We can hold space in our hearts to mourn these deaths, while also calling on U.S. policymakers to use their power to do everything they can to stop all further loss of innocent lives, no matter the identity

No mention of the fact that the Biden administration is the one arming the genocide, nor do they demand Biden stop sending Israel weapons. Just "The Biden administration must call for a ceasefire" while still supplying them with weapons I guess.

That is a work of fucking art.

Depraved, soul-less art.

"Harris, one of the primary authors of the school to prison pipeline... • Went on record saying people 18 to 24 are "stupid - and that's why we put them in dormatories and they have a resident assistant! They make really bad decisions!" • Fought to deny healthcare to trans inmates • Aggressively targeted sex workers against best practice recommendations • Fought to deny parole for prisoners because California sold them for slave labor • Put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when asked if she ever smoked marijuana • Blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death raw until the court forced her to do so • Kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California • Fought to keep cash bail system in place, that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way. • Despite a Supreme Court order that she release 5,000 prisoners of non-violent drug crimes… She kept them in there, saying that we needed them for firefighting and for other public works services. • Backed a bail fund, the "Minnesota Freedom Fund" that bailed out allegedly not so nice people including: A man accused of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl A father accused of molesting his 15-year-old daughter A man accused of sexually assaulting his 16-year-old niece Two men accused of strangling their wives in their homes A man who punched his girlfriend six times. A man accused of assaulting an elderly woman as he burglarized her home. A man accused of robbing and stomping on his victim’s head"
