this narrative pivot from the field that’s like “public safety, not wealth, should decide who is jailed pretrial” vs “pretrial freedom all day every day” is really getting my goat.

when they say kids are expensive, they mean we bought $40 of fruit for *the week* at the farmers market this morning at 8:30am. reader, it is 7:33 pm on that very same day and i’m going to invite you to guess how many pieces we have left.

gives me chills that people can see somebody experiencing houselessness & feel that *they* are the victims of that story. and that the policy solution is ensuring that they no longer have to see or be proximate to that person, rather than addressing the conditions that leave people without housing.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

i wish more media would just call this president what he is which is blood thirsty. this is the same man who used his own money to take out a full page ad 30 years ago in his personal capacity just to call for the execution of later exonerated Black kids in the Central Park jogger case.

whites supremacy isn’t mostly people in white hoods or proud boys. it’s mostly this belief that the mere act of being white imbues superiority upon you; that white people should have first, best or only access to every good, opportunity & privilege has to offer before anybody else gets anything.

i will never forget the first time i saw kids (16,17,18) coming into Brooklyn criminal court from Rikers like this. it forever radicalized me. please let your heart break and fight for immigrants in ICE detention in this moment.
