Sam was tortured and ultimately murdered by five people. Five! This is just one of the reasons I’m terrified to stay in the US. This was a #HateCrime and I hope that the perpetrators are charged as such. They robbed Sam of his dignity and his life.

Great advice from @mark.bsky.social today: if you see something, save something.

@archive.org has a free tool on their website that allows anyone to save a webpage they fear might disappear.

There's even a browser extension that allows you to save every page you visit, if you are so inclined.

We have to do better Virginia.

Fellow podcasters, do you find it’s easier to work on and release an entire season or just focus on one episode at a time?

You know shit is wild and chaotic when the literal identity of Jack the Ripper was found 2 weeks ago and didn't get any mainstream notice smh. His name is Aaron Kosminski. #jacktheripper #truecrime #coldcase

This is unacceptable. It is bullying and just another attempt to erase LBG and especially T children from society. Contact your local representatives today, if we don’t fight this there will be no future for these children that go missing.
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Wow! I definitely need to do some research on this myself. If this is legit, just think of how many other crimes could potentially be solved!!
#TrueCrime sky….have we heard abt #JackTheRipper being identified via DNA? The #ColdCase to end all cold cases! What do we think abt this??

Now we just need Zodiac and JonBenet!

Never give up hope. This case shows that despite the odds against you, you should never give up the pursuit of justice and truth. My heart truly goes out to Ellen's parents not only did they lose their daughter, but they've been fighting for years for justice.

Absolutely! I've always thought this comes down to the argument of nature vs. nurture. Are criminals born with a genetic variant that causes them to act outside of the rules of society or are they manipulated through life experiences?

This is literally one of my favorite podcasts, it inspired me to start Malefaction. If you haven’t already, give this podcast a go, you won’t be disappointed.
This week’s episode of Crimes of the Centuries looks at the 1944 murders of two young girls and the execution just three months later of a 14-year-old boy who scholars believe was innocent all along. #wrongfulconvictions #podcasts #truecrime #history

When a criminal commits and is convicted of a crime they should not be pardoned as a political ploy to make someone look good. There is no justice in allowing criminals breaks the rules of society without consequences just because of their political affiliation.
