@GEOGroup changed the name of the detention center in #Tacoma twice in less than 1 month. Changing the name doesn’t change reality. This is a prison and must be shutdown! #NWDC #ShutItDown #AbolishICE

Prisoners and supporters have to stop organizing from a beggars angle and a belief that prisons can be fixed. Or relying on automatic bureaucracy or good hearts to make sweeping change. We must organize to have a political voice and say in representation like all other classes

RT @bsonenstein@twitter.com
it would be a huge step forward if we spent less time talking about prisoners and their conditions and more time giving them the mic or at least even acknowledging their daily efforts

FLEA day #4 Today is the day I push my physical limits. Hitting the concrete every 6 hours -- pushing my body, eatting on only the words from Soledad, and embracing the energy of the comrades around me on the same routines #BlackAugustSalute #RememberingOurMartyrs 🦍🦍🦍

Alongside family members, lawyers, & civil rights advocates, I spent the past decade calling out the horrifying conditions at MCC & trying to get the media to pay attention. Now media attention is swarming but will we actually commit to changing conditions there? I wrote this: https://twitter.com/TheAtlIdeas/status/1162392894487060480

Both the book bans and corporate comms vending are in line with the prison mission -
Control, surveillance and isolation.

To read GTLs website is to realize they are in fact marketing surveillance platforms
not any sort of communication or educational product
