My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

This is the greatest news, I’m so incredibly happy for you! I worked with David on the AIDS Peer Education program at Great Meadow and he’s one of the best humans I’ve ever met. All the best to your family

Replying to @Donnelly2Barb @chesaboudin
The responses to this supportive note are emblematic of what’s broken in our society. The inappropriate and uninformed rage of people who have never met David levied against someone who’s opinion is based on actual experience, knowledge and fact. 1/3

David is good person who did a bad thing. He accepted responsibility for it and paid for his choices with his ENTIRE adult life. To continue to punish him for performative political purposes is cruel and counterproductive and sadly on brand. The system worked - take the win. 3/3
