I need people to understand that if you’ve dealt with ice, if you’ve had to worry about you or your kids or neighbors disappearing, if you see the govt giving nazis carte blanche to kill you, every “reform”’ from democrats who currently reject abolition sounds insane. and frankly fucking stupid

You cannot fight evil effectively if you don't understand how it's manufactured, or how a road that may have felt normal to you delivered us to so much evil.

I'm not trying to diminish anyone's shock. We are all conditioned to ignore systemic violence that is occurring all around us. When something punctures the veil, and we react, that's an essential jumping off point. I do want to challenge folks to understand the broader context, bc that's necessary.

I am so happy to see so many people directing their energy against these fucking fascists! It's good! It's also very true that strikes take WORK, can last a long time, need resources and infrastructure to succeed. I spent two YEARS covering a strike in Alabama that still hasn't been resolved.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

People are asking a lot “how is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening — you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.

It's impossible to express how it feels to repeatedly live through the exact same cycles over and over and over again. The reformers just consistently fucking everyone over.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

The pain and the outrage is correct and just and I'm glad everyone can see and understand it here, and this is also already what BLM was, if you argued for training, police reform or body cams instead of abolition this is what you sounded like, this is why people were so mad at you

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Outside of prison, there is no other workplace that could get away with requiring workers to strip in front of their co-workers & a camera. In 2024, 70+ incarcerated workers in CA organized against such degrading conditions & policies, says James Anderson.

AI’s only general purpose use is to control labor. Thank you.
Their plan is to use AI to detect forbidden words and content for any federally funded research project. I expect this to be challenged in court in due time, but in the meantime, I need to comply to keep funding my students

We are proud to introduce our next Workshop4Sudan w/ Ruth Wilson Gilmore on May 5 at 12 pm (EDT). This wkshp will among other things allow 4 reflections on what internationalism frm below might look like, given abolition requires it + how we apply it to diff. contexts.

🖤 May Day means solidarity with ALL workers, including sex workers, incarcerated workers, undocumented workers, criminalized workers, and disabled workers.

When we say “an injury to one is an injury to all,” we’d better fucking mean it. 🖤
