Lynching isn't only a thing of the past. This is one of the reasons why we should read Black history.

But what excuse will the cops use to round up Black men to keep them in their place in society?? I’m sure they’ll come up with something. #thenewjimcrow

This is so fucking gross. A white supremacist from South Africa comes to this country and absolutely thrives…that tells you all you need to know about Amerikkka! #Musk #WhiteSupremacy #Apartheid #TheNewJimCrow

If that's not enough identification to prove that he's a US citizen, imagine what's going to happen in states with voter ID laws during the mid-terms. #TheNewJimCrow #VoterSuppression

Since I first heard the term, #theNEWJimCrow, I've hated it.
Raises my anxiety.
Makes me #MAD&AshamedAmerica.
The term alone, not-to-mention the book and conversations, make it crystal clear how bad we've been.
How bad, worse really, we continue to be.

This was informative and infuriating. I learned a lot and it was fascinating about our incarceration system. It's crazy.

They banned The New Jim Crow because it told the truth that America didn’t end racial caste, it redesigned it. #BannedBooks #TheNewJimCrow #MichelleAlexander #MassIncarceration #TheReceipts #SmartBrownGirl

Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow was banned because it dared to connect slavery, segregation, and incarceration. Her message still stands:
“We have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.”

AI can’t undo the damage, but it can force history to answer for itself. I put Ronald Reagan in the interrogation room to talk Nicaragua and the Sandinistas; the conversation the War on Drugs never wanted to have. #irancontra #warondrugs #addiction #publichealth #thenewjimcrow #harmreduction

4-5 star book, highly informative. I am unconvinced that prisons must be abolished, it just won't work. But, I am more aware of the importance of "govt. forgiveness," and urgent reforms, although the book was indeed written in 2010.

This is really egregious.

There's a "poll tax" for people who are low-income ex-convicts. It may even be 900 USD in 2010 dollars. (Applies to: felony)

Predatory, classist debt collection. A poor person can be expected to

Plea deals for felony crimes are absolutely catastrophic for innocent people and must not be done, as hard as it may be.

The details are horrifying about just how many civil rights they lose and how easy it is to become homeless and lose children/family from there.

Just finished The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander (shoutout to Ian Bohen for the old recommendation). I thought I understood racial injustice. I didn’t. This book is a gut punch in the best way. Eye-opening, enraging, necessary. READ IT!
