🎧 In this episode, I explore Ray Acheson’s Abolishing State Violence and the radical clarity it brings to our present moment. From policing to prisons, surveillance to borders, war to capitalism, the book exposes how violence is embedded in the structures we are taught to trust. I walk through its core arguments, the melancholy that runs through them, and the hope found in the everyday work of abolition already taking shape around us. This episode is an invitation to imagine a world where safety is built through care, not coercion.
