If the pardon process used to be "bonkers" when it was actually being followed, I wonder how law professor @rachelbarkow.bsky.social would describe it now. You can find Just Justice wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

I was going to write a Valentine's edition of my monthly justice-related newsletter. And I just couldn't find enough news to love. Waiting until next week when there is no "love" pressure, bc I sure have lots to say.

Hey Bluesky, I left that bluebird where I had a lot of engagement to come here... but I'm finding it hard to gain traction and connect with people. Any suggestions?

I am a diehard, forever NY Giants fan. And normally I'd never support the Eagles. But politics make these times anything but normal. GO BIRDS.

Kelly Savage-Rodriguez defines survivor. She survived years of abuse as a child and later in her marriage. She survived criminal prosecution for the murder of her son -- a crime she did not commit or intend.

Almost slipped by me in the chaos. Trump signed an EO to expand the death penalty to cases that do not involve a homicide -- despite a 2008 SCOTUS ruling that says the death penalty for non- non-homicide cases violates the 8th Amendment. That's all I got this morning. #endthedeathpenalty

The US has a dark history of incredibly long prison sentences. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here's how you can hold your lawmakers accountable in 2025 for high-impact criminal justice reform 👇 https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/winnable2025.html

After pardoning the J-6 people and issuing so many EOs, he proudly announced on national television that on his 1st night in office he'd be busy ...,watching college football.

Sorry to repost from that other place but this was sent to me by a person who was terrified/horrified and it's way out of my area of expertise. Can someone explain possible human extinction from AGI by 2029? x.com/aisafetymeme...

In the last week, we've all watched in sorrow as California burns. Over 900 incarcerated people are working to help douse the LA blazes. These (mostly) men are part of California’s conservation fire camp program and add a much-needed boost to under-resourced fire teams. (a thread)

Alabama sends $ 1.75 per day to counties to feed prisoners. Steve Bright tells us how the Morgan County Sheriff actually *made* money: by serving incarcerated people nothing but corn dogs. #DemandTheImpossible

Just Justice ranked in the global top 10% of podcasts. (Listen Notes) Don't bother telling what's wrong with that stat. I'm busy savoring the moment.

To all who oppose the death penalty, consider signing this petition urging Pres. Biden to #finishthejob by commuting the three remaining federal death row sentences and the sentences of people on military death row. actionnetwork.org/petitions/bi...

Hey #blueskylaw, I'm looking for stories about medical parole or compassionate release (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Would love to connect!

I've been getting a lot of texts and emails about Biden's clemency for the 37 men on federal death row. I'm really happy about that. But I'm also conflicted. Because 3 people are still on federal death row. If the death penalty is wrong (and it is) then it is wrong for everyone.
