Senate Judiciary Republicans just voted to advance the nomination of Justin Walker, a family friend of Senator McConnell and outspoken critic of the Affordable Care Act, to the 2nd highest court in the land. I spoke about my opposition to his nomination. https://t.co/KozeSAak6l — PolitiTweet.org

When we turn the key in the lock on the door of a prison or a detention facility, we put our collective knees on the necks of the most vulnerable people in America. The question is will we be listening to their pleas for life? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Is it any wonder that during the #COVID19 pandemic white inmates like the President’s campaign manager Paul Manafort & the President’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen are being transferred to home confinement while vulnerable inmates of color like Andrea High Bear languish & die? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We cannot discuss the issue of incarceration in America without considering the impact of racism. While the majority of illegal drug users and dealers in our country are white, the vast majority of people incarcerated for drug offenses are African American or Latino. https://t.co/NBXJXUVtAf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The heart of our democracy is at stake. Is our system of justice in America so infected by racism that it cannot function in a manner consistent w/our democratic values? Is our President mobilizing our military to suppress dissent in a manner inconsistent with the Constitution? https://t.co/iNiqFTR4C9 — PolitiTweet.org
