Yep. The only way to justify the death penalty in a system we know for a fact convicts people we later prove to be innocent is to be ok with executing some innocent people.

I’m very comfortable saying that even a single innocent person killed by the state is too high a cost to pay.

I just got confused because the video doesn’t show up in reader mode haha.

The article only lists five. Where’d the sixth name come from?

Edit: there’s a video at the top with the readout.

I didn’t say that I was ashamed of myself, I said I was ashamed of men and the association they cast on me.

You’re kinda enabling that behavior by advocating against vocalizing how shitty it is.

It’s fun being deeply ashamed of your gender because some of us are filth and scum.

These fuckers harm everyone with their actions. Wish we could do something actionable about it.
