@Moonlitpiglet You weren't involved either — PolitiTweet.org

@Moonlitpiglet @JohannesClimac5 For sure, you're emanating chill and easy-going vibes! Capital punishment is working! — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@Moonlitpiglet Mk let's not lose the thread: I actually am very familiar with violent crime on a personal level and there are many, many survivors of violent crime who oppose capital punishment. That's what we're establishing. So we can terminate this weird line of insults. — PolitiTweet.org

@SouthernGothic3 @Moonlitpiglet @smolgardenghost There's now a major lawsuit in OK due in part to those botched executions, and the state may lose its capacity to perform executions whatsoever for sometime going forward as a result. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@Moonlitpiglet @JohannesClimac5 No, you're just really mad because the things he did are really horrible and reading about them is godawful and semi-traumatic. I hate that shit too, and it makes me angry. But capital punishment doesn't do anything to fix those emotions. Proof: He's dead, you're still angry! — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@Moonlitpiglet Do you want me to tag in a bunch of survivors against capital punishment organizations or do you want me to point out my sister in law was murdered? Can do either one or even both — PolitiTweet.org

@Moonlitpiglet @JohannesClimac5 Well you didn't ask what the argument of the article is, you asked what reason there was to keep Cox alive, so I was citing reasons that required keeping Cox alive specifically, as opposed to arguments that apply generally to all people. — PolitiTweet.org

@Moonlitpiglet @JohannesClimac5 His son, 18, saw him the day he died for the first time in more than a decade, and later said he wished he'd spent more time with him. What if he could have had a relationship with his father? What if Cox could've told Amber Miskelly about what happened to her mom? — PolitiTweet.org

@SouthernGothic3 @Moonlitpiglet @smolgardenghost Because of the Eighth Amendment. If you like the First and Second, you should like this one too. — PolitiTweet.org

Cox was a poor white man from the South. I understand you believe that it was good he was executed, but it's certainly not the case he appears as an especially exotic character here. — PolitiTweet.org

i don't think i'm an especially moral person, i'm doing this because intellectually i believe it's the morally right thing to do and i am desperately *trying* to be a good person/make good use of the vocation i've been given — PolitiTweet.org

Where human dignity is least obvious it's most important to make a fuss about it. Same reason I've written about poverty for a long time. — PolitiTweet.org

@reluctantcentr3 You tweeted the link and I've got a link search up so I can RT! I interpreted the whole 'cheap activism' thing as rude but didn't mind so much because ultimately it's an issue where people get pissy a lot — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@reluctantcentr3 You've actually written a lot of tweets about it! I just assume when people talk a lot about something they want you to talk back to them — PolitiTweet.org

@reluctantcentr3 It's also worth noting that it all depends on how you ask the question. If you actually ask likely voters about whether they support killing the people we, as a matter of fact, kill, they have quite a few reservations about it. https://t.co/aLadyD5Vry — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@reluctantcentr3 No, I'm responding to you. You keep tweeting about me and the piece I wrote and you seem sort of interested in arguing but also very offended by the idea of arguing! My argument is this isn't 'simping' though I get accused of that occasionally, often with that kind of overtone. — PolitiTweet.org

@str_voyage cant joke about that these days — PolitiTweet.org

@reluctantcentr3 I mean if you think this and if you dislike me so much, why follow? — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
That's just them dealing with their stuff, though. It's got nothing to do with me. I'm upfront about my reasons: I think killers are hard to defend but that defending human life is important, and the hardest to defend lives are therefore quite important to defend. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
It is true that if you're against capital punishment and you write about it, you're met with the most wild psychosexual stuff imaginable, lot of it racialized — I get many emails where guys are dealing with thoughts about my being a white woman and some inmates being black men — PolitiTweet.org
