In small light blue text at the top, "a resource binder from interrupting criminalization, project nia & critical resistance."

We’re moments from having the state create registries where pregnant women have to declare their status and prepared to be monitored for nine months until a baby is produced.
Mississippi legislators openly discuss using dogs at airports to sniff women leaving the state.
The dogs can tell if a woman is pregnant.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is satire. Mississippi’s legislators are not discussing using search dogs to find pregnant women.

It has been one week since the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
In response, a dark-money group from Missouri launched a "Woke Heat Map" so that fascists can "fight back" against a "woke agenda."
Twelve locations are tagged.
All of them are schools.

I'm listening to folks who are naming that the leaked decision has implications for abortion rights, access to contraception, and trans rights. It's a part of a long term political project that the right has been strategizing since the 1970's.

Shannon was jailed because he couldn't pay a $7,500 bond.
After CCBF paid his bond, he endured life-threatening conditions on electronic monitoring for 1.5 years before being found not guilty.

Lavette was subjected to electronic monitoring for five months. The harsh conditions and frequent denial of movement devastated her whole family.

Here's a book rejection that we just received from a prison in Tennessee: "Malcolm X not allowed."
This is part of an insidious pattern of targeted bans by prisons against Black authors and against literature critiquing the prison system and power structures in this country.

Electronic monitoring is a form of incarceration that destabilizes thousands of lives across Illinois each year, disproportionately affecting Black and Brown communities. Check out this thread from the Coalition to @endmoneybond breaking down changes coming to EM in January 2022!
On January 1, 2022, portions of the Pretrial Fairness Act will go into effect and expand the rights of people incarcerated in their homes on electronic monitoring!
