DS9 time. Tonight, I'm watching two of the most politically radical episodes in Trek history: Past Tense parts I and II. Mostly set in 2024, Past Tense centers on "The Bell Riots" — an Attica-style rebellion that makes the future depicted in Star Trek possible. #StarTrekDay

@DanEsrey @dereckapurnell I loved Becoming Abolitionists too! I also highly recommend: Prison by Any Other Name by Maya Schenwar and Victoria Law, “Prisons Make Us Safer”: And 20 Other Myths about Mass Incarceration by Victoria Law, and We Do This Til' We Free Us by Mariame Kaba.
