THANK YOU @harshawalia8, @williamcson, and @deanspade for talking about abolition and the state!! How do abolitionists approach and answer the question of the state - where do we differ, where is there convergence from which to struggle together?

I’m on the road but wanted to get this thread out as the creep of fascism feels larger and closer. Another resource list, this time using @MsKellyMHayes’s self-reflection prompts on planning for disaster, including @prisonculture’s guiding questions for moments of injustice. 🧵
A wonderful complementary article is Deana Ayer’s blogpost “Balancing urgency and patience when the world is burning around us.” actbuildchange.com/blog/balancing…
