For the past 6 months the @RealJusticePAC has been preparing for this day in California.
We're supporting candidates for District Attorney & Sheriff up & down the state.
Two primary groups have worked tooth & nail against us.
One didn't surprise me. The other did.
A THREAD.

3. Now we weren't the least bit surprised by police unions & prison unions putting millions of dollars into these races. But seeing it up close has shown me how desperate some VERY powerful groups are to maintain and grow mass incarceration.

4. What surprised me, or at least stung me the most, up and down California was the painful realization that DEMOCRATS were either going to work against, or refuse to work for, the Democratic candidates for DA & Sheriff. It's a national scandal honestly.

5. In Sacramento, the current District Attorney is a lifelong conservative Republican. She refused to even attend the NAACP or ACLU debates & forums. She built a literal fence around her office after
#StephonClark was murdered. And is supported by almost every elected DemocratShow this thread -
6. In Sacramento, the Mayor is a Democrat, almost the entire City Council are Democrats, Hillary Clinton won the county over Donald Trump, but the locally elected Democratic leaders decided to stick with a truly horrible Republican. They don't want justice reform. That simple.

7. Alameda County has a HORRIBLE District Attorney. Nancy O'Malley literally had one of the worst scorecards on justice reform of any DA in California. Guess who is backing her? Lock, stock, and barrel. Local Democrats. Even
@KamalaHarris. Shocked the hell out of us.Show this thread

Sounds like using a bucket to try to save a sinking ship. The hole needs to be patched.

You are lying. George Soros support in more money than any of those law enforcement contributions can buy. But why should we expect you to be accurate.
