Tons of fearmongering and misinformation is spreading about the Pretrial Fairness act. Why? Because for decades politicians have relied on the creation of fear to lock up more and more people instead of actually listening to the data and science.

Republicans spreading fear about the Pretrial Fairness Act don't want you to hear stories like Miguel's. Miguel was jailed for nine months not because he was a danger to anyone but because he couldn't afford bond. When his case went to trial, he was found not guilty.

Two thirds of people serving life sentences in Illinois are Black, though Black people make up just 15% of the state's population. If there were any doubt, racism is the cornerstone of incarceration.

Rich people aren’t getting shot at schools or murdered by police. Rich people aren’t fighting wars. Rich people aren’t exposed to pandemic risk or the effects of climate change like everyone else. But rich people are getting richer while everyone else gets more precarious

This is only true if you have expectations of democracy. If you imagine that you’re living in an oligarchy, everything is working quite well and the horizon is long

If politicians were actually concerned about people's well-being, they would invest in life saving infrastructure instead of grandstanding about the value of policing. Policing enables austerity.

Truly remarkable. Chicago Tribune, not known for nuanced reporting on justice reform, today out w/ a scathing, detailed, granular report w/ one conclusion: Mayor Lori Lightfoot has brazenly lied to Chicagoans to cage more Black people. She cant be trusted.chicagotribune.com/news/crim…

Police react to crime, they don’t prevent it. Courts bring vengeance, not justice. Prisons cause violence, they don’t stop it.

Trauma has taught you to always be prepared to exit. May this be the season you give yourself the gift of being present. Take a breath. Stay awhile… Lay down the armor. Unpack the baggage. Rest.
