Rape survivors, sex trafficking victims, & witnesses to violent crimes get arrested & jailed for failing to comply with subpoenas until they agree to comply.
“In 2015, a mother of three, was jailed for five days on a $100,000 bond bc the local district attorney obtained a warrant arguing that her detention was necessary to force her to testify against her ex-boyfriend, who was facing charges for abusing her.”motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
“In Hillsboro, Oregon, a Mexican immigrant was jailed for more than two years—nine hundred and five days—to obtain his testimony in a murder case.”newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

"He’s got soft-on-crime policy down to a fine art." 4 reporters" contributed to this low-brow snark of a hit piece filled w/ childish play-on-words letting cops fume about a new pre-trial diversion art program for the lowest level misdemeanor arrests. nypost.com/2019/10/02/new…
Some ridiculous gems from this pathetic article:

"The scheme — dubbed Project Reset — outraged cops, who say Brooklyn DA Gonzalez should go back to the drawing board."

"Gonzalez insisted the sketchy scheme makes the justice system 'fairer.'"
The "reporters" let random "police sources" go anonymous: "I’m honestly flabbergasted. You’re just giving the criminals all the power. What about victim’s rights? You steal from someone but bc it’s a low level crime we’re going to put you in an art class? It’s getting scary.”

10 years is an exceptionally long prison sentence. Even for the most egregious conduct. That’s all.
For anyone calling me “racist,” “sarcastic,” “cynical,” etc. for saying 10 years is a long time in prison even for this horrific murder, get to know my work. Values—decarceration & abolition among them—require consistency.
When we support pain, punishment, torture, harshness, long sentences for one-no matter how much we might despise them or think they "deserve it"-we further entrench an unjust system for all. “All” tends to be people I represent: Black & Latinx people from only certain communities

John Thompson. Spent 14 yrs on death row. Nearly killed. Exonerated. Started org to help exonerees. Won $14 million lawsuit. Going to donate to his org. New Orleans DA appealed. Supreme Court reversed award. He died 2 years ago. #WrongfulConvictionDay nytimes.com/2017/10/04/obi…
"John Thompson got to live 14 yrs as a free man-the same number he spent on Louisiana’s death row, condemned for a 1984 murder he didn’t commit.” Seven times Louisiana set a date for his execution. Despite prosecutor knowing *before his trial even began that he was innocent.
After release he focused on holding the prosecutors who tried for so long to kill him accountable, while helping other exonerees. Despite winning a $14 million suit-$1 million for each yr spent about to die-Clarence Thomas denied him a dime bc he found no "pattern of misconduct"

Remember when the democrats said Trump was lying about the human #trafficking occurring at the border? They said it was something he saw in a movie...
Why are Californian politicians so against securing our border?

side note - the first set of numbers in the original post are only through June 30, 2018. That means 2018 numbers likely were about the same as 2017 & 2016, as pictured above.

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?
