I’ll start saving now.
When I visited the United States Holocaust Museum for the first time, I was struck deeply by one wall with absolutely nothing on it, except for this quote:
“Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”
Hitler often used it to cite how history would forget about his “final solution”, as they didn’t remember the Armenian genocide, did they?
My family is in America for the sole reason that the first Armenian genocide drove them out. My grandmother knows nothing of what happened to her cousins and aunts and uncles, and still, to this day, the Armenian genocide is not recognized by Turkey.
It’s happening again. The Azerbaijan and Armenian conflict over Artsakh, an area that Azerbaijan claims is theirs, but is inhabited heavily by Armenians, has been restarted, and the people living there are in serious danger, as Turkey is now lending their military aid to Azerbaijan as well, while the rest of the world is turned the other way.
I know we’re all so fatigued from the shitshow that has been 2020, and how difficult it can be to comprehend yet another tragedy, but if you have a moment, please just educate yourself on what’s happening in Armenia and Artsakh, educate a friend, and take a look at the some of the resources I’ll link below, I would be so grateful. Don’t let history annihilate my people again.

Get to know Kamala Harris
- Supported a law that forced schools to turn undocumented students over to ICE
- Laughed about putting parents in jail if their kids missed school, disproportionately harming single parent households, the poor, and families of color. Regrets her decision
- Her office refused to address what the Supreme Court calls “unconstitutionally overcrowded” prisons specifically to perpetuate the exploitation of the mass incarcerated for slave labor close to $1/hour (she later claimed she didn’t know her own lawyers argued this.
- Declined to prosecute Steven Mnuchin after his bank’s predatory lending and foreclosure fraud broke the law “over a thousand” times and ruined the lives of thousands of homeowners, keeping him free to donate to her campaign and become Trump’s Treasury Secretary
- Opposed taking cannabis off DEA’s list of most dangerous substances and literally laughing at the idea of legalizing it multiple times, even as her Republican opponent ran to the left of her on the issue. She then tried to pander by admitting to smoking herself despite prosecuting others, but got her story all wrong
- Used a technicality to stop the release of a man serving 27 years-to-life after being wrongfully convicted of possession of a knife under the three-strikes law she supported. When civil rights groups and nearly 100,000 petition signatures got him released after 14 years she took him back to court again for a crime he didn’t commit
- Opposed reforming California’s three-strikes law, which is the only one in the country to impose life sentences for minor felonies and incarcerates black people at 12x the rate as white people, three different times, even while her Republican opponent supported reform

- When evidence pointed towards a black defendant being framed by police, Harris avoided DNA testing to keep him on death row
- Protected serial child rapists by refusing to prosecute in the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal
- Lied about her state’s solitary confinement to block a suit by inmates, claiming there was none in California when there were about 6,400 victims of the practice, which is considered torture
- Oversaw a state prosecutor falsifying a confession to get a life sentence and then destroyed the evidence, upheld a conviction secured by a prosecutor lying under oath, and oversaw the framing of another man
- Opposed legislation that would require independent investigation of fatal police shootings despite criticism from many civil rights advocates including California’s Legislative Black Caucus
- Opposed statewide implementation of police body cameras and ignored police brutality, multiple officers raping a teenager, and other officers sharing racist and homophobic messages, despite multiple requests from the public defender
- Refused to hand over the names of police whose testimonies led to convictions despite the officers’ arrest records and past misconduct
- Tried to deny a transgender inmate healthcare and endangered trans women by forcing them into mens prisons, leading to the rape and torture of at least one trans inmate
- Stood by silently as $730 million was spent on moving inmates to for-profit private prisons
- Delayed the confiscation of illegal firearms from dangerous people, then posed a “continued risk to public safety” by failing to implement changes state auditors recommended to fix this despite receiving $24 million specifically for this purpose
- Voted two different times to block federal funding for abortions
- Following the foreclosure fraud scandal she negotiated a deal great for banks but bad for the ruined homeowners, becoming one of Wall Street’s favorite candidates to fundraise for
- Voted to give Trump increased military spending two different times.
- Supports Trump escalating war in Syria
- Co-sponsored the bill that let Trump impose sanctions on Iran which violated the nuclear deal and lead to the currently rising tensions
- “Systematically violated defendants’ civil and constitutional rights” in crime lab scandal
- Kept her Orange County DA office from being charged for running an unconstitutional jailhouse informant program they tried to cover up.

- As part of her tough on crime approach she assigned senior prosecutors to misdemeanors like graffiti and vandalism, tripling the number of cases brought to trial
- Dismisses the plea to “build more schools, less jails” as “good in theory” but law enforcement is essential to public safety
- Supports the controversial DNA search technique that can be used on people even if they’ve not been charged with a crime
- Only recently (2016) did she oppose the discriminatory practice of cash bail in court
- Supports Israel’s right-wing government and cozies up to AIPAC, co-sponsored resolution against Obama in support of illegal settlements, does not support Palestinian rights, and calls BDS “anti-semitic”
- Sponsored a bill allowing for prosecutors to seize profits before charges are even filed and opposed a bill that would reform civil asset forfeiture
- Defended a prison’s religious discrimination in hiring policy
- Worked on behalf of then-CA governor Jerry Brown to oppose tribal land-into-trust applications and tried to take reservation land away from a tribe just to keep them from evicting a non-indigenous man who had lived there without paying rent for 24 years
- Refused to review a case in which a pharmaceutical CEO killed his wife but made it look like a suicide after their son died under mysterious circumstances as well
- Refused to prosecute PG&E for its massive gas pipeline explosion and its consultants are ran her campaign
- Did not properly investigate the San Onofre scandal to protect her political allies
- Refused to investigate Herbalife’s exploitation and fraud, receiving donations from people connected to the corporation
- Opposed legalization of sex work, endangered sex workers
