Films that imagine decarceral futures are a cultural antidote for the carceral messages and aesthetics so prevalent in popular media.
They "are quite simply about making things out of what we have in ways that build freedom," writes Michelle Brown. inquest.org/big-screen-aboli…

Central themes of love, joy, playfulness & worlding/making space. A useful shift away from tropes of crisis, danger, harm, suffering, critique. @SarahAinGlasgow asks maybe this is part of a generative politics of refusal? @gehan_macleod @ProfMBrown @TheSCCJR @GalGael #CAPS2022

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.
Michelle Brown retweeted
Unpopular post...Only in America could anyone think that a prison sentence for more than twenty years is not harsh enough. If you know anything about prison, its utterly life destroying. I hope that we can move beyond the relentless desire for punishment. We need so much more.

If you’re wondering why it *looks* like the police are at war with us:

While some will call it "treason," a "mob," an attempted "coup," etc., this event is a deeply *normalized* expression of US patriotism, nationalism, and "freedom." it is an occupation of the state animated by white supremacist ENTITLEMENT to the state.

There are SO many people to be grateful for in Georgia. Regular, grassroots, brilliant af, folks that have been building for y e a r s w/very little resources (until recently & even now it’s not what they deserve) to make this “impossible” thing possible.

I made this storymap a few months ago for a talk about policing. The map goes from 1865-1965.
