I was deeply encouraged by my time with Bernie last week. He learned a lot from his 2016 campaign. He was also deeply touched by the death of Erica Garner. No activist fought more for him than her.https://theintercept.com/2018/06/14/bernie-sanders-criminal-justice-reform/ …

Also, it was clear to me that Bernie was deeply encouraged from the time he spent with Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner. Bernie told me explicitly he hopes to help elect DAs nationwide that can change the game like Larry is doing.https://theintercept.com/2018/06/14/bernie-sanders-criminal-justice-reform/ …

Next blind spot: the people who did bad things. Mass incarceration is mainly driven by *violent crime. Until we face up to that mass incarceration will never end. You should go take Bernie to visit lifers. Maybe at Graterford. Or Angola. Or else with this guy Shaka in Cali.

@BernieSanders let’s do this with@ShakaSenghor. -
Go do it. I promise. You will be transformed. Single most important experience you can have to understand mass incarceration.

If only you showed this sort of compassion and understanding towards Hillary, we might not have Trump as POTUS.

You took the words right out of my mouth. She's not perfect. She was faithfully addressing some blind spots. Oh, wait.. that's right- she's a woman...

Yeah it’s not like she supported the disastrous crime bill or refered to young blacks as “super predators”

That propaganda is so 2016.

I even forgot about the “bring them to heel” part https://youtu.be/j0uCrA7ePno

I’m not sure how Bernie referring in the broadest terms that some people are total sociopaths and do belong in prison in the same league as using the term “super predator” (word created to refer to young mostly black Americans) and “bring them to heel”
