Many people incorrectly describe the Haitian revolution as the "only successful" rebellion of enslaved people in the world . To illustrate how wrong that is, today, 2 July, is the anniversary of two successful enslaved rebellions we are aware of: 🧵

Federal prisons now hold nearly 8,000 more people than when Biden entered office. During his campaign he said he would cut the prison population by more than half.

Oh no! You’ve found a baby bird on the ground, apparently alone and in distress. Its tiny chirps may pull at your heartstrings, but stopping and assessing the situation is essential. Here’s our guide on how and when to assist baby birds: bit.ly/3Lw77Ow

Scalawag is seeking submissions for our fourth-annual Abolition Week, during which we exclusively publish the work of currently incarcerated folks. This year, we are expanding our focus to include people affected by open-air prisons. scalawagmagazine.org/project-abolit…

All this advance media hype about tonight’s release of the Tyre Nichols murder by police is reminding me of late 19th and early 20th newspaper announcements that invited the public to come watch a lynching.

does ending qualified immunity stop police from destroying unhoused camps? or stop the surveillance of activists? or from arresting millions of poor people each year? police violence is much broader than police killings. constitutional policing is a problem, too

It is absolutely insane that people have to donate to the family of Tyre Nichols to cover different costs and expenses while the Memphis PD receives 38% of that city’s budget. We can’t keep crowdsourcing healing while public funds pay for death and destruction.

Do not let the state launder your rage into public policy. There is no legislative solution to police violence. Abolition is the only way out.

hi, reporting in from southern ecuador, i have a terrible sunburn but it was worth it to get a glimpse at the rarest bird i’ve ever seen: the blue-throated hillstar, which was discovered in 2017 and has only been found on a single mountain

This is a big deal. It is exceedingly rare in the U.S. for land defenders & water protectors to be killed on the frontlines of their movements. 2012 to 2021, Global Witness has recorded only a single environmental defender killing in this country. globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/e…

Police killed a forest defender today, someone who loved the forest, someone who fought to protect the earth & its inhabitants. This is why we organize to stop Cop City. And we will. In honor of their life, and the lives of everyone killed and imprisoned by the police.

The fight to stop the construction of a mega cop training center and the destruction of a forest in Atlanta is a microcosm of our future. We can either halt ecological destruction, or the ruling class will invest in endless violence to stop rebellion as they burn the planet down.

The person killed by police in the forest has been identified to ACPC as Manuel Teran. Manuel was a beloved member of the community. They were generous, running a mutual aid group. In our conversations with those that loved them, two words consistently came up: kind, and fierce.

It’s hard to feel like ANYTHING IS REAL AT ALL when the dominant world around you is pretending like thousands of people are not still dying every week in the US from COVID?????????? I am fully Cognitively Dissonanced.
