Social Revolutions of my Life – Police and Prison Abolition

This post is Part 2 of a series on social revolutions of the past 30 years — where public consciousness has massively shifted in favor of liberation. My aim is to create space to pause and acknowledge how things have changed in ways that once felt impossible, remind us that things can always be otherwise. It is inspired in part by Rebecca Solnit’s 2016 edition of Hope in the Dark and David Graeber’s 2007 essay “The Shock of Victory.” Feel free to check out part 1. [...]

In #Houston, these are the folks who *finally* passed a #resolution that stopped #cops from detaining people for #ICE, then, when the #governor threatened to #DefundThePolice, they amended all the goodness out of it.

#CityCouncil members who approved this BS and who were previously endorsed by organizations I participate in might find themselves in receipt of a #censure or few. https://mstdn.social/@smutmag/116511285033847531

I am begging everyone to be looking at your city councils right now. These are the people who say whether or not a corporation can come into your town and take all of your resources, pollute the environment, and kill the residents. Cit Council members who hand your welfare and lives over to corporations should never have a moment of rest from the people. These are the people you can actually have an influence on, and these are elections you can actually get in on.

In more news of the Australian police being fucking useless.
Seriously its a 6 week course. There are other services with better training that cost less than the police force and are far more effective.

Laura says her cop ex was given a 'golden pass' on rape allegations

When Tasmania Police misidentified Laura as a family violence perpetrator, she had no idea she'd have to fight for them to hold her abuser — a serving officer — to account. Now, she's fighting for change.

Since this was detected by our public broadcaster, not the cops, why don't we #DefundThePolice and use the savings to #FundTheCBC?

Canada in 2026: children seeing adults going publicly full-bigot who think it's okay to do the same, like writing awful things on a *genocide memorial*.
