A screencap of the show gilmore girls where Paris and Rory are at a graduation ceremony with the caption "Abolition compels us to look at how people are struggling, understand the organized abandonment that characterizes so much of everyday life under capitalism, and understand that such organized abandonment is maintained, bordered, and boundaried by the forces of organized violence."
