I've said it before. There are ways that I'm VERY far left. I don't want to defund the police and prison system. I want to yeet them into the sun and start over from scratch.

I think any policy short of abolition is short minded, deeply rooted in (often unintentional) racialized or racist thinking and frankly disqualifying from even allowing one a place at the table to discuss it.

But you can't find me talking like that in my timeline, can you? Why? Because it DOESN'T WORK.
