Holy shit, this ad! I cannot imagine the impetus for pardoning this guy. But I’m not even sure it matters. Kind of along the lines of that Roger Marshall ad. If you’re explaining you’re losing.

The fact that Trump, his party, and the Republican Congress are historically unpopular and yet we still can’t be sure Democrats will win in November tells you everything about how broken both our electoral system and our political system are.

The carceral system is a traumatic and deadly place — and it's only gotten worse in recent decades. From 2001 to 2019, deaths by suicide increased in state prisons by 85%. Incarceration is a mental health crisis.
Graph showing that suicide rates in prisons have always been higher than the general U.S. population, and the gap is widening. In 2001, it was 14 per 100,000 people vs. 10.4. In 2019, it was 26 vs. 14.2.

See this chart? Workers’ share of the nation’s income is at the lowest it’s been since records began in 1947. Corporate profits’ share, on the other hand, is the highest it’s been since 1950. This is why we must build back worker power.
