My sister was transferred to a prison work farm in VA, where she'll serve out her sentence.

It's one of the nicer prisons in the state. Still, she'll be required to labor 8 hrs/day for $0.45/hr.

"I can't believe it, Kristine. It's 2022 and I'm really a slave on a plantation."

[Housing Justice Now @HJNWinstonSalem]

YES. To put it simply, this is a class war between property owners and the landless. We are fighting to keep whatever housing we have, but also organizing for a better world where everyone has decent, safe, and dignified housing!

Between @TriadAbolition watching criminal proceedings and our work on civil evictions, we are building an abolitionist community of care where we fight for each other!

This is not hyperbole. But the fourth part of Fiona Apple’s story is one of the clearest, most succinct, & powerful explanations of the impact of pretrial detention. Not just on individuals but on families and communities.

"Every time you touch this system, it sticks to you."

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Fiona Apple has a story for you. And it’s incredible. Asked me to share.

She's become an avid, trained Court Watcher. Her observations helped people jailed pretrial file a civil rights lawsuit. Then came the retaliation. Shut off her access to court.

A video story in 8 parts:

Today I learned in researching prison law that doctors with suspended licenses are often allowed to continue to practice in prisons.

Cook County reported the first confirmed case of a person with monkeypox in Cook County jail.

There are 5,500 people incarcerated in that jail, today.

[IFAK FUND @IFAKFUND]

On top of our current requests we may have someone table at an event next weekend, hoping to distribute around 10 IFAKs, if you could donate for this express purpose please DM us!

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

Defend spaces for free public gathering! Public parks & space are long under attack. Centers of shared life and wild existence are disappeared in favor of alienated condos & offices.

Everyone deserves access to life outdoors, day & night — Life in common, outside consumerism.

UPDATE: While Ms. Yvette is still facing prison time for her felony charge, we are overjoyed to announce that her 2020 misdemeanor charge related to #occupywsnc was dropped!

[Comrade Ohio @ComradeOhio]

All Call to Action 🚩
Evictions are state sanctioned VIOLENCE.
End the war on the poor in Ohio.
Stop the Sweeps!
In solidarity with Camp Shameless + local organizers in Columbus Ohio. Please share 🚨🚨🚨

[Atlanta Solidarity Fund @ATLSolFund]

We want to lift up other groups working on abortion issues to help develop a bail fund focused on this area. We intend to serve as a stop-gap to get people out of jail until we can transition the resources & responsibility to an abortion focused org. If this is you, get in touch!

[Atlanta Solidarity Fund @ATLSolFund]

We're launching an initiative to support anyone who is jailed in connection with this law. We know this is a major undertaking. It will test the capacity of our funds and volunteers. But with repression looming on the horizon for so many in our state, there is no other choice.

[Atlanta Solidarity Fund @ATLSolFund]

If you are an activist who is approached by police for questioning, you don't have to answer any of their questions. You can say "I don't answer questions without my attorney present", send them away, and then contact us. We can get you connected to a lawyer for advice.

THREAD. A few additional thoughts about Biden calling for 100,000 new cops and billions more for surveillance at a time of rising fascism.
