prisons were never meant to rehabilitate or even just contain ppl who have committed crimes; it is a source of slave labor that purposefully tortures its victims who are overwhelmingly marginalized ppl. if you're not a prison abolitionist, it's time to ask yourself why.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
