ProPublica has obtained smuggled audio from inside america's concentration camps for children.

wherein there are just uncountable numbers of small children crying and CBP officers make fun of them for it; joking "we have an orchestra." and a 6-year-old girl is given a choice between eating and calling her aunt to tell her where she is.

listen and feel your heart break. this is what's happening right now

Me: I've been growing out the henna so I could dye it blue. But that will take forever. I could just get a blue wig. Then I'll have pretty red hair all of the time.

Kurt: Not all of the time.

Me: I'll have pretty red hair some of the time and a blue wig some of the time. And a pedantic husband all of the time.

noir is a conservative genre that thinks that corruption can not be changed, only the heroes values can be conserved. But cyberpunk is a noir that believes that the corruption can be outwitted and undercut: by saving the self and the people you love, you are forcing the algorithms of your oppression to recognise your humanity. This is very unrealistic, but it is a hopeful genre of outsiders supplying change

"In the wave of public employee unionization of the 1960s, many public service workers - not just cops - began to demand changes in the way their work was organized... whereas teachers and social workers rallied against discrimination, inequality, and the meager remedies of the Great Society, the police turned sharply to the right... [police] advocate longer prison sentences, fewer safeguards against brutality, and new weaponry"

(and, fascist training programs like Urban Shield)

"Relying on a slave economy, the American South faced unique problems of social control, especially in areas where White people were in the minority. Regardless of their own economic class or ethnic background, White people were haunted by the prospect of a slave revolt. They became utterly obsessed with controlling the lives of Black people, free and slave, and developed a deep and terrible fear of any unsupervised activity in which Black people might engage."

I still don't understand the whole "throw out identity politics" bandwagon because it isn't "class politics" because that just tells me you don't like reading, say, Kwame Ture because he makes you uncomfy in your whiteness

@nev @mooncake that's why i try to punt people to complimentary holism, especially if they're like all this mess

with a large bat labeled "reserved for white supremacists" still by the door, just in case

Idle question for the fediverse and the scholar.social homies:

are there any journals or scholars looking at the intersections between disability justice, carceral studies, and policing? Anything that looks at the prison industrial complex through the lens of disability? Or vice versa?

YouTube is still burying Fran Blanche's videos, so fuck its faux support for Pride.
