5) …in presuming no mitigation, ignores the law as passed by her own party, acknowledging that a disproportionate number of CSAM offenders have autism spectrum disorder, and ASD as mitigating
5) Lacks even a pretense of empathy (eg “we hope he receives the help he needs”)

3) Presumes guilt of the most serious charges, in an era when no crime is easier to overcharge & charge-stack than child porn
4) Presumes absence of mitigation when even prosecutors understand that most CSAM suspects have behavioral health diagnoses and/or a trauma history…

While I get why @SpanbergerForVA released a statement, I hope her comms team reconsiders its approach in the future, b/c this is outrageous. Here’s why:
1) Uses dehumanizing, Trumpian rhetoric.
2) Encourages a lynch mob-style denial of due process.

My Vera report from 2008 found residency restrictions don’t make communities safer. And most victims were known to the abuser. Nothing about these facts have changed since then vera-institute.files.svdcdn.…

On this #WrongfulConvictionDay, we remember the ten thousand Americans presently imprisoned for imaginary future crimes — every single one of them is actually innocent of what the state claims they *might* do in the future. #ShadowPrison
2 Oct 2024
It's #WrongfulConvictionDay - this year's theme is The Pursuit of Truth.
We stand with @InnocenceNtwrk, advocates & directly impacted people to raise awareness of the causes of wrongful conviction & the irreversible personal, social & emotional costs it has for innocent people.

And yes, that is what you are saying...You are saying BECAUSE Trump has felony convictions, he should be disqualified from politics...that logistics presumes the same to be true for EVERYONE with a felony conviction (millions of Americans)

So....I will say it again...DO BETTER DEMS...When you say Trump should be disqualified b/c of a felony conviction you are giving the thumbs up to discrimination and bothering MILLIONS and just to make political points...Not Okay

6. You are not really mad that Trump has felony convictions...You are mad that he is unrepentant, shows no remorse, and makes no amends...talk about that instead of suggesting that the MILLIONS of people with a felony conviction should be separated from politics and the body politic

5. If you participated or cared about George Floyd... but are now acting like disenfranchisement is earned, I think you have lost your way...this is NOT who Demicrats are supposed to be...this is not why we support this party

4. Don't tell me you are a Democrat who believes in defending voting rights in communities of color and suggest that you support "felons" being separated from the body politic...where do you think the vast majority of people in state prisons come from? Who do you think is disenfranchised?

3. We believe our rights are non-negotiable. We served our sentences and paid our debt...our rights are not conditional and subject to whim... You don't have to agree... but we will oppose this every time we hear it

2. Your best chance at public safety is someone returning from incarceration invested in the body politic, with pro-social dreams of contributing to their community..foreclosing this is a terrible reintegration strategy

Let me explain our opposition to the use of "felon" language in six parts
1. People are more than their worst moments, and when you make someone who committed a felony into a felon... it is dehumanizing and suggests that we are FOREVER second-class citizens.

Every year, corporations struggle to properly recognize Juneteenth. This year, demand that your favorite brands take a stand against prison slavery by endorsing the Abolition Amendment. Big shout out to @benandjerrys for being the first!

4/ Banishment is not how we should treat formerly incarcerated individuals.
The Constitution requires that people convicted of sexual offenses are not subjected to unnecessary and vague restrictions that curb their ability to reintegrate into society.

2/ "I have children and I want them to be safe too," said M.G., one of our plaintiffs. "However, SARA doesn’t protect anyone and only makes our lives unbearable. It prevents me from fully being with my family...With this lawsuit, I hope to end this nightmare."

1/ Research shows that banishment laws like SARA do not reduce recidivism, but instead make it impossible to obtain jobs, find housing, and become productive members of their communities.
Laws that undermine rehabilitation make our communities less safe, and must be abolished.

The @NYCLU just filed a federal class-action lawsuit seeking to overturn the Sexual Assault Reform Act, or SARA, which it call “vague, expansive, and unnecessary." thenation.com/article/archiv…
