    I work directly w/ 100s of families affected by injustice in America. As much as I loathe Donald Trump & Jeff Sessions - if I thought either of those men could help or pardon someone I'm working with - meeting with them must be on the table. Some things can't wait until 2020.

        I refuse to have the policy of only working with Democrats on essential criminal justice issues. They helped build and maintain the system too. Read "Locking Up Our Own" (which just won the Pulitzer Prize) by @JFormanJr to get an honest perspective here.

        I think it's fundamentally ridiculous that Kim Kardashian is the person meeting with Trump on criminal justice issues when actual experts exist. However, if she can help secure a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson, then it's a good thing. Obama should've pardoned her.

        It's clear Trump only cares about reality TV and if Kim has any sway to get him to release someone from prison why do we care who she is/ what she's done? Prison reform needs to happen. Why don't we want everyone trying to make that happen?

        #AmericaDeservesBetter How can two of America’s lying crooks (Trump & Sessions) be fair to anyone? You see the two are at odds with one another. Divided houses will always fall.

        Trump got what he wanted. Not sentencing reform but a photo-op with a pop icon he hopes will translate into support. Trump may pardon Alice Johnson since its Mrs. Kanye asking but it won't lead to any reforms, just another photo-op. 🎆Imagine the ratings🎆 That's all he wants.

        We need to consider all the POC who got duped by Trump and his surrogates into thinking he would provide resources to the community. They lied. He pardoned Arpaio and Libbey. Oh and Jack Johnson posthumously. But no community investment. Not HBCUs, nothing.

        Who cares? At least she is trying and will (most likely) make it happen. Don’t be a hater.

        For sure. I would trust you in the defense of those people than a celebrity with little to no contact with people in those situations.

        Is not about Repubs or Dems. This administration is fundamentally dishonest and can't be trusted to reform any institution in a manner that benefits Black and Brown folks. In addition to Formans' work, Naomi Murakwas' book is also great.https://books.google.com/books/about/The_First_Civil_Right.html?id=AK_DAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button …

        It's the willingness to work with someone so fundamentally dishonest that I find troubling. In order to reach agreement both parties must be good faith actors. Is there anything in Mr. Trump's personal, business, or political life that illustrates that he is a good faith actor?

        The point isn’t about working with a Republican, Democrat or a Corrupt, bigot/racist/eugenics, Sexual Predator. The piont is to look at the bigger picture & not be used a photo op for foolishness. Love of Money is the Root of Evil.
