Forty-seven men killed by states operating death penalty – almost double last year’s number
US executions have surged in 2025 to the highest level in 16 years, as Donald Trump’s campaign to reinvigorate judicial killings, combined with the US supreme court’s increasing refusal to engage in last-minute pleas for reprieve, have taken a heavy toll.
A total of 47 men – they were all male – have been killed by states operating the death penalty in the course of the year. That was almost double the number in 2024, amounting to the greatest frenzy of capital punishment bloodletting in America since 2009.
The dramatic jump in the practice of state killing will further separate the US from almost all other developed countries. Only Japan, Singapore and Taiwan have staged executions in recent years.
And statistically 2 of those men were likely innocent. Our justice system is too flawed to allow executions. There have been so many documented cases of misconduct and corruption in someone’s case proving an individuals innocence and our government is like, “nope!” we already turned the lights on in the murder room so we’re just going to go ahead murder this guy just because.
I would argue that any justice system short of actual time travel is too flawed to allow execution. The American one just really has a knack for killing (likely innocent) minorities
Time cops are still cops. ACAB.
Trump gets off on killing people.
And rape. These people talk Valhalla and also shit talk Islam and paradise. 🥴
