Alt text: a screenshot of a microblog post with the text “you walking down an alleyway with a gram of weed in your pocket, who would you rather catch you?” Below are two pictures side by side. One of Kamala Harris and the other of Batman.

    But what has she actually done to show any change? Lives are still ruined, they’re still being ruined every day. She hasn’t apologized, she hasn’t undone any harm, she hasn’t made progress on reparations to the communities she’s hurt. All she’s done is say “I changed” without actually changing anything.

    We don’t need to find anything else to insist she apologize for, she literally hasn’t apologized for anything. We’re asking her to take the first step and you’re mad that we would ask her to take a second.

      As a senator, Harris championed marijuana decriminalization and eventually legalization. She signed Senator Cory Booker’s marijuana legalization bill in 2017, and she also introduced her own bill to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.

      Is trying a first step, or does it require succeeding?

      Does that not count because it is attempting to prevent future convictions instead of magically overturning the convictions from when she was a prosecutor?
