Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: www.treadbylee.com/p/after-just...
After justices warned of prolonged suffocation, Alabama subjected Anthony Boyd to the longest nitrogen execution in U.S. history.
Boyd was the chairman of Project Hope, a death row-led nonprofit. Its members are left reeling in the wake of their leader's suffocation execution.

Everyone is shocked SCOTUS greenlit racial profiling yesterday. But that's been the state of the law for 50 years, since Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S. 873 (1975). There are plenty of reasons that case is wrongly decided but we shouldn't be so surprised. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We need to talk about this. The regime's un-uniformed secret police are snatching people off the streets of U.S. cities, detaining, disappearing and deporting them based on the color of their skin, their tattoos (sometimes mistakenly); even sending some to foreign gulags. www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/p...

It’s so uncharacteristically woke that the Republicans are going to have an AG with lived experience being investigated by federal law enforcement. Up until now, only the far left has really talked about putting justice-involved folks in positions of power in law enforcement.
