hell yeah

the fantasy that they wont do something that is so obviously abhorrent to you, the fantasy that they wont do this to you, the fantasy that because you haven't been effected yet you wont be effected in the future, the fantasy that the american state is a "we", the fantasy that we have no complicity

Im really scared of what these bastards plan to do tonight. I don't have a clever analysis or a joke or take. I hope its all bluster and when tomorrow comes I'll want to get back to promoting my little book and flirting and making jokes, but im full of dread and just want to hold all of you close 🫂🫂

i went into this expecting the medical grievance denial rate in federal prisons to be in like the 70–80% range

after crunching the numbers, i found that 98% of the 66,000 medical grievances lodged between 2014–2024 were rejected by BOP; less than 1,000 cases were granted relief in 10 years

I feel like we're being primed to blame spurious factors for the impending wave of hospital closures as Medicaid cuts are implemented & ACA marketplace enrollment declines in the absence of premium-lowering subsidies.

Listening to this today and I think it really is a gem of an exploration. Even though I was there I’ll hear something @reallandsend.bsky.social or @annekosseffjones.bsky.social said and I’m nodding, like yeah that’s good stuff, great framing! And then there’s my own voice. Wild.

It was a lovely conversation ❤️

Really enjoyed this. I already knew how thoughtful and deeply informed @jonathanstegall.bsky.social is, but can report back that @reallandsend.bsky.social really does just open her mouth and speak in complete, theoretically sound units of brilliance like this; there's no editing magic at work.

Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2026 The big picture on how many people are locked up in the United States and why

The number of people detained by ICE rose by an astonishing 58% (25,200) between 2025 and 2026; expanded immigration detention accounts for virtually all of the growth in mass incarceration since our last report. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2...
