    Very excited to share the cover of my new book, How the Word Is Passed. It’s my first book of nonfiction and I’m really proud it. It’s coming out June 1, 2021 and is now available for preorder. I hope you’ll consider getting a copy and spreading the word.

    These executions were a conscious choice. Barr, presumably with Trump’s approval, ordered them. They didn’t have to. This isn’t some required duty they had no choice but to carry out. They made executing people a priority. They made it their legacy. They’re proud of it.

    U.S. immigration laws hold immigrants to moral standards that many citizens wouldn't meet; immigration officials apply these standards in racially-unequal ways. Here, outlines some of the stigmatizing effects of these laws on immigrants who use drugs. I'm quoted, too!

    I started my application to become a US citizen this fall. I had to answer whether I ever been a "habitual drunkard." Behind the hypocritical McCarthy-era question are stigmatizing policy & laws that punish immigrants who use drugs. It has to change.

    There is no justice to be found in the death penalty. None.

    People do not have to be perfect to be afforded the opportunity to live. Someone having a criminal record does not justify police shooting & killing them. Someone having committed a crime does not mean they should be executed. Some things are wrong, simply because they are wrong.

    "We guessed that most of the authors would be white, but we were shocked by the extent of the inequality once we analyzed the data. Of the 7,124 books for which we identified the author’s race, 95 percent were written by white people."

    The death penalty is wrong. It’s just so wrong.

    Remember: Brandon Bernard is the 9th person in line to die in the federal execution chamber since July. Yesterday I spoke for hours with the loved one of a man who was executed earlier this year. The grief and trauma is unbearable, yet their voices are often silenced or ignored.

    Everyone listen to FLOODLINES!

    Listening to Floodlines by recommendation. The last episode is so so so telling. I have to pause it every few minutes because my ears can’t believe the information going into them.

    Despite their protestations, Trump and most of his supporters understand that he got fewer votes, that he lost the states he lost, and that Biden won. It’s just that they don’t think votes for Democrats should count, so none of that actually matters.

    When there is this level of uncertainty about someone's role in a crime, you simply cannot move forward killing them, because there is no going back from that.

    “Although prosecutors repeatedly stressed that he was the only one in a position to set the car on fire, neither Lewis nor Brown said they saw him do it. Bernard’s lawyers also emphasized the lack of physical evidence linking their client to the fire.”

    None of this is to say that accountability doesn't matter, even when you're a teenager, but accountability is not killing someone for something they were involved in as a teen. One can understand that what happened to the victims was horrible, and not support taking another life.

    "In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling, Roper v. Simmons, which outlawed death sentences for defendants who committed their crimes before the age of 18...Today it is unlikely that Bernard would be sentenced to die for his role in the crime."

    Bernard would not deserve to die even if he had been the one to pull the trigger, bc the death penalty is wrong. But the idea that this man is going to be killed for something that happened two decades ago, when he wasn't the actual person who took the victims' lives is egregious

    It is categorically *absurd* that someone should get the death penalty (at all) but *especially* for something they did when they were a teenager. Research shows our brains aren't fully developed until our mid-20s. And they want to *kill* him for something he did when he was 18.
