Remembering the 80s #80s

@antipovertycent Opinion piece by @haveachattabs & @DebKilroy, coordinators of the National Network of Incarcerated & Formerly Incarcerated Women & Girls in NIT highlights how amendment turns welfare into a weapon.

“..When the state disciplines families through welfare cuts, and schools discipline children through suspension, the same carceral logic is at work – coercion dressed up as care. In both cases, punishment replaces support..”

Labor is trying to push through dodgy additions to their social security legislation that are a clear breach of the presumption of innocence and will see children going hungry. No Minister should have power to punish someone just suspected of an offence. https://t.co/zPdk8d9zkH

A new article by @DebKilroy and @haveachattabs in @CroakeyNews Schools are not neutral: they are sites of punishment in the prison pipeline https://t.co/eM45OYMF4X

Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

Let's say it clearly: Police should have no business deciding who gets to eat. #ACAB to the government, filthy fucking snitches Article by @DebKilroy and myself https://t.co/9fSrmQNPcn

@DebKilroy tonight on “Incarceration & Colonisation” panel: “We need to unlearn carceral thinking in our own movements, the urge to punish, to exile, to cancel, and practice accountability grounded in care.”

Beyond punishment and restrictive practices, calls for a more caring society https://t.co/bjHoFXP7Sv #publichealth

Article by @DebKilroy & @haveachattabs “These are sites built on control, warehouses for those our society has deemed too old, too “mad”, too disabled, or too dangerous to be free.” https://t.co/GHn989lzZ0

The worst year on record for Aboriginal deaths in custody in NSW — and still, nothing changes. Confronted with this, the federal Minister is “unable to comment.” Because she has nothing to say beyond empty platitudes that do nothing to stop the deaths. https://t.co/saY8HK2DIP

A beautiful moment with our member, Sam Burns, alongside Rosie O’Donnell, sending love and solidarity to everyone in our Network. A powerful reminder that none of us are defined by our worst mistake: we are whole, worthy, and more than what the system says about us.

Holy shit! In Chicago last night, thousands of residents took to the street to protest fascist authoritarian Trump, the National Guard, and Nazi ICE Gestapo's attempted coup of their city. 🙌💪👏✊️🇺🇸👇

NIAA’s grant assessment criteria around cultural competency requires applicants to demonstrate ‘how your organisation is accepted by the target communities or groups’. I wonder how police services — institutions responsible for Blak deaths in custody — met these criteria?

Giving money to cops is not closing any gaps and just exacerbates the problem for our people.

I will continue to expose the racism of the NT government and its so-called justice system until the harm against First Peoples and our children ends.
