David Walker published An Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World in pamphlet form in 1829. It's one of the most important and influential abolitionist texts in U.S. history. Yet, very few people have actually read it and many people don't know who Walker was especially among young people.

Oh god, this chick would think I was a total perv. I withdrew from college for mental health reasons. I just went back to finish my BA in my forties and I’m finally in my senior year. I commute, but I spend time with plenty of nineteen and twenty year olds. I’m not dating them, but we are friends.

This week Inquest shared a personal essay on finding abolitionist ideas while incarcerated, and an exploration of how diversion is frequently just another form of punishment rather than a true alternative to carceral logic. Get the full recap here: mailchi.mp/inquest.o...
Quote card for Stevie Wilson's Inquest article "How I Came to Abolition": "One of the things that studying helped me see is that there were things I had already been doing before my incarceration that were abolitionist—we just didn’t call them that. Coming to abolition, then, was not a conversion so much as a recognition."

I remember following Liliana on Twitter for every execution in this spree. She applied for press passes to each of them and IIRC, she was never granted one. But she was still out there each time reporting what she could. Watching people go on, blissfully unaware that the gov was killing in our names

This is so sad and enraging. His cause of death hasn’t been released yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it can be directly traced back to his incarceration. Prison ages and disables people at a horrifying rate. Incarcerated people are considered ‘elderly’ in their fifties.
