@thezararaven They filled up the jails & psych wards here before the NFL draft. The FBI came to town to do a superbowl type human trafficking sting, following the typical script in the press that they always do. Last weekend, cops violently shut down a cultural event.

This weekend, loved ones of survivors seeking clemency got together to write Mother's Day postcards to Gov. Hochul & the DAs who hold the keys to the prison cell and refuse to #FreeSurvivors.
We had a simple message: #FreeThemAll. Because @GovKathyHochul, we're watching.
