But what if instead we focused on covering how policy affects peoples lives? How about we try to inform about things that matter. Please read and share (post is open).

"This isn’t about justice, although justice should be the aspirational goal. President Trump is going to exit the White House with an unprecedented flurry of preemptive pardons for everyone who might possibly implicate him in anything. President-elect Biden has indicated he’ll let the Justice Department decide who to prosecute, but I’m skeptical this will happen. Influential voices are lining up against prosecuting Trump. Biden is wary that prosecutions would be a distraction. And after all, Nixon was pardoned, Iran-Contra forgotten, and Obama famously chose to “look forward, not backwards,” when choosing not to investigate the Bush-era use of torture. Letting Republican administrations off the hook for malfeasance has been common, but not in the end restorative."

As Trump and Barr ramp up executions, Biden must rally America to end the death penalty

This spasm of state murder is unprecedented. Lives should not be subject to the whims of prosecutors, judges and rogue outgoing presidents like Trump.

"The American people have spoken and elected Joe Biden to be our next president. In a civilized country, the process of smoothly handing over power from one side to the other would consist, at the bare minimum, of precluding irrevocable decisions by the outgoing administration. Attorney General William Barr’s reaction: Kill as many people as he can as quickly as possible.

The Trump administration’s final spasms of state murder make one thing clear: Biden must abolish the federal death penalty. Every state should follow suit. No longer should lives be subject to the political whims of prosecutors, judges and rogue outgoing presidents."
