Shame, Shame, SHAME on San Diego for ever voting in their conservative Republican District Attorney. We told them this type of stuff would happen and (white) voters voted her in anyway (or because of this). She is now forcing defendants to do something truly outrageous. https://t.co/iuerap3tBp
RT @ScottHech: Absolute vile, unconstitutional insanity. Prosecutors realize change is coming to end mass criminalization. So theyre requiring anyone pleading guilty TODAY to waive rights to benefit from smarter, fairer laws TOMORROW. Want to lock in as much pain as possible before they can’t. https://t.co/TMDp5nzWMC
Not joking. I asked about a dozen people who told me they are supporting Joe Biden what they like about his views or policy positions.... And they had absolutely no idea. I asked them what they knew about his views on a variety of issues. They had nothing. Mainly just Obama.

RT @DrRJKavanagh: Women in Missouri prisons are not given free tampons. They can buy them for $5.63, but they earn just $7.50 a month, so most make do with poor quality pads they are given free, which even the BOP head says no one would willingly use if they had a choice. https://t.co/q0Wu62dYfy
RT @RashidaTlaib: Because our country deserves political courage & women who understand the sense of urgency to make transformational change.

RT @kylegriffin1: Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano: "When the president asked Corey Lewandowski ... to get Mueller fired, that's obstruction of justice. When the president asked his then-White House counsel to get Mueller fired & then lie about it, that's obstruction of justice." https://t.co/5k3dSpD76v
Heather Heyer was a HUGE Bernie supporter. She volunteered with my justice efforts in the year before she was killed. She fought for Democratic Socialism and Union rights. She was a frontline protestor against racial injustice and was murdered fighting against bigotry. https://t.co/dD1tjrYt7m
RT @davidsirota: Idea: if you’re a politician raising cash from lobbyists & someone says “you’re raising money from lobbyists,” this statement is not an “attack” or “negative.” It’s just literally a fact. And if you’re raising that cash, you obviously dont think its negative, or you wouldnt do it
RT @ajjaffe: Warren: “@ a time when biggest financial institutions in this country were trying 2 put squeeze on millions of hardworking families...there was nobody to stand up to them. I got in that fight b/c they just didn’t have anyone, & Biden was on the side of the credit card companies.” https://t.co/HBOosOm4Ks
RT @ajjaffe: I asked Elizabeth Warren in Cedar Rapids if she felt Joe Biden was too cozy to Wall Street to be an effective regulator of the industry as president. She didn’t go directly on the attack, but did acknowledge they’ve clashed over the issue. Full response: #iacaucus https://t.co/qtA2AveKKB
RT @germanrlopez: I can’t emphasize this enough: This is not some mistake. This is not merely falling into a “tough on crime” era. Biden led the charge for mass incarceration and the war on drugs. Federal policy could look very different — likely much less punitive — today without Biden’s work.
RT @germanrlopez: When Democrats were criticized for not going far enough in their anti-crime proposals in the early 1990s, Biden boasted about how much his plan escalated the death penalty — claiming “we do everything but hang people for jaywalking.” https://t.co/kcvn19Cl9u
RT @germanrlopez: Biden was very clear about what he was doing. In 1989, for example, Biden went on national TV to criticize President George H.W. Bush’s plan to escalate the war on drugs — because Bush’s plan, Biden said, didn’t do enough to lock up a bunch of people. https://t.co/Y913PjyRo7
RT @AutulloAAS: BREAKING: U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman issues temporary injunction that bars state of Texas from enforcing law that says state contract workers cannot boycott Israel. This stems from lawsuit from Pflugerville Schools speech pathologist Bahia Amawi. Story to come.
