There's right wing misinformation going around that Kamala Harris prosecuted over 1900 cases of misdemeanor drug possession charges during her seven years as a DA - sending those people to jail.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

she oversaw roughly that many cases, but ONLY 45 saw jail time, and since 2018 she's been a campaigner against the laws that jail people for minor possession charges. Convictions for such crimes drastically dropped during her time there.

I know the left always complains that the right don't check sources - but frankly no one does. So do better, and do basic research before spreading any information thoughtlessly. GET THE FACTS!
