you've probably seen the #PhoenixPD video terrorizing a Black family at gunpoint because a small child supposedly took a doll. of course, the police response is to embellish what they were told, as if shoplifting some cheap shit from a discount store warrants SWAT tactics.
the slow-motion militarization of the police over the last five decades hasn't made anybody safer. if u give law enforcement agencies already drunk with power surplus military equipment, they'll manufacture reasons 2 use their new toys & they'll kill some people 4 shits & giggles

Let's talk about sex work in San Francisco & those who engage in it. #KamalaHarris is apparently solely responsible 4 the dangers sex workers face by cracking down on Backpage .com, a site also used by violent thugs 2 traffic children & adults against their will.
sex workers found backpage a convenient platform to advertise their services safely. the problem is that sex traffickers of children and adults also found it convenient. given the choice who to please, law enforcement will choose to stop violent traffickers every time.

FYI: Dragging #MaggieHaberman is not about pettiness, it's about the accumulation of privilege, nepotism & the multitude of familial connections that gave her access 2 Trump, & the hidden PR empire her mother works 4 that has been cleaning up Trump/Kushner shit with spin 4 years.
Both of #MaggieHaberman's parents were journalists. Both are aware of Trump's mob ties because they either covered it personally (Daddy) or were paid to spin it away with bullshit (Mama) as a high-powered PR Exec. Moreover, Maggie has covered Trump long enough to know.
