South Carolina set to execute prisoner in state's first firing squad execution

Brad Sigmon, convicted in a 2002 double murder, has chosen a method that is rarely used. Utah carried out the last firing squad execution in 2010.

NBC News · South Carolina set to execute prisoner in state's first firing squad executionBy Abigail Brooks

I have such admiration for this man! We need to continue to be brave, speak out, We need to use our voices while we still can.

It is critically important for me to note that the atrocities of the Holocaust did not occur in a vacuum... In that moment I was given on Jan. 27, I chose to name only a few of the policies that are a dangerous echo of what took place in prewar Nazi Germany. I knew there would be pushback. People in positions of power don’t like to be challenged."

A moment to explore during Black History Month:

"Maternal deaths have dropped in the U.S. with the exception of Black mothers"

Meanwhile, #SouthCarolina #Republican lawmakers voted AGAINST the "SOUTH CAROLINA DIGNITY IN PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH ACT" which would have researched and targeted root causes for this perennial discrepancy.

You seeing a pattern here?

🚨 Disability rights are under attack in 17 states! 🚨

There’s a lawsuit trying to get rid of Section 504, the law that protects disabled people in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. If they succeed, it means:

❌ Schools wouldn’t have to provide accommodations (no extra test time for ADHD, no wheelchair access, no diabetes care in class).
❌ Workplaces wouldn’t have to adjust for disabilities (no remote work, no flexible scheduling, no accessibility requirements).
❌ Public spaces could ignore accessibility needs (buildings, buses, and services wouldn’t have to be usable for disabled people).

📍 These 17 states are trying to gut 504 protections:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia.

If you live in one of these states, contact your state reps & governor! If this lawsuit succeeds, other states could follow, or it could reach the Supreme Court and hurt everyone.
