Paul Manafort is being sent to solitary confinement in my district - Rikers Island. A prison sentence is not a license for gov torture and human rights violations. That‘s what solitary confinement is. Manafort should be released, along with all people being held in solitary.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1135903633567113216 …

Replying to @AOC
If we say torture is acceptable for one person, we are saying it is acceptable. It *never* is. Period. Manafort's actions were vile, our response must not be. State-sanctioned torture always falls heaviest on those most oppressed: on poor people, on black and brown bodies.
