I wrote about the suppression of labor, the instrumentalizing of revolutionary language for counter revolutionary means, and the art market as class warfare

An essay from last year about how Darrell Powell found hope and joy from his favorite team while serving a life sentence.
I’m Watching The Knicks’ Playoff Run From Prison
The Knicks haven't won a championship in over 50 years, but their recent success gives me hope as I seek clemency from life without parole.

"Perhaps prison would have persisted this way forever. Perhaps our granite hearts and iron wills would have never crumbled. Perhaps the prison mentality, that we be cold and heartless, would have endured.
Perhaps. But then there were kittens."

When Kittens Came to My Prison, I Had Not Petted One in 15 Years
I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass.

“Overemphasizing law is about returning to a normal where the screams were more easily muffled, distant, and ignorable for many.”
Legal forms of resistance and litigation strategies aren't the only ways to fight. Thinking so misrepresents the past and weakens the present. It also reveals a strong naivete about the supposed objectivity of oppressive laws. I wrote about it for @prismreports.org. prismreports.org/2025/04/29/t...
Another way out: Doing what’s right isn't all about what’s legal
Overemphasizing what’s legal and illegal is about returning to a normal where the screams were more easily muffled, distant, and ignorable for many

we need to be mass withdrawing our labor and resources from all of these organizations that have decided (have been deciding) that the way forward is to hide, to stay quiet, to retract, to acquiesce at precisely the moment they need to be mobilizing their resources to fight. hours spent reforming
