"ProPublica reports on the tragedies caused by anyone questioning psychiatric diagnoses."

"The Marshall Project blames too many people being forcibly detained on not enough people being forcibly detained."

Support Rob Wipond if you can, his work is impactful. #InvoluntaryCommitment #Carceral

Perspective view along the top railing of a black metal fence that surrounds a grassy area with trees between two city streets. The fence excludes people from the grassy area. Leaves lie on the ground.

this town has a divided street downtown w nice grassy areas & trees like a park. but in front of the building where services exist for people w few resources, this is what city leaders decided to do. nowhere else

so many ways to put people in jails & it's sad and unnecessary

Question for the hive mind: Does the slogan/acronym ACAB have roots (or collusion) with White Supremacy? TMK I have only ever seen it used in antiracist, abolitionist, and decriminalization circles. TIA! #acab #decriminalization #abolitionist #carceral #cops #policing

The #carceral system is a deadly place and is getting worse.

"We no longer have formal eugenics boards, but we see trickles of this eugenics logic continuing in healthcare and in the carceral system. It’s eugenics logic at play when migrant women in detention centers aren’t seen as worthy of reproduction, and so forced hysterectomies were deemed acceptable. And then, when we see this growing pro-natalist movement, this growing movement among highly educated white billionaires to increase the birth rates of other white billionaires—abortion bans are fueled by eugenics—we’re continuing to see this desire to repopulate the earth with the “right” kinds of people and to reduce the birth rates of other types of people."

In the newsletter, I incl. a quote from @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social in a recent interview w/ @thenation.com, saying "we no longer have formal eugenics boards, but we see trickles of this #eugenics logic continuing in #healthcare...the #carceral system...[& the] growing pro-natalist movement" (24/?)

A history of the #carceral state provides clues to what they plan to do at #AlligatorAlcatraz. None of it is good.
