heat waves can be deadly for prisoners
the MDOC chooses to respond to illness with administrative segregation and repression, imagine what they will do in response to heat-related illness, exhaustion, and possible death
abolish prisons, free them all

The Northeast is under a heat dome. The U.S. remains the world’s largest oil & gas producer, and more than 50 countries are beginning to chart a different course.

More problems at Women's Huron Valley prison: Increase number of complaints about mold, medical neglect, rashes, breathing problems, sewage, scabies, retaliation, delayed treatment, and women being ignored after filing grievances or seeking help. metrotimes.com/news/after-de…

A story that demonstrates escalation and further calcification of fascism in the present. Today, look in the mirror and ask yourself what’s your next move knowing where we’re at? The whole is getting deeper so the resolve has to match. The strategies and the action more pointed.

Dangerously high heat and humidity are predicted across Michigan this week, with conditions expected to continue through the holiday weekend. wxyz.com/news/health/ask-dr-…
"The air outside feels hotter because of the combined humidity. Such conditions slow the rate at which you sweat, so your body's natural cooling system struggles to keep up."
extremely dangerous for prisoners in MI, where prisons often don't have AC and cells are heat boxes
Heat index show 'feel-like' temps topping 100 degrees. What it means freep.com/story/news/local/m…
check on family, friends, unhoused neighbors, and PRISONERS! heat waves don't stop behind the prison walls!
An #ExtremeHeatWatch has been issued for ALL of SE Michigan. This will likely become an #ExtremeHeatWarning as we near Tuesday. Not everyone has air conditioning, so check on your family, friends, and neighbors to make sure they are staying cool. ~ Marisa
