    NY's new bail law is about basic fairness. Keeping people locked up pretrial should be the exception but it has become the norm, resulting in loss of jobs, homes and coerced pleas. Lawmakers hold firm, no roll backs. Public safety fears are overblown

    This is essentially a penny for Bezos. We not only have a regressive tax system but a regressive fine structure that benefits the rich & harms the poor. I wish politicians here would embrace populist, Finland-style proportional fines based on wealth

    “In the month and four days that this law has been in place, we saw thousands of people have been arrested and processed, but we’re just hearing about six, seven, eight sensationalized stories,” Heastie said.

    Look at that sign: “Victims not criminals.” Truth: 73% of crime victims support ending pretrial detention for misdemeanors & non-violent felonies. This sea of white cops don’t speak for victims of crime. But they do weaponize their experience to perpetuate mass incarceration.

    My oped at : Trump's latest travel ban is discriminatory & will have a devastating impact on American families, as well as citizens of the affected countries. Congress should pass the "NO BAN Act"

    New Discriminatory Travel Ban: "The impact of this latest ban on citizens of these countries will be severe. But what the American public may not realize is that the ban will also result in family separations for Americans."

    OP-ED: In today's we tell the TRUTH on in Onondaga County. For decades, money bail has criminalized poverty. Now, we have a chance to invest in communities, making our county safer, fairer, and more just. READ it here:

    Cop convicted of planting crack on innocent couple. Given probation. Judge “swayed by how he lost his job, pension, & health.” In other words, the same consequences for people I represent jailed on bail *before conviction* that no judge ever cares about.

    Every attempt by the to rehabilitate its image among Black viewers will ring hollow as long as Kaepernick is still unsigned to an NFL team. You cannot co-opt his message and blackball him at the same time.

    Amy Klobuchar has talked up her role prosecuting the case of a little girl struck by a stray bullet. But what if the black teen sentenced to life in prison was innocent? Year-long investigation has uncovered new evidence and myriad inconsistencies.

    New York ended cash bail for most low-level offenses, which will improve fairness & community safety. But prosecutors and police are stoking fear to try to defeat bail reform. Call NY lawmakers and ask them to oppose efforts to rollback this new law.

    STATEMENT: We - and Jewish communities across the state - support bail reform. We are outraged by AG Barr and the Trump administration's attempt to use Jewish communities as political pawns. Tiffany Harris needs mental health support, not jail or money bail.

    This is appalling. Even the victim doesn’t want this woman to get bail. “I’ve been dismayed to watch politicians exploit what happened, to use it against bail reform,” she said. “I want [Harris] to get treatment and not be subject to money bail.”

    NY’s has my full support & gives me hope that other states will enact similarly transformative policies that make the system safer and fairer for all. stand strong against calls for rollback.
