Shame on you. https://t.co/s9y7h2Tf2q
RT @davidminpdx: 14. Again, if there are more allegations of specific corruption or pay-for-play, then of course go ahead and criticize the pardon. (Though do so, recognizing thae broader context/role that money plays in absolutely every aspect of our political life.)
RT @davidminpdx: 13. In fact that happens all the time, but tragically during the era of mass incarceration we are so stuck in our position of anger and vengeance that we wildly over punish people and then have refused to consider their transformation and rehabilitation.
RT @davidminpdx: 12. It may be that the crimes committed were serious. But that alone says nothing about the legitimacy of the pardon. It may be that someone committed an awful crime *and that person may be over-punished or become rehabilitated.
RT @davidminpdx: 10. I see people objecting to Governor Bevin’s use of the pardon power in a case of a man with an innocence claim, where prosecutors opposed DNA testing, where the guy has already served 25 years. I mean that is precisely the kind of situation the pardon power was made for!
RT @davidminpdx: 9. And it was not at all unusual — in fact it was quite common — for people who had committed the most serious crimes, including murder and rape, to get commutations. Prior to the era of mass incarceration, the pardon power was thought to be a core function of the executive.
RT @davidminpdx: 8. And the pardon power used to be used MUCH MUCH more frequently than it is today — even when the criminal justice system was a tiny fraction of its current size. Governors used to use it all the tine, 100s, even 1000s of times throughout their time in office.
RT @davidminpdx: 6. The framers of the constitution and of many state constitutions recognized the inherent tendency of the criminal justice system to over-punish and make mistakes. They created the pardon power as a check on those foibles of the human condition.
RT @davidminpdx: 4. I see many reporters for outlets like @TPM and @slate and local papers writing articles suggesting that the single apparently illegitimate pardon taints the whole lot. And as evidence they cite the fact that some were pardoned for apparently serious crimes like rape/murder.

RT @GunnelsWarren: New Rule: Every Member of Congress who voted to give the most corrupt, unhinged & unstable president in history $738 billion to fight endless wars, fund a bogus space force & put our troops at risk must never tell us that we cannot afford #MedicareForAll or a #GreenNewDeal. Ever.

RT @RevDrBarber: No only is @mrdannyglover in new movie—& old movies like Lethal Weapon—he’s also a citizen & human rights activist who has joined the team to help build the #PoorPeoplesCampaign toward Mass Assembly & Moral March on Washington, June 20, 2020.

To the people using fear and mistruths to preserve the status quo, you will not win. New York must enact these historic reforms AS IS on January 1st. Thank you to all of our leaders who are holding the line. People all around the country are watching. https://t.co/ommB3y7KTt
RT @pamelacolloff: An extraordinary editorial by an ex-prosecutor in Florida: “I urge Gov. Ron DeSantis to grant executive clemency to James Dailey and not to execute a man who was convicted and sentenced to death on the basis of unreliable jailhouse informant testimony.” https://t.co/MiI7YY58fO

Kim Ogg wants to hire more prosecutors when DAs should be focused on decreasing the amount of people who go through the legal system. That’s why @AudiaForDA will not prosecute drug possession or other offenses that target poverty. Join the movement now: https://t.co/d6nSJ6TGfI https://t.co/0EImK4vTzO

RT @wendellpotter: In fairness, I can understand why Pete might try to minimize his role now, and make it seem like he was learning how to do spreadsheets. But trust me from experience, McKinsey is expensive, and hires Rhodes Scholars and Harvard grads like Pete for their brains and opinions. (3/7)
RT @wendellpotter: I see Pete describes his work there as just math. In a way, this is true. @BCBSM had a math problem: profits were down, and needed to go up. That’s when firms like BCBS and my old one bring in “whiz kids” like Pete to decide how high to raise rates and how many jobs to cut. (2/7)
RT @wendellpotter: It brings me no joy that my hunch that @petebuttigieg advised Blue Cross Blue Shield in the run-up to layoffs and rate hikes, was revealed to be right. Campaign spin aside, as a former insurance exec I know what that work really entails, and it is devastating. (1/7) https://t.co/kPxx3xBoWi
RT @wendellpotter: The bottom line (that I know too well as a former health insurance exec) is this: The current system is built to deny people medical care and sock them with huge bills. Pete's health care plan protects this system. Now we have a clearer understanding of why. (7/7)
RT @wendellpotter: Pete says he didn’t work on stuff he “had a problem with.” Like Pete, I also worked for an insurer and turned a blind eye to the real world effects. Eventually I had a problem with a lot of it. It’s hard not to when your job includes denying care to Americans who need it most 6/7
RT @wendellpotter: Some context on the “it was only three months” talking point: Consulting is, by nature, temporary work. Often my insurance company would hire McKinsey for special projects to cut jobs and raise rates, that didn’t take very long. (5/7)
RT @wendellpotter: To really understand this work, and the climate in which it occurred, you might review this report from the Michigan AG in 2007. It’s called “Profits over People: The Drive to Privatize and Destroy the Social Mission of Blue Cross and Blue Shield” (4/7) https://t.co/kXZqH1OdRZ

RT @Taniel: Wow. McKinsey rigged a program & manipulated data to make it look like it was improving conditions & reducing violence on Rikers Island, but it was bogus. It also convinced NY to spend "millions on sorts of advanced data analytics" that didn't work well. https://t.co/6y9SV4Rc6M
