Come out Monday September 8th to show them your support.
Incarcerated people deserve to have their voices heard. Tom Gores, owner of Securus (and also owner of the Detroit Pistons 👀) must disagree. Writers who are locked up already have to make due with horrendous UI and a lack of word processors as it is, this is just cruelty for cruelty's sake.
Dark mode Twitter screenshot from Christopher Blackwell reading "Today Securus, a predatory prison communication co, silenced journalists. With no warning they deleted all drafts of writing. Years of work. Everything gone. We're no longer able to save drafts. Now near impossible to write."

Pack the court Drag defense is not a crime Tuesday September 19, 830am 100 n Calhoun Street Fort Worth Texas 4th floor - 48th district court
The Christian fascist new Columbia movement are suing 14 drag defenders in retaliation for the consistent countering of NCM's transphobic protests. On September 19th the court will hear arguments on NCM's temporary injunction that seeks to undermine privacy when protesting in Tarrant county. If granted the injunction forces a restraining order against the Defendants and will allow NCM to demand any protestor to remove face coverings if they suspect they may be one of the drag defenders named.
DFW, come support the drag defenders getting sued by fascist nerds.
