Repeat after me: *the purpose of a system is what it does*
If you wanted a justice system whose purpose was to ensure public safety you would need to make a different system that *does that*
The current carceral system's purpose is racialized oppression. That's what it does.

For the people asking me what I mean by "people over institutions" and "abolish the carceral state":
The American prison industrial complex is a for profit institution built on the systematic oppression and criminalization of racialized people. It should be eliminated.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Shapiro: I just heard from a woman who spoke at the press conference where I announced the disaster declaration. She’s got 30 bucks left on her SNAP card to get her through the holidays here in November…

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.
But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭
