UNSAFE: S. Lamble and Dean Spade on the Anti-#Trans #Backlash
Mon Aug 10, 2026 2:00 PM EDT 7 PM BST #Online launching #book Unsafe: the #Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash https://events.haymarketbooks.org/events/haymarketbooks/2302749 -
Happy #EHRC guidance goes live day to all my disobedient #trans siblings here on #terfIsland.
Citing reasonable concerns, hypotheticals and outliers, ‘gender critics’ used money, influence, and the courts to create a permission structure to exclude us from gendered spaces.
The only people who will actually use it, already had lots of ways to make us unwelcome. Their bullshit is priced in to our lives already and so in a sense nothing has changed.
That still leaves trans people in trouble, in #carceral spaces, in the #nhs, in #school and #endOfLife, and in finding #work. Oh and #sports, if you could ever access them in the first place.
You know what none of us are going to do, though? #exclude ourselves from our lives as they are now, just because a handful of judges decided that a sixteen year old equality law, that protected us, was actually a bathroom ban all along.
We’re also going to seize their ‘third spaces’ rhetoric for our #nonBinary peeps and get on with ending all this gender nonsense!

Why do #ConcentrationCamps turn into #extermination projects? Because #fash #states think that the #carceral #deprivation and #torture will deter #rebellions As we see from #Gaza the world's largest concentration camp - and many others, this is not what happens. The concentration is a radicalising process, in exactly the same way as prisons are universities and network facilitators of criminal enterprise. Faced with this realisation - that the people you have imprisoned are now fully concentrated on your defeat, the fash response - of course, always out of fear of righteous vengeance - is to seek to eradicate the threat of consequence rather than account for strategic missteps in creating the concentration camp in the first place.

The U.S. is a #carceral-police regime with two #rightwing parties. I always think about this #tweet whenever they come with the "#paranoid" argument

May be useful to know where you and I may end up soon, as more people in the US are taken by the government. Cecot is a prison in El Salvador the US government has already sent ~250 people from the US to against the order of a federal judge, without charges filed, with no trials nor due process.

These #states use stolen #Indigenous land to fund #prisons
#Statetrustlands generate millions of dollars for #carceral facilities and programs every year, largely from extractive industries like #oil and #gasdrilling.

[Photographie] "Ce travail permet de les aider à tenir l'enfermement." Des photographies captivantes de femmes en prison, par Céline Levain
@artdesign
france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/nouvelle-aquitaine/charente/angouleme/ce-travail-permet-de-les-aider-a-tenir-l-enfermement-des-photographies-captivantes-de-femmes-en-prison-par-celine-levain-3071692.html
L’artiste Céline Levain a photographié 17 femmes de la maison d’arrêt d’Angoulême et du centre pénitentiaire de Vivonne. Elle en sort un très beau livre “Captives” en hommage à ces femmes incarcérées.
C'est par hasard qu’est née la rencontre de Céline Levain avec ces femmes détenues. La photographe fait partie d’un collectif d’auteurs illustrateurs sur Angoulême. Au cours d’une réunion, un conseiller Pénitentiaire d’Insertion et de probation (SPIP) se présente. Il est à la recherche d’un intervenant pour des animations culturelles dans les prisons. “Tout de suite, j’ai levé la main, j’avais à cœur de travailler sur la représentation féminine… Je voulais m’emparer du sujet autour de ces femmes”, avoue l’autrice.

New CLIR Publication: “#Archivist Actions #Abolitionist Futures”
“This collection of brief essays challenges long-held principles of #archival practice by addressing the carceral underpinnings of the #cultural professions. Contributors explore how complicity with #carceral systems and the #Prison Industrial Complex undermines equitable access to information and perpetuates systemic harms.”

Black parents have historically been divided from our children by #enslavement, the modern #carceral system, family courts, + #capitalist work demands. I've been overjoyed to welcome my second baby this year, with a partner who's committed to healthy co-parenting and social justice. And I'm committed to being present with my #baby while maintaining my #activism and #radical tech projects.

The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other country—about as many as #China—while, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.
Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.

finally, wrote about the GOP's war on #schoollunches, which is steeped in #carceral logic. #BenShapiro wants to police kids, not give them help, because he hates helping people and fears feeding the #hungry will reduce #inequity. https://www.editorialboard.com/punish-the-hungry/

Why We’re #Suing to Protect the #Right of #Incarcerated People to Receive Physical #Mail | #ElectronicFrontierFoundation
"This #lawsuit also marks #EFF’s commitment to stopping the current trend that seeks to #privatize aspects of the #carceral system for #profit as well as strip #privacy away from incarcerated individuals. Another such practice is charging exorbitant fees for people to make phone calls to family members—a scheme that #Connecticut has just made illegal."

Using Amazon's #Rekognition technology, #Spotlight use the moralising narrative of humanitarian uses to extend #carceral networks, putting marginalised consenting #sexworkers at-large (and their networks) at further risk, while expanding policing powers. The excuse is stopping child trafficking, but the practical applications show an expansion of the hostile terrain–featuring tech-augmented police harassment–that endangers folx in the first place. Sarah is one of many.

Hoping to connect with folks who care about:
* Survivor-led, peer communities
* #MadStudies
* #AntiOppressive care
* #CriticalPsychiatry, #carceral systems, #abolition
* Growing alternative, liberatory approaches to #healing & justice -

@imo_weg Fascinating! Did it house the Supreme Court while it was still a gaol? Or do you know what changes were made as its position in the judicial system changed? Sounds like an interesting case study in #carceral #architecture
