Colin Kaepernick put together a pretty decent collection about Police/Prison Abolition.  I wrote a review for Against the Current arguing that the book is weak on class analysis, and explaining why I think that is a problem.  I should stress, though, that it represents practically a unique contribution to the abolitionist literature, in that it is extremely accessible and seems to be designed for study groups.

Order the book from Haymarket Press, and start a study group today!

My new essay in Truthout looks at the tales the Portland Police spun about a mass shooting, and situates that episode as part of a decades-long pattern of facilitating right-wing violence.

Update:  Solidarity has re-printed the article.

If you ever wanted to hear a robot read my collection Fire the Cops, you now have that option.

Thanks, internet!

Lux Éditeur has just released a collection titled 1312 Raisons d’Abolir la Police.  It looks great.  I wish I could read it!

Alongside heavy-hitters like Alex Vitale, Dylan Rodriguez, and Mark Neocleous, I also contributed an essay, “Á Quoi Doit Servir le Copwatching?”  It is a translation of “Making Copwatch Matter,” which anglophones can find in Fire the Cops.
