Killing disclosure: The unspoken effect of the death penalty for child rapists in Louisiana
Killing disclosure: The unspoken effect of the death penalty for child rapists in Louisiana

As someone who works closely with survivors and within Louisiana’s legal system, I want to be clear: the death penalty will not protect children. It will silence them.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Kennedy was not abstract nor academic. It was grounded in the recognition that capital punishment for child rape carries profound risks, including discouraging reporting and increasing the likelihood of lethal violence against victims. The court explicitly acknowledged child sexual abuse is most often committed by someone the child knows and trusts, not a stranger.

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants
The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services. The cuts could total as much as $2 billion.
Three sources said they believe total cuts to nonprofit groups, many providing street-level care to people experiencing addiction, homelessness and mental illness, could reach roughly $2 billion. NPR wasn't able to independently confirm the scale of the grant cancellation. The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) didn't respond to a request for clarification.
