Anarchist Prisoner Hridindu Roychowdhury transferred to new prison
Political Prisoner Hridindy Roychowdhury has been transferred to a new prison- a low security prison in Illinois. He also has an upcoming birthday on February 24th so feel free to shoot him a note or birthday wishes.
Hridindu Roychowdhury is an anarchist from Madison, Wisconcin who was sentenced to 90 months in federal prison for attacking a building with a Molotov cocktail in the wake of the leak of the draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overruling Roe v. Wade.

Hi, I’m Ro! I’m a self-loving antizionist Jew and a self-hating lawyer. 
I live on unceded Interior Salish land in the Pacific Northwest of what’s known to some, for now, as the US with my wife & our dogs. 🏳️🌈 Our family is WASP, Ashkenazi & Nicaraguan. 🥰 I practice deportation defense and I’m an abolitionist.
✨Find me enjoying hiking & biking & reading & writing & music & collage.✨
🏔️For hiking & snowshoeing I’m usually somewhere in the PNW, preferably going to the top of something or at least seeing some cool trees or rocks or moss. I’m a bike commuter! 🚲
📚Favorite novels include Babel by R.F. Kuang, Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, No.6 by Asano Atsuko, Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zi & Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich. Favorite nonfiction includes Fresh Banana Leaves by Jessica Hernández, The Other Slavery by Andres Reséndez & Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown. And my favorite manga ever is Fullmetal Alchemist - unbeatable IMO (although I am loving The Summer Hikaru Died these days). I’m rodile on Storygraph.
✏️Current writing projects include a novel about lesbian ecoterrorists & an amorphous story about an anarchist-reformist enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies? situationship.
🎶Music I love includes Mitski, The Muslims, The Gits, Left at London & Doechii. I also love swimming and sleeping and petting my dogs!!!! And persimmons 😅
English, español, 普通话都可以！I usually follow (back) if it seems like we’d vibe. I’m honestly a nice person but I’m angry all the time. I like emojis and ampersands and alt text. This post is very long but I wasn’t sure what to include & I believe it’ll get cut so I hope it’s not too annoying! I am hoping to connect with more people on here. Here are a bunch of tags to either filter this post out or find it! :)

New York Women’s Prison Forces People to Go Without Showers or Recreation
The conditions at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility are akin to solitary confinement, local experts say — an apparent violation of state law.

Today in Labor History January 26. 1682: Benjamin Lay was born in England. Lay emigrated to the Provine of Pennsylvania, in British North America, where he became a radical Quaker activist against slavery, and for the rights of women and animals. He was a prolific writer on abolition and his “All Slave-Keepers that Keep the Innocent in Bondage” was one of the first abolitionist works published in the 13 Colonies. In an act of protest, he once stood outside a Quaker meeting in the middle of winter, barefoot, and without any coat. When passersby expressed concern for his health, he asked why they were not concerned for the health of the slaves, who were forced to work in the snow dressed as he was. He also once kidnapped the child of slaveholders temporarily to demonstrate to them how it felt when one’s relatives were stolen and sold. In another act of protest, this time in front of his Quaker brethren, he quoted the Bible saying that all men should be equal under God, and then plunged a sword into a Bible containing a bladder of blood-red pokeberry juice, which spattered over those nearby. He refused to consume any products made from slave labor. He was a vegetarian. He was roughly four feet tall, with a hunchback. He referred to himself as “Little Benjamin.” During the 2012 Occupy Movement, the Occupy encampment in Jenkintown, PA, where Lay was buried, activists renamed the town square as “Benjamin Lay Plaza.”

Just got another letter returned. This is the last one before I switched to the address in Texas where they are scanning the mail.
The State of Alabama is making no attempt to let folks know why they are returning mail.
None of us have heard from Willie since they started scanning all the mail. So we have no idea if he is getting any of it.
There are lots of issues with thinking a 68 year old who has been imprisoned for over 40 years would be able to figure out how to use a tablet.
Even if that isn't a problem, the guards probably don't care if a gang takes over and forces others to pay to use the tablets.
Other violations like that have been documented for years. Prisoners are forced to pay to sleep in their own beds, and if they can't afford that they sleep on the floor in hallways.

Today in Labor History December 25, 1831: The Great Jamaican Slave Revolt, the largest slave uprising in the British West Indies, began on this date. Samuel Sharpe, a black Baptist deacon, led the revolt of 60,000 enslaved people. The 11-day uprising began as a General Strike, but quickly turned violent. 14 whites and 207 enslaved black people died in the siege. However, another 340 rebels were executed afterward. The rebels had been inspired by the abolitionist movement in London and had intended to call for a peaceful uprising. The rebellion was depicted in Andrea Levy's 2010 novel, “The Long Song,” and in Herbert de Lisser’s The 1929 novel “The White Witch of Rosehall.”
