I spent over 40 minutes on the phone with the author of this article, talking somewhat incessantly about the housing crisis in BTV and our failure to meet many folks basic needs. Quite astounded that it is not mentioned once in the entire article. Not once.

Not a single mention of the cost of living of Burlington or the housing crises we face right now. I am so exhausted of this narrative focused on crime here and not on the underlying issues.

Guy next to me on plane saw Narcan in my bag: “Is that for u or in case someone else on plane needs it?” “The latter.” “Must be a nurse?” “Nope, prosecutor.” “😳...Realized after I said that, that u could be a Dr, & I shouldn’t assume nurse...never expected a prosecutor!”

Once a month court is closed for an afternoon. Between this month and next, everyone in my office will spend those afternoons in the St Albans facility. Most prosecutors have never stepped foot in the buildings that they sentence people to spend years in. That needs to change.

Dont get outraged by the call to “defund police” if you sat by & said nothing when decisions were made to defund education, mental health services, substance use services, healthcare, and affordable housing. Sufficiently funding all of the latter = defunding police.

I cannot stress enough how this would this change criminal public service. Those who work several jobs to pay student loans might stay in these important jobs, rather than leaving 4 private sector. Dedicated public service should be rewarded w/ better pay & less crippling debt.

Student loan debt is crushing students. My new proposal is about opportunity for everyone. Let’s cancel student loan debt for about 95% of Americans, make college universally available, and invest more in Pell Grants and HBCUs. And we’ll pay for it with my #UltraMillionaireTax .

something big in Michigan: right now, the incumbent prosecutors of the two biggest counties (Wayne/Detroit and Oakland) are trailing more progressive challengers in Dem primaries. And in the open race in Washtenaw Co. (that's Ann Arbor), the most progressive is still ahead.

More laws is literally the last thing we need....especially as it relates to poverty and homelessness. These are human beings. Advocating for additional ways to criminalize them is incredibly shortsighted, illogical, and counterproductive. Please stop.

Several dozen Church Street Marketplace merchants are asking state lawmakers to put more teeth in anti-loitering and other laws, saying that misbehavior is escalating and the existing rules aren’t enough of a deterrent. #btv

The shooting last night in #BTV of three Palestinian students is atrocious & heartbreaking. Sending so much strength to each of them. This is an ongoing investigation and my office is working with law enforcement to find the person responsible and hold them accountable.

I am just beaming with pride. As a woman, as a soccer player, and as a community member...these girls are our future and I feel so good about that fact. Nice work @maiavota and the rest of the ladies on the @BHS802 team! Keep it up!!! 🥰🤩🙌🏼 #TheFutureisFemale #EqualPay

A Vermont high school girls soccer team received a penalty for unsportsmanshiplike conduct for ‘equal pay’ T-shirts after the girls removed their uniform tops to reveal them during a game. @KayleeHartung has the story.

Having @VTCORRECTIONS call into court hearings and adamantly object to people going through treatment court and instead advocate for them to stay in jail (and not receive treatment) is getting really old.

Signing expungement petitions for individuals in our community whose convictions no longer serve any interest of justice, is one of the best parts of my job. These individuals deserve a fresh start. ⚖️

If lawyers do not have to respond to hypotheticals then I have a HUGE bone to pick with my law school.... and the bar exam... and every Judge who requires me to respond to hypotheticals when arguing EVERY SINGLE CASE IN COURT! 🤬 #AmyConeyBarrettHearing

All day I have struggled w/ putting into words how absolutely disgusted & infuriated I am w/ all of this. I am so tired of this sexist, racist, classist, bullsh*t. Exhausted. But now is not the time to complain, it’s the time to organize, fight, & defend our bodies. Let’s do it.

Vermont needs to revisit past sentences doled out in the 80s and 90s under the guise of public safety. We know now that longer sentences do not mean safer communities, and we must act on that knowledge. Justice is about looking back as much as it’s about moving forward.

Decades-long sentences have wasted $$, destroyed communities & not furthered public safety. A new generation of prosecutors are taking a 2nd look at excessive sentences & embracing 2nd chances. Check out FJP’s new video & see the full video here:

Calling on my 3 biggest critics to join me for coffee. I may not change your mind on my public safety approach, but at least your opinion will be based on more than what you see in the media (including social media). 1. @BTV_GOP 2. @mcgert_bert 3. @UrOrwellianLife Deal?

One of our favorite parts about election night was ordering food and beverages from three of my favorite local businesses. ✊🏼 First, we had empanadas, wings, and esquites from the one and only Maria at Cafe Mamajuana 🌽❤️

I try desperately to express how much underlying pain and trauma is involved in criminal behavior, and I feel like it’s still lost on people. Tonight, @dr_yusefsalaam said “Hurt people hurt people”.... and that’s it. It’s that simple. Four words. Hurt people hurt people.

I have been a prosecutor for nearly 12 years & have worked to hold people accountable, while highlighting the systemic failures & racial disparities in VT. I’m asking for your vote so we can continue working towards a more just & fair system for all. Let’s do this ✊🏼

This. I really hope that @VTCORRECTIONS is looking at their population to figure out who can be released immediately. Also hope they are leaving people in the community despite possible ROMs or technical violations. #Covid_19 Also though: let’s just do this all the time. ⚖️

Prisons and jails are incubators of infectious diseases. During this time of crisis, our leaders should consider granting compassionate release to elderly and vulnerable incarcerated people and look at community-based alternatives to incarceration in all cases. #COVID19

Not sure I have ever related more to a tweet in my entire Twitter-life 🔥 When folks ask how I deal w/ all the trolling & pushback, my answer is always that I’ve dealt w/ worse as a waitress. Restaurant work is (hands down) the best training for reform politics there is. 💁🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍💼

Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling
