Jarrod and Zhana return to talk about their new book "Skyscraper Jails: The Abolitionist Fight Against Jail Expansion in New York City"! We look at how the liberal apparatus used identity politics and divert the abolitionist movement to expand incarceration, and check in how the De Blasio-era plan to closer rikers and replace it with four "community" "justice hubs" has fared under the anti-Woke era of the Adams administration. Lastly, we talk about the the recent "Wildcat" CO strike in state prisons as a broader effort to roll back the reforms of the BLM and other anticarceral struggles, as a preview of the dark plans for expanded incarceration of the Trump 2.0In part 2 of the episode we talk about the counter-revolutoinary history of Tren de Aragua and the Enemy Aliens Act of 1798. to hear it, support the show at http://patreon.com/theantifadaBUY the book from Haymarket: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2454-skyscraper-jailsAdams on new Manhattan jail developments: https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2025/01/18/rikers-manhattan-jail-contractMore info on MH jail redesign: https://newyorkyimby.com/2025/01/new-preliminary-renderings-revealed-for-manhattan-detention-center-at-124-125-white-street-in-chinatown-manhattan.htmlJarrod on upstate prison strike: https://truthout.org/articles/nys-prison-guard-strike-has-roots-in-decades-of-racialized-deindustrialization/Aziz Rana on Consitutional Crisis: https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/constitutional-collapseOur early episode with Nadja Guyot from No New Jails: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-69-abolish-w-30401262 Song: Cock Sparrer - Out on an Island

Sean and Andy chat with a worker organizer at one of the three Alamo Drathouse locations striking against seasonal firings. We cover how Barbenheimer weekend inspired the union effort, frustrating interactions with management, the weird subterranean Wall Street location, some ancient NYC organizing history, service sector organizing, and how a worker-run theater could make the nerdy-niche "experience" far better.All links for union press statements and fundraisers: https://beacons.ai/nycalamounited https://cwa-union.org/news/workers-alamo-drafthouse-fight-back-against-unfair-firingsAlamo now functionally BYOB: https://x.com/cleverrgirrl/status/1891656861939650579Audio: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGGgjriua4s/Song: Dolly Parton - 9 to 5
