fine! He’s Jehu/Cyrus/David/or whatever.

@dbaich likened lethal injection executions to “drowning from within.” @lawproflain said “Two or three minutes is a long time when you are being waterboarded to death. And that’s what acute pulmonary edema is — you are drowning in your own fluids.” @DPA_Arizona @ArizonaJP
