Mass incarceration has always been a tool for white supremacy and maintaining political control.
Same thing for anyone still fighting against decriminalizing marijuana.
It’s the same group people who are pushing these laws.
Prison gerrymandering has always about systemic structural racism.
151.) Wei Wuxian: What kind of family am I marrying into?
wlw are fine as long as they’re ‘fun’, ‘fluid’, ‘don’t like labels’ and men can still jerk off to them. but as soon as they have masculine energy or they’re lesbians who are confident and proud of their lack of attraction to dudes, they’re bad. that’s why 95% of wlw we get in media are still feminine and conventionally attractive (and white) and hollywood is now obsessed with this ‘hot woman who apparently likes other women but let’s not put labels on it’. because it’s fine to show wlw as long as men can still be attracted to them!
In the lawyer's defense, he was just getting paid to write it. Was it stupid, yeah. But if someone paid you $200/hour to write something stupid I think I'd do it too.

On Sixth Anniversary Of Flint Water Crisis, Flint Still Has No Backup Water Source
Flint, MI–On the sixth anniversary of the Flint water crisis, Flint is again in the midst of a crisis.
Six years after the disastrous switch to the Flint River as a source of drinking water for the city, which led to an outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease and toxic levels of lead leaching into the water, the city remains in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act for not having a reliable secondary drinking water source.
Mayor Sheldon Neeley sent a stern message to Flint city council Monday to, “finish the job,” referring to the 21-inch diameter, five-and-a-half-mile pipe, that would connect Genesee County’s water system to Flint. The pipe would ensure that should the current system, which pulls Lake Huron water via Detroit, fail, Flint would have a readily available source of water.
As of now, the only backup source the city has are water reservoirs, which would only supply residents with drinkable water for a matter of days. If anything, such as a major line break or any other unpredictable event that could compromise the city’s water, it’s unclear where Flint would go next once the reservoirs run dry. “The results could be catastrophic,” Neeley said.
The city, per federal law, must have a secondary source of water. The proposed project would be paid for by an Obama era bill, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act. The act authorized $100 million in funding for “Flint, Mich., to recover from the lead contamination in its drinking water system.” According to the EPA, $87 million of that money has not been spent.
The proposed backup system was due to be completed in December of 2019 at a cost of $14.7 million in federal funds. On Monday, the council again voted 4 to 4 delaying construction. A majority vote of six would be needed from the nine-person council to reconsider the contract before they could revisit the project.

Hydroviv was founded as a response to the Flint water crisis and is providing filters to people who need them, not just in Flint but other cities as well, at cost. Mari’s fund is trying to reach its third goal of $200,000. Pictured but not linked: https://www.gofundme.com/f/TeamMariWater
Of course, the point of the article is that filters would not be as vital if the local gov would DO THEIR FUCKING JOB, WITH MONEY THEY WERE ALREADY GRANTED.

I’m crying the baby wants walkies
literally nothing will ever be more pure than the way sokka yells “SUKI” every time he sees his gf and runs right into her arms. i love that.
Idk.. What I think is more pure is the way he gazes at the moon..
i think what people who have grown up in a carceral system like the US fail to understand is that a ten-year prison sentence is a HARSH sentence. it’s a life destroying sentence. seriously, think about the past decade of your life. think about all the relationships you’ve forged, all the places you’ve lived, all the jobs you’ve had or degrees you’ve earned, all the births and weddings and funerals and growth. now imagine instead you spent that decade in a cage. replace all those experiences with the trauma of what people experience in prison.
ten years is time enough to miss your kid’s whole childhood, to whittle away at every relationship and connection you have outside prison. i think we’re so used to seeing 25-to-life sentences being handed down for even non violent crimes that we don’t really think of the actual sentencing process this way. anything less than a LIFE sentence means someone “got off too easily.” and i wonder what would change with our system if we changed how we viewed that.
I did another post on this topic last year, but I thought it could use an update with some more books! And yes, the last post had people repeatedly adding on queer books by white people, so I’m a bit salty about it.

I’m not transcribing all the text, but you can find the titles, authors, information on TW, etc beneath the cut.
When possible, I’m linking to my database of queer books. The page for each book includes the synopsis, content warnings under spoiler tags, and links to reviews from queer readers. If it’s not in the queer database at the time of posting (8/24/19), I’ll link to Goodreads instead.

Bob be like personal growth is neat (for YOU) but I've clearly lost all self-control and willingness to grow
Remember when in season 4 of Orange Is The New Black Poussey Washington was murdered in the exact same way as George Floyd and the prisoners started a riot demanding justice? Remember what happened in the end of it? Weren't you on their side? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Fox News is extremely racist. Here are six minutes of examples.
Fox News is toxic as hell. Fuck them and all the racist white people who support them.
turning off your cell phone isn’t going to do what you want it to do
law enforcement can analyze your metadata, locate that disruption in your patterns, and use that to prosecute you later, if they choose. if you go out, if you protest, if you and others engage in disruptive events, consider leaving your phone at home and on, or with someone you trust to continue engaging in your patterns (texting, using social media, etc.) as another necessary step in covering your tracks and protecting yourself in the future.
if you have to communicate in the field, use prepaid, disposable phones that are not connected to you or people you know, or two-way radio. strictly speaking, though, its best not to communicate in any way other than directly while in the field. set up meet times and locations and organize movement directly.
in our times of big data, removing all evidence of involvement includes the creation of data. stay safe yall
