Preview of what y'all have to look forward to in the US I guess.
We're all waiting on the midterms to see if the US can reign in the Trump regime. It will be the last point of no return.
The last non-violent point of no return*

The death penalty in the U.S. never went away federally. They are rare though, only 16 in my life. 13 were performed in the last 6 months of Trump's first term.
For the most part executions are carried out by the states, and it's usually in the south. (Texas and Oklahoma like to stand out there, though Desantis wants Florida to be a contender)
