Time for the latest dumb thing said by Ocasio-Cortez the bartender. Now she wants to get rid of all prisons, because jailing someone for murder, extortion or terrorism is like Jim Crowe and slavery or something.

Mass incarceration is our American reality. It is a system whose logic evolved from the same lineage as Jim Crow, American apartheid, & slavery.
To end it, we have to change.
That means we need to have a real conversation about decarceration & prison abolition in this country. https://t.co/9E9NTAmBNi

Then the dumb bartender went on a rant about drinking out of the toilet (remember that lie about ICE detention centers) and a “cage is a cage”. Basically it’s the same Ocasio-Cortez talking points. Instead of using them against ICE and illegal aliens, it’s not being used on prisons.
Yesterday morning I spoke with a woman who was thrown in Rikers as a teenager. Put in solitary confinement for MONTHS, aka torture. Force-fed pills.
The conditions were so bad, she too had drank out of toilets.
A cage is a cage is a cage. And humans don’t belong in them.
