This roundtable is a place-based conversation on Black anarchism, transfeminism, and transmisogynoir with edxi betts, NZ Suékama, and g, three Black trans femme activists, organizers, and independent scholars. Moving deftly between topics like Marxism, Afro-pessimism, and abolition, this roundtable outlines problems of co-optation within radical-movement work and critiques Eurocentric modes of knowledge production.

Trans of Color Entrapments and Carceral Coalitions

In Los Angeles from 2014 to 2015, in the span of just five months the premature and violent deaths of three…
Abolitionist Broken Windows and the Violence of Power Relations
Intolerability, at its core, is a state of not being able to endure any longer-a kind of impossible weight which aims only to break the bearer. What does it mean to expose that which is intolerable? Is it a call to reform the intolerable to a state of bearability for some momentary span of time? Is it rationalizing the conditions of intolerability as circumstantial and/or unprovable? Is it developing and reproducing institutions, infrastructure, …
Deviant Care for Deviant Futures
This article introduces the concept of carceral care as those public-facing “do-better” penal practices, policies, and material actions used to ward off future investigation of underlying institutional violences of carceral spaces. As a model for denaturalizing carceral care, time, space, and the perpetuity of reform, it explores theories of deviant care, mutual aid, and QTBIPoC radical relationalism. It investigates how inhabiting deviance is a …
