We find that being a white biblical literalist is the strongest predictor of preferring wrongful conviction. Preference for wrongful conviction over erroneous acquittal stems from the combination of sacralized authoritarianism & perceived racial threat.

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.

Just a reminder… there are over 2000 verses in the Bible that talk about how much God cares for the poor.

Keep posting your favorite Bible verses about God’s concern for the poor… while our politicians consider making a deal with the devil.

The family was out today protesting! Great crowd!
Heavy right wing presence at the HB pier already, they set themselves up where protestors normally stand, and they’re right in the middle of the No Kings protest.
