"In August, Adams visited Israel to learn more about the possibility of incorporating Israeli drone technology and police tactics in the NYPD. During his visit, Adams praised the drones used...[saying] 'the method in which [the IDF is] using them...is what caught my interest.'"

We've been really quiet "on here" bc its seems like this platform's days are numbered but we really miss y'all and just wanted to pipe back up to share this interview we did with @MalcolmTariq earlier this fall. Thank you @PENamerica for sharing and boosting our work.

[PEN America @PENamerica]

In this #WorksOfJustice feature, @MalcolmTariq interviews Manuela Aronofsky and Mia Bruner of @plsn_nyc about how librarians & volunteers serve incarcerated communities by fulfilling requests for information through reference letters.

Our commissary / mutual aid fund supports dozens of criminalized survivors and their inside networks in NYS. Terrifyingly, our funds are tapped and it's not clear we'll be able to keep going. We need 40k by 08/31 and we're only 1/2 way there. Can you help? https://t.co/awZR4C3pcG

[Prison Library Support Network @plsn_nyc]

@damagedamages Yep! Letters come from all over and volunteering is remote ✨

[Prison Library Support Network @plsn_nyc]

This is 💯 the case! We are getting double the letters we can answer and what's SO clear is people need more info access.

If anyone out there wants to volunteer 🔻🔻

(thx so much for sharing @abolitionstudy)

[Survived & Punished NY @survivepunishNY]

Good morning! Yesterday we got many RTs but few donations.

S&P NY provides direct $ support to criminalized survivors of patriarchal violence—while fighting the violence of cops+cages. The $ support we provide is a literal lifeline for folks. Donate here: https://t.co/Rbnb4w9mvf

[Prison Library Support Network @plsn_nyc]

SOS 📣 WE NEED SUPPORT!!!

Our mailbox at @InterferenceArc is bursting. 📮 Pls share with anyone you think would want to support our project.

100 x $5.00 donations would cover a FULL month of printing and mailing 💌

My latest for @HuffPost:

The #StopCopCity movement has brought together a diverse group of people, including environmental and anti-police organizers, fighting against an enormous police training facility in an Atlanta forest. https://t.co/obMGAjXMEm

If you are a journalist, a good idea for your next story would be to compare the overtime pay of cops with the overtime pay of teachers in your city.

happy New Year’s Eve fotp! we’re on day 2 of pooling but still pretty far from our goal for M 😢 if you’re planning on going out tonight, kick in as much 💰 as a drink or app would be! if you’re planning on staying in, kick in as much as your delivery food will be!

[alccourtwatch @ALCCourtWatch]

The thing is, cages are not the answer. As Angela Davis said, "Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings." Abolition concedes that the solution is based in care, not harm. And justice implores healing, not terror. @AbolitionistLC
