Most Americans don't understand how #prohibition works https://www.axios.com/2023/02/03/most-americans-tobacco-ban "The majority of Americans (57%) support a ban on the sale of all #tobacco products and even more support blocking sales of #menthol #cigarettes [favored by Black people] (62%), a CDC study ... found." Not mentioned: how much more policing and jail capacity would be needed to enforce it. Americans have forgotten how cops killed #EricGarner for selling loose cigarettes.

i can guarantee ANY #birdsite conversation about #tyrenichols will include more than 1 comment asking "why didn't he comply?" Or "was he on drugs?" or other statement made after deaths of #GeorgeFloyd #ericgarner #freddiegray. & those who would ask that lack basic humanity to picture themselves in that situation. If a cop yanked you out of your car & you hadn't done anything, you don't think you would ask "why?" & not immediately lay on the ground? #twittermigration

If there was only one thing I could leave behind, it would be the changed perspective, the deeper self-awareness, the cognitive-diss filters removed, that happens after years of looking at the US from outside, to my fellow Americans.
Fix it. Now.

7 years ago, on July 17, 2014, #EricGarner was choked to death by the NYPD. RIP. Never forget.
De Blasio's former staffers just knocked it out of the park with this call for solid first-step reforms and actions. They're definitely not abolitionists, but if he can't even meet these demands it will show the type of person he is (or, maybe, the threat of violence he and his family is facing from the cops?).

It's been almost 5 years since my son was killed by #NYPD Officer Pantaleo and many other officers and they're still on the force. 50-a is being used to protect them. That's why we need to #Repeal50a this session.- Gwen Carr/mother of #EricGarner
