  1. Molly Crabapple on the Jewish Bund

    'When I wrote my book about the Bund, I made sure to focus on the women. Some were barricade fighters and orators. Some shot guns, wrote theoretical treatises, and pulled their friends off of boxcars bound for Treblinka...I tried to pay attention to the humbler work of life. The women’s vigils alongside Mokotow prison. The women on the bus to Rikers. The aunties who pack the packages. The hands that keep movements alive'

  6. 'Karen has no criminal record. She is a grandmother who spent eight years working as an admin assistant at a primary school before her retirement...So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? A possible answer began to emerge over the weeks she was incarcerated. As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone'

  7. Prison Health Care Continues to Deteriorate Under Donald Trump

    Donald Trump, at the start of both his first and second terms, said that he would order the Department of Justice (DOJ) to clean up its act in the area of prison health care. Trump also pledged to push states to improve health care in their prison syst...

  8. I’m currently reading “Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture,” by Angela Davis. If I used a highlighter in this book, about 90% of it would be yellow.

  13. I need some hashtags that make it obvious because I keep seeing these stories that expose the grift. #PrisonIndustrialComplex #Grift

    For my full point written out see: triangletoot.party/@aburtch/11 mastodon.social/@austinkocher/

  14. We are going to have to start talking about the “prison-industrial complex. Because the same way that war and military spending fuel profits for a lucrativly rich segment of the economy, mass incarceration does as well.

    It’s a grift. A huge amount of money is now going to building and operating prisons, all run by privately owned companies, who I guarantee are all heavy Trump donors.

  15. @blogoklahoma Unironically a step in the right direction. Now if we can turn the #prisonindustrialcomplex into a system based on #rehabilitation, that would be wonderful!

  16. Next Saturday, March 22nd, Firestorm will be hosting Rattling the Cages co-creator Eric King in conversation with two veterans of the George Jackson Brigade—Janine Bertram and Mark Cook. Together they'll reflect on their experiences as political prisoners and the legacy of one of the most prolific US revolutionary groups in the 1970s, which synthesized movements for women's liberation, queer liberation, and Black power.

    Register for this free event and find copies of "Ratting the Cages: Oral Histories of North American Political Prisoners" at firestorm.coop/events/3337-rat. Not sure you can make it? Register anyway and we'll send you a recording of the conversation to stream at your convenience.

  17. I was excited to realise yesterday that not only is there a second season of Andor starting next month, but I only watched the first half of Season 1. Onto episode 8 tonight.

    The prison complexes on the ocean planet immediately reminded me of the floating super-prison in the MCU. Then I had a dark thought. What if this is the endgame of SeaSteading technology? The ultimate Guantanamo ...

  21. @danie10 @hcj Australia's new law effectively means #teens will not be able to research topics that may OR MAY NOT BE affecting their society, as they move into #adulthood, this effectively reduces under-16s in #australia (and if this global trend continues, the world) as second class citizens, 2nd class youth will invariably lead to 2nd class adults. Information is NOT #alcohol, its NOT an addictive drug, it is the bigtech platforms that have weaponized the social spaces.... social spaces in general are NOT THE PROBLEM!

    the australian govt comparing this law to an #alcoholBan ought horrify every living person on earth. we should be reminded also of what the "war on drugs" actually achieved, in so far as it simply put a bunch of recreational users into the #prisonIndustrialComplex. I put forward that THIS is the real goal of this new global push by govts to ban #information for our youth.

    It is also akin to the burning of books, because when govt (today in the 'land-down-under') ties access to the internet to getting a #facescan, or a govt-issued #digitalID that will spell the end of #academicFreedom. The so-called #freeAndOpenWeb and #fediverse community must move swiftly to make australia's new laws redundant.

    Mobilise now....

    ....we ONLY have 12 months make i2p federation a native feature of :butterfedyC: fediverse servers.

  27. Capital and Abolition - "Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Lydia Pelot-Hobbs draw on their work on California, Louisiana, and beyond to tease out the interrelationship of racial capitalist crisis and the expansion of carceral geographies as well as how a historical materialist approach to abolition can fortify and advance our struggles for new worlds."

  28. "I have found that state legislatures controlled by Democrats from 1984 to 2004 were more likely to build prisons. A common dynamic when a prison is being built is that Republican-led legislatures afterward pass stricter laws ensuring there will be more incarcerated persons."

    "the supply of prisons generates demand that states grow the population of incarcerated persons. In fact, our working paper suggests that prison demand is not only inelastic but drives incarceration, not the other way around. States that build more prisons incarcerate more people."
