Want to make this very clear: *Because* Biden is fully supporting the most fascist right wing gov in Israel's short history, he is ceding ground to fascist right wing forces in the US. The blame is on Biden's admin & them alone, yet we will all suffer the consequences come 2024.

Democrats have a nasty habit of listening to voters of color only a few weeks every 4 years. But if Dems want Biden to win in 2024, they’d better start listening to the anger voters of color feel over Biden’s all-out embrace of Israel’s war.

"Abolition is more than an idea. Abolition is decolonization. Abolition on stolen land, as this is for Indigenous communities, is a radical dismantling of the carceral state." -Morning Star Gali #DismantleChangeBuild #AbolitionNow #Decolonize #LandBack #CollectiveLiberation

Watch Angela Davis explain why we must always reject the state's argument that building new cages is necessary to close existing cages. That's not harm reduction, that's expanding the PIC. Shout out to @CR_NYC and @nonewjails_nyc for demanding #CloseRikers WITHOUT new jails.

Angela Davis: “Call for a moratorium on jail building, prison building. There should be no new jails and prisons. There are already too many...I would say the way to respond to it is to build a campaign and stand up and say no: no more prisons, no more jails.”

Abolition is a project of imagination. It might be some work to ask, who are we calling when someone's going through a mental health crisis, or experiencing violence, and the answers will be different, but it will take some creativity and thinking through it.- @solangenaz , @byp100

Abolition is not just about getting rid of cops and cages, it's about undoing the practices that reinforce those systems...like relying on cops and cages.

@C_Resistance , how do you feel about a state agency that is working with the police and building coercive rescue programs using your words about #abolition to justify their own policies?
