I would love to hear other people's bite-size description of abolition. What words do we need to understand to grasp your definition? (I defined harm and accountability) Do you have a plain language version for people who don't read English or need simpler phrasing?

Sometimes I work on my personal definition of abolition. This sentence just came up for me in a document full of attempts to simplify sentences with like twelve clauses: If you did to a person on the outside the shit you do to people in prison, they would throw your ass in jail.

Trump is now housing hundreds of immigrants in notorious federal prisons. I collected accounts from detainees who report: Moldy food; shortages of food and toilet paper; given used underwear + bloodstained clothes; no medical care; filthy cells; cut off from family; some missing their ICE hearings

RFK Jr. is now ordering the CDC to fund studies of measles treatments using unproven “vitamins and drugs”. Literal malpractice. We already have something that prevents measles safely and effectively. The MMR vaccine.

BREAKING: We're suing to overturn a Georgia law that forces judges to set cash bond for dozens of charges, even when they believe a person can be safely released from jail without it. Freedom shouldn’t depend on how much money you have.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

“Eugenics isn’t just about eradicating the lesser people like myself, like people with disabilities, it’s about attaching disability to marginalized communities in order to slate them for eradication.” Fantastic crash course in eugenics, ableism & anti-blackness from @imanibarbarin.bsky.social

Free story idea: how the tariffs will affect Black beauty supply stores and Black-owned salons. I'm interested in reading about changes to prices for packages of hair for braiding, bonnets, silk pillowcases, nail polish, press ons, weaves, wigs, eyelashes, silk press combs, and hair trimmers.

The care incarcerated people offer one another is beautiful and necessary, but this is not the answer. We don't need to invest in training inc people to provide medical care. Critically ill elders like Kelly need to be released. Support Elder and Medical Parole in #mapoli bit.ly/FreeHerMA

All of DC’s prison population is actually incarcerated in other states. The closest DC prisoners are over 100 miles from home. Exiling people from their communities is a longstanding carceral practice in a system designed to harm people.

If you’re not fighting against mask bans because you think they “only” apply to those committing crimes… consider the following: Who decides who’s committing a crime? The police. POC who mask will be disproportionately targeted. Who decides if your medical exemption is “good enough”? Police 🧵

The alternative to naloxone (Narcan) for a fentanyl overdose outside a healthcare facility - where almost all of them in this country occur - is death. Dead people don’t recover. Fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans 18-44. Every single fentanyl overdose death is preventable.
