I remember #KennethSmith executed by the state of Alabama on Jan 25, 2024. The state tortured him to death using nitrogen hypoxia, a method never used before. He suffocated by breathing pure nitrogen gas. #EndTheDeathPenalty

“I do not think that God approves the death penalty for any crime. Capital punishment is against the better judgment of modern criminology, and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay

To Dr. King, capital punishment was both wrong as a matter of morality and misguided as a matter of policy.

MLK on the death penalty still lands like a gavel: it is vengeance dressed up as justice. Data does not prove it, fairness does not survive it, and mercy cannot coexist with state-sanctioned killing. If we want a justice system, start by choosing life.

On #MLKDay2026 we honor a man who always felt "an obligation to think purely of PEACE" Even in his resistance to injustice.

I remember #RickyGray executed by the state of Virginia on Jan 18, 2017. The autopsy showed he suffered an acute pulmonary edema during the execution by lethal injection. An expert said that he felt like drowning. There is no humane way to execute someone. #EndTheDeathPenalty

It’s a new year, but at least one thing’s still the same: The death penalty does not make our communities safer. Decades of research show that the death penalty does not deter crime or protect the most vulnerable from harm. Advocates in California are collaborating with Lush

Love seeing signs supporting Toforest Johnson in Birmingham. If you don't know, the DA and original prosecutor asked for a new trial but Alabama's AG is fighting it. Toforest just spent his 27th Christmas on death row for a crime he didn't commit. #injustice #deathpenalty

"I am a victim’s family member. My voice should matter," writes daughter of man murdered in 1991. She's asking Alabama to stop the execution of Sonny Burton, a 75 y/o in a wheelchair who did not kill her father, but the state wants to execute him anyway.
