The Profit Motive - Robin Bernstein & Nicole R. Fleetwood - Inquest
A recent book unveils the shockingly long history of for-profit prisonsβand the equally long history of incarcerated people demanding compensation for their exploited labor.
TODAY: Nicole Fleetwood and I are in dialogue about profit-driven incarceration, #prison labor, the art and intellectual work of incarcerated people, and of course William Freeman. Thanks to @inquest.bsky.social & @adammcgee.bsky.social for so much incisive critique of the #prisonindustrialcomplex.

βTheir Dreams, Their Rights, and Their Love" | The History Project
As of February 2025, the original βTheir Dreams, Their Rights, and Their Love:" An LGBTQ+ Audio Tour of Beacon Hill and Downtown Boston is no longer available on the National Park Service website.
If you would like to take the National Park Service's audio walking tour of Boston LGBTQ+ history, it's public domain and @queerhistoryboston.bsky.social has made it publicly available again, despite efforts by the Trump administration to scrub it (and us).

Almost AntiβDeath Penalty | Carol Steiker | INQUEST
Bidenβs incomplete slate of commutations saved lives but lost the moral argument.
Joe Biden made history when he commuted the sentences of just about everyone on federal death row. But he lost the moral argument against the death penalty when he denied mercy to some, writes Carol Steiker. https://inquest.org/almost-anti-death-penalty/
