Bolts @boltsmagNEW in Bolts: An executive order restored voting rights to Iowans with past convictions. It was followed by little-to-no public education by state officials and widespread confusion by would-be voters.038011.2K

- shaena fazal@shaefazshaena fazalRT @johnewetzel: Mistick’s column on the trauma of public executions is worth a careful read. The human cost is real for everyone involved. We can disagree on the death penalty while still choosing dignity and civil conversation.010396
- shaena fazal@shaefazshaena fazalRT @JuvLaw1975: It costs $8-21 billion each year to incarcerate children nationally. Conversely, investments in community programs like diversion, restorative justice & violence interruption are much more effective, create greater public safety, & cost much less money.040272
- shaena fazal@shaefazshaena fazalRT @SenThomTillis: Hasan should face the death penalty, but making his execution public and streaming it? Beyond disgusting. Public executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do. It should not be happening in America.CBS News @CBSNewsThe U.S. military plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, the ex-Army major who was convicted of the 2009 killing of 13 people at Fort Hood, when he faces a firing squad on Dec. 3, a Pentagon official said. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier Thursday the Pentagon planned to make the execution public. Hasan's case could mark the military's first execution of an American service member since 1961.01.1K0769K

012329- shaena fazal@shaefazshaena fazalRT @PaCrimeComm: Victim services are facing a critical moment — and communities need to understand what is at stake. PCCD’s VOCA Toolkit explains how federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding reductions are affecting Pennsylvania’s victim service providers and the victims and survivors they serve. VOCA funding helps support essential services across the Commonwealth, including advocacy, counseling, crisis intervention, emergency shelter, safe housing, hotlines, court accompaniment, and other supports that help victims find safety, stability, and a path forward after crime. But the federal Crime Victims Fund has declined sharply, creating serious challenges for the local programs that victims and survivors rely on. PCCD surveyed 127 victim service providers to better understand the impact of VOCA funding reductions. The findings show providers are facing increased staff burnout, hiring challenges, reduced capacity, and growing concern about their ability to fully meet victims’ needs. The toolkit is a resource for advocates, service providers, local leaders, policymakers, and community partners working to protect victim services in Pennsylvania.

I tell you about the people who write to me because you got them through their worst night. I tell you about the work, the wins, the days that ask too much. Mostly I tell you about your grandchildren. They know your laugh. They ask about what you were like. I tell them you were kind. You spent your life making people feel less alone. That job is ours now. Miss you today. Miss you always. Love you forever.05K0888K
