@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate
"We are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating."

In the 70s & 80s, feminists connected violence against women to a critique of state violence. Emily Thuma @haymarketbooks.org traces how this anti-carceral feminism got hijacked by tough-on-crime lawmakers—then revived in the modern prison abolition movement.
Feminism Against the Carceral State - Emily L. Thuma - Inquest
Seventies-era anti-carceral feminism opposed “tough on crime” policymaking and played an important role in the making of today’s prison abolition movement.

A lot of folks are waiting for someone/thing to save them or tell them what to do. People don't realize you can start a protest, make your own fliers, practice mutual aid, write a newsletter. You don't need permission. You can be creative. You don't have to do things how they've always been done.

Black anti-fascists argued the Atlantic world’s history of racial violence belied the novelty of intra-European fascism. Speaking at the Second International Writers Congress in 1937, Langston Hughes declared: “We Negroes in America do not have to be told what fascism is in action. We know.”
The Long Shadow of Racial Fascism - Boston Review
A debate is roiling about the aptness of comparing Trump to European fascists. But radical Black thinkers have long argued that racial slavery created its own unique form of American fascism.

Over 2.5 billion years ago, trillions of tiny Cyanobacteria spent hundreds of millions of years creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere on Earth.
Take a deep breath. How are you using your oxygen today? Be present. Give freely. Care for others. Make your ancient microbial cousins proud. Exhale. Repeat.
