#anti incarcerated

[margoshansons]

For those outside of America going "why don't you fight back" or "don't you guys know what's going on?" let me explain something to you.

We know.

There is nothing a lot of us can do right now.

We are either minorities surrounded by Trump supporters or struggling to make ends meet or (most likely) both.

These first few days are designed to exhaust us. It's the same tactic he used during his first administration. Overwhelm the media and the masses so that the more sinister things he does gets swept under the rug.

And honestly, a lot of us are checked out because we spent the last four years warning people about a second term because our lives were on the line and those we thought cared about us proved they didn't.

And now we're just trying to find some sort of semblance of happiness in this joyless world we're now living in. We fight when we can, we bring attention to what we can, but a lot of us are just fucking exhausted.

So please, cut us some slack. We've been fighting for the last eight years, we still have to fight for the next four.

Right now, survival is the only rebellion we have.

Sometimes a therapist isn't right for you! Here are some red flags for therapists:

Is a therapist, therefore engaging in the inherently abusive psych system and placing themself in a position where they can involuntarily incarcerate you without even a trial or a crime

Forensic psych wards are the worst that prison X psychiatry came up with together. Most people that get locked up there will spend their whole lives being tortured, drugged, violated and abused. a lot of them never get released . People regularly kill themselves in there and suffer brain damage and death because of the medication they get prescribed . over the years and centuries most lose contact to everyone on the "outside" . So tell me again, how psychiatry serves to help us and prisons serve to protect us when so many of us are stigmatized, isolated, oppressed and killed in places like these. Prison abolition 🤝Psych abolition .

Tonight the state of Missouri killed Marcellus Williams.

The nation cried out for his life and we were ignored.

The family of Felicia Picus (the woman he was accused of murdering) asked for a stay of execution. They will never see justice for their loss.

The prosecutor asked for a stay.

But it did nothing.

Governor Mike Parson refused to save Marcellus' life.

The Supreme Court refused to save Marcellus' life.

Marcellus Williams was killed for a crime he did not commit.

Marcellus "Khaliifah" Williams was a Black, Muslim man and he was murdered by a system which was never meant to protect him.

Marcellus is a victim of the unjust justice system of this country.

Say his name.

"Osman Ilgun was arrested in September 2021 and soon transferred to a detention centre 1,500 kilometres away from his home in the Inuit community of Quaqtaq in Quebec's Nunavik region.

At the jail in Amos, Que., he was fed raw food — he says he believes guards stereotypically assumed Inuit people eat raw meat. He said he was forced to quarantine for 28 days, adding he had limited access to showers and phone calls with family during that time.

"My mother, she was so worried because I didn't have access to the phone to tell her what's going on," said Ilgun, who was charged with sexual assault. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

Ilgun was one of the 617 Inuit people admitted to a Quebec jail in the 12 months ending March 31, 2022. That number represents 4.5 per cent of the 13,613 Inuit living in the province — a rate 15 times higher than the average incarceration rate in Quebec, provincial data shows. It's also a rate almost twice as high as that of any other Indigenous group in the province."

Libs are like, "YOU CAN'T LET TRUMP WIN JUST BECAUSE BIDEN IS COMMITTING A GENOCIDE! THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR SINGLE-ISSUE VOTERS", when the fact is that people are already really fucking angry at him for funding two wars during a severe cost of living crisis. Biden's pet dog has already gotten Israel and the US embroiled in a steadily escalating conflict with Houthis and Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, and now Netanyahu is trying to ethnically cleanse two million Gazans by pushing them out of the country into Egypt, one of the countries the US gives billions of aid money to make nice with Israel and help them trap the Palestinians. Egypt is already mad about this (although Idk what they expected lol) and if Israel creates a border conflict with them, Iran might press their advantage and then the whole region descend into an all-out war in which the US is embroiled. At which point oil prices will jump, the US economy get even worse, more tax money funnelled into TWO wars, one of which is due to the genocide.

People might not care about Muslims living thousands of miles away, but they have some very strong opinions about putting food on the table. At this point there's a pretty significant shift in the Black community towards Trump because Biden has INCREASED funding for police, is supporting Cop City that someone DIED protesting, and hasn't made a dent in mass incarceration (the marijuana pardon was fucking hilarious in a depraved way). The right has also been weaponizing Black people's resentment against Latino "illegal aliens" and Biden's "concessions" towards them, when actually his immigration policies have barely been less draconian than Trump's all this time. The reason he's making those concessions is that he has to look more progressive than him, except he's also been slowly escalating ICE crackdowns, keeping kids in cages and building a border wall. So the Latin voters are entirely fed up with him too.

So far, he's lost the Muslim vote, the Latin vote, the Black vote, the youth vote (people of ages 18 to 35 are the most outraged at the genocide in Gaza), and they're hemorrhaging the working class votes. These are the extremely angry and betrayed people the liberals are currently working overtime screaming at about Trump "bringing the death of democracy", like democracy means anything to them compared to losing jobs, money, visas, family members, health (Biden's first and ongoing genocide is disabled people due to his COVID policies), social infrastructure and money.

Y'all said Blue Not Matter Who and elected a career racist and known incompetent who supported segregation, was an architect of mass incarceration, got Clarence Thomas elected to the Supreme Court and spewed rhetoric against Arabs so genocidal that motherfucking Menachem Begin was like "....bro." And you got exactly what you paid for. If Trump gets on the ticket next year he's going to win, and no amount of screaming at people online is going to change that. So I suggest you start organising now. The age of trying to create a revolution at the ballot box is over.

On 9 September, 1971 began the Attica Prison Uprising. Attica is everywhere. Every prison is Attica.

Listen I'm not here to defend the field that began as some cokehead propagating incest theories. However, my favorite genre of discourse is the guys who are only anti psych because they weren't allowed to kill themselves.

i think everyone should at some point meet a few really horrible people and have in depth conversations with them. it really broadens your perspective. u cant dehumanize them anymore when you know them so well, even if they truly have no motive behind their actions other than “i dont care about other people and i want them to be in pain” thats still. a person saying that. you can ask them about their day or things they’re interested in. you can ask them about their philosophy and their upbringing. they arent just a boogeyman that we should keep the death penalty reserved for, you only feel that way because youve reduced them down to their immorality and stopped seeing them as a person.
