Black man who was executed in Texas 70 years ago is cleared in case marked by racial bias submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave Tommy Lee Walker was executed in the electric chair in May 1956 for the rape and murder of 31-year-old Venice Parker. Nearly 70 years after a Texas Black man was executed in a case that prosecutors now say was based on false evidence and was riddled with racial bias, officials have declared that he was innocent in the killing of a white woman in Dallas. At the time of the trial, prosecutors had alleged Walker attacked Parker, a store clerk who was on her way home, on the evening of Sept. 30, 1953. Parker’s killing took place during a time of panic and racial division in the Dallas area as there were reports that a Peeping Tom believed to be a Black man was terrorizing women, according to the Dallas County Criminal District Attorney’s Office. But an extensive review of Walker’s conviction by the Dallas County Criminal District Attorney’s Office, along with the help of the Innocence Project of New York and Northeastern University School of Law’s Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project, found multiple problems with Walker’s case. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbcblk3/black-man-was-executed-texas-70-years-ago-cleared-case-marked-racial-b-rcna255705 https://lemmy.world/post/42074017

Exclusive: Secret ICE Programs Revealed submitted by https://lemmy.ca/u/NightOwl The media is telling a certain story about ICE, giving the blow by blow on the most public horrors but never quite seeing the bigger picture that it’s part of a larger war. As a military intelligence source told me, the ICE crackdown isn’t just about immigration; it’s about gathering intelligence in support of Trump’s war on cartels — as well as on Antifa, on the radical left, and https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nspm-7-labels-common-beliefs and anyone else they consider terrorists. And since the administration has been so quick to label everyone, including Renee Good, terrorists, it’s no wonder they think they’re at war. https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/21-secret-ice-programs-revealed https://lemmy.world/post/41772900

Old Man Happy Accident submitted by https://lemmy.ca/u/BCsven Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste. Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh. I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product. Best it has looked in 5 years. P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained. https://lemmy.world/post/41767258
