TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY

20/20 DOWNTOWN - 6/22/2000, ABC

Some twenty years later, Johnson would go on to become the Speaker of the New York City Council.

I remember #CoreyJohnson executed by the Federal government on Jan 14, 2021. His attorneys stated: Mr. Johnson, a person with intellectual disability, was executed in stark violation of the Constitution and federal law. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1omLJbbxTS9lKv6fLRTLXAWJynYxHFe9K/view

Et #DustinHiggs probablement ce soir : trois exécutions en une semaine.

And we do this one more time Friday, with the last federal execution during the presidency of Donald #Trump, a longtime, ardent death-penalty proponent. #DustinHiggs would be the 13th execution under Trump. It'd be the third this week, after #LisaMontgomery and #CoreyJohnson.
