Amazing history lesson by @rachelbarkow.bsky.social at the Bob Moses Conference about policing, mass incarceration, and the evolution of pre-trial detention in the US. The system is rigged to ensure slavery never ended in this country.

"How do we design space, how do we design systems? The platitudes exist, but the exlusions are still there... Now we have all kinds of educational technologies being incorporated into our schools with the same inequities." Ruja Benjamin "The New Jim Code" #BobMosesConference

"We must understand that rights, once they have been established, can always be taken away... there's no final victory. Even when you move in the direction of a real democracy, there's always a need to argue for the vision you are moving toward." STEVE HAHN, Professor at NYU
