I've received a trove of leaked documents from within the King County Executive's Office claiming that the justice system is a "white supremacist institution" that must be dismantled.
It's explosive. 🧵
Next, they claim that the jails are designed as "a system of oppression based on race and built to maintain white supremacy." The plan to permanently shut down the jails is centered on the obligation to "isolate race" and "examine the presence and role of whiteness." pic.twitter.com/p49GHkY72U

In the attached glossary, the officials claim that whites uphold "the U.S. white supremacy system," "oppress People of Color," and have "unearned power and privileges associated with having white skin," which they call "Whiteism." pic.twitter.com/rhd3cn0t7P

The plan to close the jails is explicitly predicated on the idea that the "government [is] responsible for the problem" of crime and that criminal offenders are the true "rights holders" who must be "honor[ed] and celebrate[d]." pic.twitter.com/05h3PNzVMk

This is a plan emanating from the highest levels of county government, including the senior leadership of the Juvenile Division, County Courts, and the King County Executive's Office. They have embraced critical race theory as the operating philosophy behind "prison abolition."

It's time to push back: "abolishing the police" and "abolishing prisons" is wrong, dangerous, and insane. Our society's elites, professing the virtues of wokeness, will end up hurting the poorest and most vulnerable, who will immediately be victimized in their communities.

P.S. If you want to support more whistleblower reporting on critical race theory in government and the campaign to "abolish prisons," I hope you'll consider making a $5 or $10 monthly contribution. It's time to fight back.https://t.co/GpeTTG6wV4
