Incarcerated people deserve to have their voices heard. Tom Gores, owner of Securus (and also owner of the Detroit Pistons πŸ‘€) must disagree. Writers who are locked up already have to make due with horrendous UI and a lack of word processors as it is, this is just cruelty for cruelty's sake.

"Today Securus, a predatory prison communication co, silenced journalists. With no warning they deleted all drafts of writing. Years of work. Everything gone. We're no longer able to save drafts. Now near impossible to write."

Prison profiteer Securus has removed the ability of the use of drafts on their barely functional ratchet tablets and wiped out all existing drafts. From award winning journalist Christopher Blackwell:

Pack the court Drag defense is not a crime Tuesday September 19, 830am 100 n Calhoun Street Fort Worth Texas 4th floor - 48th district court

The Christian fascist new Columbia movement are suing 14 drag defenders in retaliation for the consistent countering of NCM's transphobic protests. 

On September 19th the court will hear arguments on NCM's temporary injunction that seeks to undermine privacy when protesting in Tarrant county. 

If granted the injunction forces a restraining order against the Defendants and will allow NCM to demand any protestor to remove face coverings if they suspect they may be one of the drag defenders named.

A blackblogs or noblogs site is free. Most of the themes are WordPress so it's pretty easy to organize how you want, use tags to make it searchable, etc.

Accepted submissions are not limited to political in nature. All artforms, including fiction are welcome. The very nature of prisoners of the state is political, and every voice is important.

Butterfly flying over prison in flames

Butterfly flying over prison in flames

We are the swallowtail distro collective. In forming, it is our intention to connect current, former, and prospective prisoners as well as their family and collaborators with radical resources to combat the prison-industrial complex's tactical destruction of autonomy & community.
