During the birdsite's heyday, it was a place where we engaged with other people who cared about sending #books to incarcerated #readers. We followed and retweeted #prison book programs in the US, Canada, UK, and France. We also chatted with many of our volunteers and supporters.

We love Mastodon, but are finding it a bit lonely. We would love to follow other groups that send books to people in #prisons. Does anyone have recommendations for whom we should follow?

Boosts welcome.

Trois détenus palestiniens sur quatre sont des civils, selon l’armée israélienne elle-même

Les 6 000 Palestiniens arrêtés à #Gaza et détenus dans des conditions épouvantables dans les #prisons israéliennes ne sont en rien considérés, dans leur grande majorité, comme des «combattants», révèle une enquête de notre partenaire +972 Magazine réalisée avec Local Call et le «Guardian».

"This is a Network of feminist and transfeminist organizations that inhabit Abya Yala with diversity and the challenge of articulating our multiple perspectives. Here we converge as collectives, organizations, and projects from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Venezuela, where we come weaving with needle and thread the questions that keep our trajectories and journeys in motion, with practices that arise from the discomfort with punitive Patriarchal Justice and the network of violences it brings together: the appropriation and exploitation of bodies, territories, and knowledges in order to generate privileges and the accumulation of wealth."

many deaths at Auschwitz-Birkenau* were caused by MEDICAL NEGLECT. fascist scientific ideology is based on #eugenics. nazi doctors would create pandemics by letting infections of tuberculosis, dysentery, malaria, “take their course” across the camps:

"When asked how it was possible the German people ultimately allowed the Nazi Party to rise to power, to take the nation to war, and ultimately to commit the Holocaust, we need not look further that what is happening in our name, using our tax dollars, this very moment in the U.S."

"Even though the United States of America is an empire in decline thanks to the self-destructive policies of the oligarchy, we can take comfort in knowing we’ll have the world’s first 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention facility.

Who needs public schools, affordable health, reliable infrastructure, and steady jobs when you can instead invest that money into private prisons?"
