@ijbailey @jessesingal @NoNahNop @eji_org Slavery here was unique. The use of the death penalty here has been racist. Nevertheless what the ACLU wrote was incorrect. And there is good reason to get the facts right even when factual errors are in service to what also feels right to me. — PolitiTweet.org
