Hello. On Feb 6, my former client Demetrius Frazier will be gas-tortured to death in Alabama. My column “Leadership abdication and Alabama’s next execution” has been published in The MontgomeryAdvertiser (in Alabama) & also at @USATODAY.com Here’s a free link. Please read: archive.ph/2025.01.28-1...
Hi everyone. There’s a lot of bad things going on in the world, but one good thing is: The Montgomery Advertiser—Alabama’s best & most historic newspaper—published “Cloverdale Park, Part Three—Love After Death Revisited: A short story.” Please give it a read! Thank you! www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
Cloverdale Park, Part Three – Love After Death Revisited: A short story

Not too many people are still thinking about this, but I forgot to mention my column (which you can find on my timeline), “Alabama savagely gas-tortured a 7th man to death,” was also published in The Tuscaloosa News & The Gadsden Times on Friday. The next gassing-execution date hasn’t been set. Yet.

🗣️ The Montgomery Advertiser—Alabama’s oldest and best newspaper—doesn’t have a presence (yet) on #Bluesky which is too bad. ICYMI this is my most recent opinion-essay just published by The Advertiser concerning last week’s execution in Alabama. Thank you. www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinio...

I remember when things were simpler to discuss—though no less horrifying—before this evening and Alabama’s 7th nitrogen-gassing-torture (and the nation’s 8th). Still pardon me for my abundance of posts on this topic lately—I know it’s a pretty niche subject of interest. www.yahoo.com/news/atrocit...

In January 2024, after Alabama’s first execution by nitrogen-gassing, I published “Alabama torture outrage muted and unconscionably insufficient.” Alabama has since gas-tortured 5 more men. Another gassing is set for Thursday, October 23. For more info: see my timeline. www.yahoo.com/news/alabama...
Alabama torture outrage muted and unconscionably insufficient
Torture, and the abhorrence of good, moral people everywhere to it, has been, until now, a non-partisan issue.

FYI Today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit refused to stay Alabama’s 7th nitrogen-gassing-execution torture on 10/23, affirming a federal district court’s decision that 2 to 7 minutes of conscious suffocation would not establish an 8th Amendment violation.

October 10, 2025, the global community marks the 23rd World Day Against the Death Penalty. Even if you believe in the #deathpenalty, while I’d urge you to reconsider, I hope you can at least agree gassing human beings to death is wrong. This weekend, I’ll publish another essay—in Alabama—about this.

In 15 days, Alabama will torture a 7th man to death with nitrogen gas. Weird how the social media outrage hasn’t extended to repetitively torturing people with nitrogen gas.

🔊 Last Thursday, Alabama savagely gas-tortured a sixth man to death. On October 23rd, three weeks from today, Alabama has a seventh gassing. Weird how more attention isn’t being paid to that. In June, I called it, the gassings, “the descent of mankind.”
