If we got rid of every single private prison in the U.S., we'd still have mass criminalization. Doesn't mean that private prisons shouldn't be shut down, it just means that public prisons drive incarceration in the U.S.

I feel like the problem of the courts looms so large, threatening everything we care about from reproductive rights to democracy to debt forgiveness to climate change!

So I really couldn't be more excited to be collaborating with
@peoplesparity.bsky.social on this open course/reading group!

I've been wanting to write this for a while, about what the university "free speech wars" (today, plagiarism wars) are really about. Though right wing billionaires are driving the thing, the problems, and solutions, run much deeper. Welcome your thoughts.
