An 1807 law banned the African slave trade. In Georgia, its enforcement machinery "functioned as a slave market with extra steps—one where the money went straight into the governor's budget." Part 2, on the men who owned the ground under Cop City: 🔗 hotel-florida.ghost.io/the-privateer/

i don't know what i expected to find when i dug back into cop city land research, but it wasn't a guy who stole 110 enslaved africans from a spanish subject living in havana and then told the supreme court all about it

Today in the newsletter, the first half of the story of Samuel Philbrick, the privateer who used his half of the site that is now Cop City to raise his station from hired hand to slave trader. hotel-florida.ghost.io/the-privateer/

“Two courses for the fall of 2026 were canceled outright, while several more had to alter their syllabi to comply. Professors teaching those courses told The Chronicle they weren’t provided with any rationale for why their “exception requests” were partially or fully denied.”

i'm posting a story this week that involves a lot of transcriptions of historical documents and trying to figure out the best way to make those transcriptions available for other researchers to use 🤔

This weekend is the 90th anniversary of the fascist military coup that eventually overthrew the Second Spanish Republic. International volunteers filled the gap when western democracies refused to aid the Republic. The 3000-strong Abraham Lincoln Brigade was the first integrated U.S. armed unit.

New series: I'm tracing the two lots of Georgia ground (the ones that became Cop City) through the 19th century, one owner at a time. It starts with William McIntosh, who was executed for selling land that was never his to sell. 🔗 hotel-florida.ghost.io/the-broker

Oh he was *AT* at Jan 6.

i sat down to write about cop city and ended up writing about the men who owned the land before atlanta did. the first installment of "american property, american violence" is out today hotel-florida.ghost.io/the-broker/

this is about a feeling of safety, not safety itself, which is tressie’s point in the first place. feeling safe does not equal actual individual or community safety. abolitionists are right to argue that we have to learn to distinguish between these things

Don't let copaganda fool you — police violence is not tied to their safety. In 2025, the vast majority of killings began with police responding to suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported.

okay but also the federal government just sentenced a bunch of people (including some of my friends) to 30-100 years in prison for doing things like having a book club, so… www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

As of Monday, we'll have processed 90% of orders for these benefit zine packages! That's 3,675 criminalized zines and 245 Prairieland letter writing kits shipped to recipients across the US, Canada, England, and Ireland.

i researched too many things and had to start writing a new series. it’s about the men who once owned the land that is now cop city in atlanta hotel-florida.ghost.io/american-pro...

“The story of how Marion & Kate Corbaley tricked the studio executives into paying Lorna Moon $7,500, while reviving Marie Dressler’s career, should be a legend in the history of female networking in the motion picture business” —from the @wfpproject.bsky.social wfpp.columbia.edu/pioneer/ccp-...

first and foremost, black overseers defang black militants. puerto rican liberationists. native american liberationists. and then the white left. but black overseers are a big problem.

Government Says Terabytes of Signal Chats are Central to the Case Against Minnesota 15

Prairieland defendants received over 562 years in federal prison — the longest sentence a U.S. court has ever given to a group of political anarchist defendants. A Thread 🧵 in quoted post.

“The raid was part of a sweeping effort by the federal government and far-right media figures to spin up a vast far-left conspiracy casting antifascist activists as well-organized extremists who pose a threat to public safety.”

this morning i am using my free will to bully atlanta mayor andre dickens in the pages of the book i've just started writing. i simply love this for me.

Fellow authors: without any context what's the first line of your current WIP? mine is: I was face to face with the only person I had touched other than my husband in 3 months, and the frame of his rifle was digging into my chest hard enough to bruise.

so i'm neck deep in cop city history for a writing project and i just learned that intrenchment creek park is STILL CLOSED because of ryan millsap's heinous ass????

19 days left for @muscledistribution.bsky.social to raise another 30K to support this restoration initiative - theirs is a pretty reasonable ask for 4 long-unavailable films + helps a trans-owned company stay afloat while doing important cultural/archival work - www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

sometimes i find research documents i compiled in years prior and i'm always like damn who was this bitch and how did she have so much time on her hands

Last week, the Supreme Court gave Trump the ability to deport 350,000 Haitian immigrants living in the US under TPS. What wasn't reported on was how the case can be directly linked to one of the most overt nazi organizations in the US right now; Blood Tribe. Read an article I wrote about it here;

i think one of the fastest paths to becoming a full blown abolitionist is trying to send any form of communication to a loved one in jail. i have never interacted with anything else more radicalizing.

you know i'm writing because i'm also crying

“The Prairieland cases should be understood as the government’s effort to heroize ICE in the face of community defense efforts to stop mass deportations, and to shift the blame for political violence from federal officers to the left.” — @melissagiragrant.com for @newrepublic.com

of all the things i learned while researching hotel-florida.ghost.io/from-backfir..., this detail is the one I can’t stop thinking about

trying to make sense of the prairieland sentencings of my friends, i assembled a partial timeline of legal repression of leftists and how things have changed in the past 20 years hotel-florida.ghost.io/from-backfir...

my dentist just called me a “sensitive flower” 😇

The war on protest does not always begin with mass arrests. Sometimes it begins with a city (ATLANTA) publishing the names and addresses of 100,000+ people who signed a petition, sending a message about what dissent may cost.

Show up for Ines! Ines Soto will receive sentencing on July first. Like their partner Liz, they are expected to receive fifty years. Please come and offer your support against this injustice. WHERE: Eldon B Mahon court house 501 west tenth Fort Worth, texas PLEASE show up (1/2)

Savanna once taught me that there are more than 35,000 sub-types of wasps and hornets. There are so many in fact, that at some point, biologists just stopped bothering with counting so the total may never be known.

actually jd vance repeated a horrific and racist lie made up by literal neo-nazis, which tbh makes the point below even starker newrepublic.com/post/185950/...

With more attention on Prairieland, ppl should share the fundraisers! There are 20 state cases, incl. TERRORISM charges in TX https://bsky.app/profile/dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social/post/3moz66j6y2kwa View our evidence deepdives https://prairielanddefendants.com/what-really-happened-at-prairieland/

i am finally scanning and transcribing my trial notes from the previous time that texas tried to call my friends an "antifa street gang" in a fort worth courtroom :(

i started researching a story on the expansion of terrorism charges against leftist movements since 2006 and now i would like to lie down and never get up

Could not stop thinking of this beautiful article. Please give it a read: hotel-florida.ghost.io/the-seeds-of...
