When Lisa was 11, her stepfather raped her for the first time. This abuse went on for years — he eventually built a special room to isolate and rape her. When her mother found out, she placed a gun to Lisa's head and threatened her. — PolitiTweet.org

These conditions would be unbearable for anyone, but Lisa's history of immense sexual terror, trauma, and mental illness that developed as a result makes the conditions horrific. — PolitiTweet.org

When Lisa's execution date was scheduled, she was immediately deprived of all possessions and placed in a bright cell where male guards watch her 24/7, even when she uses the bathroom. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Wallace, Jr. should still be alive today. Daniel Prude should still be alive today. Pamela Turner should still be alive today. Isaiah Lewis should still be alive today. Osaze Osagie should still be alive today. We deserve better. https://t.co/uz6Cyn3jf7 — PolitiTweet.org

Song lyrics should not be treated as evidence in criminal trials. In almost every case that music lyrics are used as evidence, the defendant has been Black or Latinx. The use of rap lyrics as evidence is thinly veiled bias. https://t.co/1GhNkUsVwT — PolitiTweet.org

The US has a history of wrongfully removing Native American children from their homes and tribes. Congress passed the Indian Child Welfare Act in 1978 in an effort to stop this from happening — yet unjust removals still occur nationwide.

21 of the people who died in Texas prisons from COVID-19 had served 90% or more of their sentence. Governors across the country must LEAD by working with wardens and other officials to determine how to release as many people as possible before someone else dies. — PolitiTweet.org
