This month, Kwaneta recommends Imperfect Victims by @leighgoodmark.bsky.social and Corridors of Contagion by @victorialaw.bsky.social. Both of these are must-reads for anyone interested in abolition.

People with big platforms who profess to care about marginalized people should never, ever punch down. And when they do, we should notice and assess what they’ve produced accordingly.

Prison is sexual abuse. Prison is torture. Prison is death. Free them all.

If the anti–domestic violence movement wants to embrace abolition feminism, why is it clinging to the use of carceral system to punish perpetrators? @leighgoodmark.bsky.social's “Intimate Partner Firearm Violence and Abolition Feminism” explores the tension between its rhetoric & practice. 1/2

Kim Hricko, @kwanetaharris.bsky.social, and I recently published an article on how true crime media harms criminalized survivors. Here's another facet of that harm: true crime exposes incarcerated women to men seeking to sexually exploit them. @truthout.org truthout.org/articles/inc...

"The violence we experience inside is not a different or separate kind of violence. It is gender-based violence, and it's enabled by your silence. So let me ask again: Ain't I a woman? And if I am, then where are you?" My brilliant friend, @kwanetaharris.bsky.social:

Ain't We Women, Too?

For many incarcerated women, the state is their abuser, but the gender-based violence we experience behind bars goes ignored.

I love these emails. Which character in Decriminalizing Domestic Violence do you think suggested real screen potential?

To be very, very clear: Zackey Rahimi should not have a gun. Ever.

When I was asked to sign an amicus brief in U.S. v. Rahimi, I reflexively said yes--no one who uses violence should have a gun. Then I remembered that the criminal legal system would enforce the prohibition. #Abolitionfeminism means saying no to the criminal system. My latest @socres.org:

Client's application for a pardon of her federal conviction was denied (the judge felt so strongly that the client deserved mercy that he advocated against her deportation after her conviction). Apparently we didn't submit the one thing that the Administration requires before considering a pardon.

Preventing harm before it happens, providing safe and non-judgmental spaces in which people who are considering harm can get help without requiring them to be criminalized--this is exactly the kind of thing we should be doing, and House of Ruth is doing it in Maryland.

Today's fun fact: if "blue" "progressive" Maryland was a country, we would incarcerate more women per capita than 153 countries, including Canada, China, Argentina, and Venezuela, and would be tied with the Russian Federation. #TheMoreYouKnow www.prisonpolicy.org/global/women...

As a pragmatic abolitionist, I'll use any tool I can to get people out of prison. But laws decreasing sentences for/allowing for resentencing of criminalized survivors are not everything we need to prevent injustice. We need for survivors not to be prosecuted at all. Mine @truthout.org.

Laws to help “criminalized survivors” who fight back against their abusers often merely reduce their prison time.

So far during the parade, my kids have booed the NYPD, asked why we continue to glorify the (whiteness of the) 50s, and talked about union busting during a Starbucks commercial. The kids are all right.
