"The more #information you give the #public about the reality of the #deathpenalty, the less support it enjoys. In the #UK... the death penalty has historically failed to get majority support, regardless of the #crime. Only 35% of respondents believe it should be available as a punishment in all cases of #murder, according to YouGov. And in the #US, support for #capital #punishment has steadily declined, from 80% in 1994 to 52% in 2025."

"Meditations On The Botched Execution Of Christa Pike"
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/meditations-on-the-botched-execution
> You cannot make a deep study of trauma and human dysfunction and still sustain a belief in the death penalty. Once you’ve explored your inner depths enough to understand how many factors have contributed to your life being the way it is and caused your mind to operate the way it operates, you can’t really claim that anyone had sufficient control over the way their life unfolded to justify killing them for their crimes.
> As humanity moves more deeply into consciousness, this insight will become more and more brightly illuminated, and we will begin healing our trauma so that the relay baton of suffering stops with us. The vindictive, judgmental scales will fall from our eyes, and there will be a widespread recognition of the fact that, underneath all the savagery and sadism and exploitation and abuse, we were always ultimately just confused and damaged children stumbling through a giant universe that we did not understand.

Siavash Jamshidi Kheirabadi, one of those arrested during the uprising of Dey 1404, was executed this morning.
He was accused of firing at officers on Naser-Khosrow Street in Shahrekord on the 18th of Dey and subsequently fleeing the scene; he was arrested two days later while carrying a handgun.
THIS IS HOW IRI REPORTED ON HIM:
Siavash Jamshidi, an armed thug from Shahrekord, has been executed.
Jamshidi’s extensive criminal record included fraud, making threats, theft, possession of military-grade weaponry, complicity in kidnapping, brandishing weapons to intimidate, intentional infliction of bodily harm, threatening others with a firearm, and firing a handgun in front of the Shahrekord seminary.
Jamshidi was also active during the unrest of last January, during which he fired a military-grade weapon at police officers.

#Trump undoubtedly and certifiably has done many bad things, but he didn't invent the death penalty (not that he wouldn't claim to) nor did he introduce it into the American legal system.

RE: https://mas.to/@brianvastag/117372461831484540
Many Americans think it's OK to dispense a little cruel and unusual punishment, just as a treat, as long as the victims are Bad People.
I would say "What have we become?" if it weren't for the fact that I am fully aware we have always been this.
It is impossible to carry out the #DeathPenalty humanely. It should be abolished nationwide.
(On the bright side, U.S. support for the death penalty has gone down by about 30% in the last 30 years.)

I am very much against the #deathpenalty. While I loathe Christa Pike for what she's done and who she is, the state, i.e. Tennessee, has no business committing murder. The whole biblical tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye justification is bullshit. The bible also says that "And God said, vengeance shall be mine." It's time for religion to die. Thankfully, I am an #atheist.

I can't believe i have to say this, that we still have to say this, but: the death penalty is bad.
It's stupid, it's cruel, it doesn't work.
It is vengeance, it is not justice and it is certainly not reparation.
A society can't fix cruelty with cruelty, and can't prevent killing with killing.
