The Pretrial Success Grants Program has provided essential support for people awaiting trial but new funding is not currently in the state budget.
Take Action To Save This Vital Program: https://t.co/5soATdDTOw
The insistence by some to blame every act of violence on the Pretrial Fairness Act is not only a callous capitalization on someone else’s suffering, it's a distraction from honest efforts to improve community safety.

Un día después de que llamaran a Puerto Rico “una isla repleta de basura” salí corriendo a votar.
Le recuerdo a todos mis compatriotas que el día nacional de recogido de basura es el 5 de noviembre.
TWEEPS: trump threatens our Democracy.
Kamala Harris DEFENDS it.
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #KamalaDefendsDemocracy to get it trending for Kamala's speech tonight?
Please and thank you! 🙏💪
Stop using Puerto Ricans as a distraction. The bar is so slow that we’ve spent two days talking about who thinks we’re trash & who thinks we’re “talented Americans.”
Call me when we’re ready to discuss how both parties have exploited their colony to serve US corporate interests.
No matter your political party, you have to admit that Kamala Harris is the ONLY presidential candidate who is NOT a convicted felon, and the only one who looks, sounds, and ACTS Presidential.
She's pledged to have Republicans in her cabinet.
She is the ONLY candidate who has plans to have Medicare cover the cost of long term home care for our seniors. That's HUGE.
She has ACTUAL plans, as opposed to "concepts" of a plan.
She said she will be President for ALL Americans, as opposed to the guy who wants to lock up anyone who opposed him.
Kamala is fighting for FREEDOM.
Kamala is fighting for democracy.
She will be our next President. 🇺🇸
Yeah, right.
Now they’re all conveniently deaf, all of a sudden.
Well, every Puerto Rican and every one of their friends heard it. Come November 5th, Trump is going to hear us loud & clear.
White privilege is...
Being convicted of 34 felonies and wypipo not considering you a criminal
Being accused of raping 26 women and wypipo not considering you a rapist
Telling 30,000 lies and wypipo not considering you a liar
Hanging out with a convicted child sex trafficker and underage girls and wypipo not considering you a pedophile
Paying porn actresses for sex and bragging about grabbing women by the vagina and wypipo not considering you a sexual predator
Hating, disrespecting, and discriminating against Black people, Latinos, and other non whites and wypipo not considering you a racist
All of the above and more and white evangelicals considering your a Christian of high moral character and "God's Chosen"
All of the above and more and most wypipo supporting you for POTUS
Chicago's Puerto Rican community is furious about a joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally about the U.S. territory being an "island of garbage." https://t.co/zHK5YHvF35
I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.
I remember what it was like when Trump was president.
I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...
I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.
I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”
But I was not surprised..
Because I ALSO remember… he launched his campaign by calling Latinos criminals and rapists.
He’s told us what he’ll do.
He'll separate children from their families and threatened to use the ARMY to do it
This election goes way beyond political parties.
Now let’s remember what the United States represents and stands for. It’s our name - United.
Regardless of where we’re from.
I’m Marc Anthony…
I remember…
And that’s why I support Kamala Harris for President
The British purchased 4 million Africans. 1 million died in the Middle Passage. 3 million were sold into slavery.
The British held slaves in England and Wales, colonized over 30% of the world, was responsible for the murder and deaths of 56 million people, looted and raped Africa and India for over $100 trillion in resources. They were barbaric invaders that enslaved, murdered, brutalized, dehumanized, and colonized Black people and other non-white people across the globe.
To hell with you melanin deficient prevaricators and your ahistorical remix, painting a nation with the blood of tens of millions of people across generations on its hands as a “force for good.”
Black men are the backbone of the men of the Democratic Party.
Black men’s needs deserve to be taken up by the Democratic Party.
That’s not radical, that’s rational.
They don’t care about their daughters as much as they do their husbands, fathers, sons and grandfathers. The majority of white women wouldn’t even vote for Hilary Clinton. Why on Earth would the majority of them vote for Kamala Harris? We can play dumb about the attractiveness of the racism, but it’s far more enticing than the idea of standing with other women. Every single time, the majority of white women will be loyal to upholding skin privilege.
