Several prominent figures, including Senator Durbin and Representative Pressley, have spoken out against the death penalty in the US, citing its inequities, cruelty, and racist nature. Calls for abolishing the federal death penalty and passing bills to end it have been made. However, there are contrasting views, with some advocating for a more public and painful execution process as a deterrent.
Death penalty is sorely lacking in this country. https://t.co/tGz6ZM7uPN

America gets two things wrong about the death penalty. -the time it takes to carry out the sentences when the evidence is ironclad (DNA and in this case he filmed himself) kill him next week. -they do it behind closed doors. Make it painful and make it public as a deterrent. https://t.co/Wjth1XQ4Ec
This is why we need the death penalty https://t.co/Adg2f0naDX
This damning report makes it plain: the death penalty is a racist and inhumane punishment that has no place in our society. TY @ReprieveUS for spotlighting the cruelty of lethal injections. Congress must pass our bill to end the federal death penalty. https://t.co/vxZFHntCbv
The death penalty is cruel, irreversible, and has no place in our society. RT if you agree.
I’ve long said that the death penalty has no place in our society. This thread outlines shocking truths about the inequities of lethal injections in the US. The federal death penalty is failed, unjust, and must be abolished. https://t.co/FU5OkAfzoD
