Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point.

People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.

They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.

And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

The data is undeniable:
•15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access.
•12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access.

Why is this even a debate?

“If a prosecutor is precluded from admitting illegally obtained evidence at trial they can still introduce that evidence at a revocation proceeding. Increasingly, the revocation hearing has supplanted the criminal trial as a primary prosecutorial method.”
