THREAD: One week ago Justice Kavanaugh (left) ruled 100s still imprisoned by an Oregon law even he admitted was "rooted in racism" were out of luck bc they were convicted too long ago. Oregon's "progressive" AG Ellen Rosenblum (right) could fix this injustice today. Refuses to.

Chauvin is the part of the iceberg above the water. Whether or not he falls doesn’t change the fact the system that buoyed him must be dismantled.

Voter suppression should never be measured in the aggregate. That’s typically an indication of autocracy. 21st cen. voter suppression targets certain communities to disenfranchise while obfuscating intent. More simply put: more people in the water doesn’t mean fewer sharks.
Staggering turnout. Not exactly voter suppression in the aggregate.
