TIYA REMIXED: Hell Is a Collective Condition with Dylan Rodriguez
Surprise! It's another installment of TIYA REMIXED, in which I re-edit classic interviews from the archives as refreshers for fans and great introductory episodes for new folks.
Dylan Rodriguez is a founding member of Critical Resistance, an organization that for decades has provided leadership and resources in the movement to abolish the prison industrial complex. As importantly, he's a down-to-earth dude who could absolutely handle a heaven of sushi buffets every day.
Content warning: copaganda, collectivity vs. individualism, Geronimo Ji-Jaga, humility, rude baby.

If you're looking for an introduction to abolition, I highly recommend Critical Resistance's "Resource Guide for Teaching and Learning Abolition."
Dylan's books:
White Reconstruction: Domestic Warfare and the Logics of Genocide
Abolition for the People: The Movement for a Future Without Policing & Prisons (edited by Colin Kaepernick)
