Know this. There is NO SUCH THING as a prison phone service vendor or a prison mail vendor. These corporations sell SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS to the state. Phone service is just the medium for the surveillance being enacted. They themselves say as much in their institutional promotional material.

Well damn... we knew it was coming but here it is - CDCr is now "considering" digital mail scanning and blocking physical mail going inside. Dope is the pretext, but isolation and surveillance is the mission. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"New spending plan shrinks some budgets but adds $9.5 million to the sheriff’s department." Austerity more than exempts prisons, cops and militaries from cuts - it relies on expanding them. Social control through state violence is the other half of austerity. lapublicpress.org/2025/04/la-c...

How intimidating would cops n courts still be if every jail, juvie, prison & detention center was hotbed of resistance? Still can get grabbed, or even shot or beat down but if they can't keep the jails n prisons saturated w lateral violence and disorganization, they lose a huge chunk of their power

I went to an event packed with 100s of companies looking to contract with border enforcement and the Trump administration as they ramp up detentions and deportations. The main event sponsor is running the Guantanamo Bay Migrant Operations Center — they handed out tote bags. Here’s everything I saw.

This makes complete sense. There is a certain layer of bureaucrat and appointees focused on herding us like cattle. Herding, caging, deporting, starving, surveilling, propagandizing....

The inadequacy of the liberal project can be clearly mapped in its condemnation of all of the expressions of the radical left (abolish ice, antifa, palestine solidarity) which have all now proven to be essential to the defense of the freedoms liberals profess to defend.
