Under the money bond system, the state takes millions of dollars from marginalized communities each year in exchange for their loved ones freedom.

Often times, that money never comes back but even when it does, it's often months after their case ended.

“Stimson and Smith’s opinion piece is just that — their opinion. It is not informed by fact, logic or evidence, and it makes incredibly lazy arguments about the causes of violence in Chicago, a complex issue that has various confounding causes…” https://t.co/O0kMcjtHKf

Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune published a column by Paul Vallas that is riddled with misinformation, contradictions, and includes several harmful inaccuracies.

Since they didn't fact-check the author's argument, we will. 🧵👉
