A number of programs enable #incarcerated #parents to read #books to their children. A new program uses #Tonies to achieve this.

"Letter after letter showed me a refreshing disregard for that invisible tyranny of taste determining what we 'should'—even 'must'—read."

#NayibBukele (known by his mom as Nobby #Bukake) is #OrangeShitler's latest #Authoritarian boyfriend. Today #NobbyBukake and #KingShitzInPants had a little "tough bro" giggle about sending #Murrican #Citizens - who have upset #tRump - to Nobby's little naked #gulag in #elSalvador WITHOUT #DueProcess. Do they circle-jerk over #incarcerated men stripped to the waist?
Are you great yet #Murrica?

For #incarcerated people, denied access to #reading material is a mental #prison

Looks like the Canadian woman detained by the #fascists at #ICE is finally, after 11+ days, set to be released today.

Reminder: she broke exactly zero laws but was #incarcerated and held (with hundreds or thousands of others) in medieval conditions.

While the good-looking young white woman is finally being released, thousands of brown men, women, and children continue to languish in Red Don’s #intermentcamps.
