Or how Democrats wrote the 94 Crime Bill leading to mass racialized incarceration on steroids?
Or how Democrats led “welfare reform”?
Or how Democrats have written blank checks to police departments serving as ICE’s bodyguards because, as Joe Biden said, they think they’re role is to “FUND, FUND, FUND” the police?

Is it too soon to talk about the role Democrats played in getting ICE contracts for detention centers in rural communities in the name of jobs?

Schumer isn't afraid of Dem voters. People can yell *primary* all they want as the Federal government becomes more fascist over time. There is no organized movement against the Democratic party. There's the fascists and their enablers (the Democratic party). Perhaps this would be the final straw.

but he was quite liberal in his support for policing and mass incarcerating Black people
This isn’t a small note.
I don’t hate Biden with the intensity so many on here do (and not looking to relitigate that here).
But he was always really conservative on policing, and he hadn’t really changed, and lots of changes he could have at least started never happened, and that’s really bad.

This is just a small side note, but one of the things that astonished me most about the Biden transition was there seemed to be no plan whatsoever to root Trumpism out of the fed bureacracy. Firmly believe we'd be in a much better place had they taken that on....

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

A group of Chicago cops have been accused of bullying witnesses into falsely implicating suspects, & threatening to separate people from children if they didn’t provide favorable testimony.
But prosecutors are failing to take a meaningful look back at people convicted bc of their testimonies:
