#abolition now

An adoption abolitionist’s plea:

Don’t say your for-profit artwork has been “adopted”.

Don’t advertise your portraits with cutesy phrases like “Isn’t Uwu Smolbean Rag Doll Doodlybunz peachy keen? Adopt her today for just $299!”

Don’t call buying an inanimate friggin object “an adoption”.

Doubt I’ll be heard by many. But I’ll keep saying this stuff til kept people who claim progressive and leftist values begin to comprehend that countless millions of actual living, breathing people in this world have been bought and sold as infants or children and it AIN’T FUCKIN CUTE.

Liams toxicology report is so sad :( the hotel employee needs to go to jail

I really couldn't disagree more with this actually, I don't support putting people in cages and I certainly don't see how that would help anyone at all. Just as I wished for Liam to have the opportunity to access the grace and care that would have allowed him to get to a place where he wasn't hurting anyone, I wish for that hotel employee to live in an economic system where they don't need to procure drugs for rich people to get by, and I don't think punishing them for what happened will help anyone any more than I think punishing Liam legally would have helped anyone, or that the ways he was punished did help him or anyone else.

so I'm seeing more people talking about defunding and abolishing the police again. it's really important to learn about the nature of policing, its origins and why policing can't be reformed - why we can't use body cameras or better training to fix police brutality.

in light of the conversation being in the public eye again I wanted to share that the great book The End of Policing is free from Verso right now. it's helped me so much with my understanding of policing and police abolition and I hope it helps you too! Please share this post!

Verso Books is the largest independent, radical publishing house in the English-speaking world.
