TEN DEMANDS (The Abolitionists) @tendemands.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
Distinguished professor Dylan Rodriguez — @dylanrodriguez.bsky.social — speaks with former political prisoner and Black Panther Mansa Musa about “the horrifying truth” behind the prison industrial complex — and the politics that “dilute the power of radical movements trying to dismantle it”

‘Mass incarceration’ is a liberal myth. The truth is far worse.
“The masses are not being policed, targeted, and incarcerated,” Distinguished Professor and author Dylan Rodríguez says; “it's a targeted war with asymmetrical casualties.”

Don't get it twisted, these 160 names are not just highly paid academic celebrities, but also modestly paid staff, untenured faculty members, and vulnerable students. UC administration's craven collaboration with the feds is both *unsurprising* and *disgusting*. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

UC Berkeley shares information on 160 staff, students with US government
Among those listed is feminist philosopher Judith Butler, who likened the move to a ‘practice from the McCarthy era’.

Can a ceasefire end settler colonial genocide?
The ceasefire may put an end to mass slaughter in Gaza, but it won’t halt the structural genocide of Palestinians.
