Donald Trump. Famous racist. Fascist.
White supremacist. Who is in large part responsible for the rise of mass incarceration through his own fearmongering. And who still won’t acknowledge the Central Park 5 are innocent. Opposes bail reform:

The Trump-supporting @GOP Congressional candidate, Nicole Malliotakis, is the leading NY voice against bail reform.
Why? Shes seen how racist divisiveness has helped her icon solidify power. She doesn’t care about the issue. Safety or victims. She cares about winning. No more.

The NY @GOP, angry that they lost control over the NY legislature opposes bail reform.
Why? They see it as their way to take back power. Their 2 spokespeople refuse to delete lies by Long Island police & prosecutors exploiting a tragic murder days after they were debunked.

Bailbonds companies oppose bail reform. An $18 billion lobbying force for incarceration because the predatory industry literally profits off of the jailing of Black & Brown people.
Here’s a bailbondsman trolling me for pointing out reform helps people stay w/ their families.

Bill Barr. The architect of mass incarceration & now protector of a tyrant. Opposes bail reform so much, his federal prosecutors broke into New York to snatch a poor Black woman w/ mental illness from the hospital so he could jail her pretrial against the will of the victims.
Bill Bratton. The creator of the irrational, racist, costly, & ineffective crisis of mass incarceration that modest reforms in NYC (no bail for misdemeanors & nonviolent felonies) aims to put a dent in. Now he’s using the same fear tactics he used to create it to perpetuate it.
Fox & Friends opposes bail reform in NY. A police chief on Long Island was forced to retract his lie that a witness was killed because of criminal justice reforms once confronted with facts.
The next day: Fox & Friends peddled the same debunked lie to a national audience.
