This is fantastic. Also, any surviving Rosenberg kin should be allowed to bulldoze the Marcus family mausoleum.
It took them 50 years to issue a proclamation, but no pardon, for Nicola and Bart, after mounting evidence, that neither of the two committed murder. Even then, the two were never pardoned. I highly doubt that the same kind of mercy would be extended to Ethel Rosenberg.
I see The Nation is hard at work on topical issues of our time.
Next up: Mary Magdalene was not a whore and the Pilgrims knew it all along.
It is topical, you would know that if you read the article as declassified files were released in 2024, that showed Ethel was not a spy, no one is arguing her husband wasn't a spy, so yes it is relevant to ask for a posthumous pardon after evidence was revealed this year that she had nothing to do with it and the government at the time knew that, but chose to execute her anyways.

An NSA codebreaker’s 1950 assessment reveals Ethel Rosenberg knew of her husband’s espionage but ‘did not engage in the work herself’ — despite this, the US sent her to die in the electric chair, writes ANDREW TUCKER
I know... I'm not saying it's not important. In fact, it's supremely important to expose the truth about our dysfunctional state agencies, even three quarters of a century after the fact.
I know...
But really, Trump v2 and the fast unrolling of the American Reich really puts the Rosenbergs on the back burner. We have much more grave and pressing problems right now and this is not helping.
They don't really care about that, given KKKamala said "we must have a peaceful transfer to power to Hitler 2"
The fact that you think pardoning someone decades later and "stopping fascism" would involve the same people doing the same work means you don't know much at all about either of them.
The state institutions that you and all of your elected leaders love so much both killed the Rosenbergs and pardoned Trump for the exact same reasons. They aren't "dysfunctional". They are doing their jobs quite well.
