I Want to Know Why, Motherfuckers: Queer Refugees Shackled to Bangui, a Five-Grand Ballot Bribe, a Planet on Broil, a Crook in Texas, and the Patriarchy Riding Shotgun With the Pepper Spray

A fearless breakdown of queer refugees shackled and deported, election bribery, climate collapse, and patriarchal violence—rooted in survival and resistance against state cruelty.

"Texas bans 10,827 book titles from prisoners, including The Color Purple, Alex Cross, and ‘Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky. Banned categories include books that facilitate an escape and criminal schemes; demonstrate how to manufacture weapons, explosives, or drugs; incite violence; and contain nudity or sex." via https://www.texastribune.org/2026/05/28/texas-prison-ban-hardback-used-books/ #books #texas #BannedBooks

Inmates say the policy unfairly punishes them — and note that prison staff also bring in contraband.
