Regimes of Antiblackness The first grade teacher posts on facebook that she thinks of her students as “future criminals.” We must connect the birth industry to the prison industry.  The machine that degrades and denies and eviscerates reproductive justice to the machine that incarcerates.  Womb to tomb all over again.
