in reading about the passing of Albert Woodfox this week — rest in power — I keep being struck by the plain facts: 45 years of solitary in Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary — the largest US max security prison — called Angola for the slave plantation it was built atop.

@TeenVogue Shon Faye said on instagram, “The specific circumstances of her killing are yet to become clear but the context – the context is foul and evil and entirely the fault of the adult world.” highly recommend Faye's The Transgender Issue https://t.co/DeNaDPDMgf
