I LOVED talking to the incredible @kbeccaandrews about my new book Survivor Injustice (out now) for @reckonnews! Read our conversation about how state violence creates the conditions for interpersonal violence and more here:

I wrote about "girl" trends and why they're never going away because, as the publishing industry learned in like 2014, "girl" in the title sells https://t.co/9DVpGwdHmF

This is an image of a Corcraft soap dispenser in a bathroom in NYC’s City Hall.

Incarcerated workers earn just 10 - 65 cents/hr to make products like this one for Corcraft, the manufacturing arm of the state’s prison system. #NoSlaveryinNY

"Self-care, as a term, attempts to capture a non-professionalized quality, but in doing so it wrongly suggests that humans are capable of caring for themselves independently and individually.

Instead, care requires interdependence and collaboration." !

"Queer and trans people who use drugs and do sex work—and anyone else struggling to survive in a country enriched by their slow death—are always already finding ways to care for themselves and each other despite insufficient support."

We need the #HowManyStopsAct!

Contact @NYCSpeakerAdams & @NYCCouncil and tell them we need to shine a light on what policing looks like in our city. This legislation is a crucial step toward NYPD accountability & community safety!

@sacklerpain VOCAL-NY leader Neil Berry with our call to action.

Every 90 minutes a person dies from a preventable overdose, and yet Gov. Hochul refuses to establish life-saving OPCS across the state.

Call and demand she takes action now! #NotOneMoreDeath

[VOCAL-NY @VOCALNewYork]

HAPPENING NOW: Rally at Governor Hochul’s NYC office to protest her inaction on the overdose crisis that continues to claim the lives of New Yorkers everyday. #EndOverdoseNY

[The People’s Plan @PeoplesPlanNYC]

TY to CMs who voted NO to reject the Mayor's budget cuts -- & to all who fought to claw back funding for our communities! The fight for #CareNotCuts is far from over; we'll continue to fight against the Mayor's budgetary war on poor & working class people. More analysis to come.

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved Carl Stubbs passed away this morning peacefully in his home, with his family by his side. Carl is a VOCAL-NY icon, our most active member of all time, and a fixture in the New York social justice movement.

📢 CARE NOT CRIMINALIZATION 📢

As we head into the final week of budget negotiations in the @NYCCouncil, we demand councilmembers reject @NYCMayor's proposal to slash services & funnel money into the NYPD. #NYCBudgetJustice

We’ve heard countless stories about women almost dying when hospitals denied them emergency abortions.

But we’re not grappling with the thousands of people unable to get abortions and forced to give birth. Those are also horror stories. Me in @Jezebel
