THREAD. Many progressives are not paying enough attention to what is happening with Cop City in Atlanta. The level of state violence against local people organizing to protect an essential forest from becoming a training center for militarized cops is escalating.

Do you support non-prescription access to naloxone (the opioid overdose reversal medication)? Do you think naloxone should be available over-the-counter? If so, the FDA wants to hear from you by 11:59pm EST January 17th! federalregister.gov/document…

I have experienced involuntary hospitalization. Even with the loving support of friends and family, even with health insurance: it was the most traumatic experience of my life. Violence that you cannot comprehend. It's a big reason why I became an abolitionist. This is evil.

This is a federal felony committed by the cops. It’s happens every single day, but it’s very important to understand. Pay specific attention to what they do to the man’s father:
cis/het women's desire to educate their cis/het partners is fake feminism because it's almost always at the risk of safety and care of their queer friends

this is, of course, a subtweet.
#ADOC staff and guards also have a Facebook group where they make fun of inmates and talk about intentionally starving them and providing the same meals over and over with cruel glee. instagram.com/p/CjYQzIYOgdU/…

Replying to @UR_Ninja @ALCorrections
The ADOC has admitted that prisoner labor is necessary for its prisons to function properly. They wrote in a press release Wednesday that “these work stoppages have affected food services given that inmate workers make up a large part of the facility support workforce.”
