“53.1‑151.1 gives lawmakers credit for ‘reform’ while freeing no one. It’s another cobblestone on the road paved with good intention straight to impunity.”

I want people to understand this happens throughout the American carceral system. It is the purpose of the system. #abolitionnow
Virginia’s prisons operate in the dark.

“appreciate the friends who pushed me to be honest with myself about how much I was struggling under the weight of all of this, who stayed in conversation with me, and who reminded me that “we keep us safe” means supporting each other when we’re targeted by law enforcement…”

By making women and power relations visible, journalism can contribute not to the normalisation of a reproductive market, but to an educated democratic debate.

Cops are nothing more than an armed gang, out to terrorize and harm whomever they please - knowing that they will face no consequences whatsoever. #AbolitionNow #DefundThePolice
Update: “Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported. According to their atty, ICE deported the family with only the money that they had in their commissary—…$190.”
DHS deported an unresponsive 2 mth old & his family. This is depraved, criminal behavior. #AbolitionNow
Tell me about the inextricable links between
Monopolization & Criminalization?

Ectogenesis = growth of an organism in an artificial environment, outside the body in which it would normally be found.
The term was coined by British scientist J. B. S. Haldane in 1924.

Of course human eggs don’t just grow on trees, although you might be forgiven for thinking they do, from the usual media debates on stem cell technologies. Unlike sperm, they have to be extracted by surgical procedures.

Just up the street from my grandmother's home in Truro, NS, is a prison for children. Former prisoners are calling out the provincial government for harmful use of solitary confinement.

Apparently this also needs saying: “[W]hat you cannot do is to detain first and then sort out lawful authority later.” #AbolitionNow
All our people in cages need us to do better with our care, so we aren’t just perpetuating harm and diminishing resources. We can join those working to improve this carceral
world, while we imagine new ones without cages at all. #AbolitionNow #FreeThemAll
The intersection of racism and ableism: a perfect storm of discrimination and inhumanity for disabled youth of color. #DisabilityJustice is #AbolitionNow is no kids in cages, anywhere, y’all. Our struggles are connected. #FreeThemAll

You ever go to a "useless training" at work where everyone rolls their eyes and it's clear that the culture of the org doesn't support it. That's exactly why "better trained" is bullshit #abolitionNow
Why Not Demand an End to Qualified Immunity? “I'm not interested in reforms that only focus on what we do after police officers have beaten someone to death.” — IC co-founder Andrea J. Ritchie
What Is Qualified Immunity? A legal rule in civil cases that makes it harder to sue state actors (e.g., cops) when they violate someone’s rights. It can—but doesn’t always—block lawsuits when cops harm or kill someone.
This week on social media, some people have been talking about qualified immunity. Scroll through to see why we don’t think it’s something our movement should demand.

Digital illustration of a Black man standing in a New York City subway car, wearing a green hoodie and a face covering. The subway interior is rendered in purples and pinks with posters and signage visible behind him. Overlaid text reads, “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed,” attributed to Martin Luther King Jr.
Freedom is not granted. It is demanded.

"One senior FBI official tells me that there is widespread concern that ICE’s actions are coloring the American public’s view of law enforcement in general."
