"[W]ho are the radicals? The people NSPM-7 names as terrorists imagine a world with fewer cages in it, a place where no one can be disappeared from a parking lot or shot while driving with their toddler in the back seat. The government calls that extremism." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I'm old enough to remember when the 2023 Cop City RICO indictment felt like a harbinger of worse things to come. It's getting even worse y'all. Very important piece on how it works.
Hannah Riley Fernandez@hannahcrileyy.bsky.social · yesterdayi think that everyone should know about the ways this government is trying to criminalize dissent and protest -- not because it should scare us into inaction, but because understanding how it works is how we stop it from working. wrote about it for @thenation: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The Trump Administration Wants the Prairieland Sentences to Scare You Into Silence

that ideology is opposing state violence. half a century in prison for daring to protest racist state violence. that’s the message.
DFW Support Committee@dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social · last mo.Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”
please read this statement written by Benjamin "Champagne" Song and share as far and wide as you can: https://prairielanddefendants.com/defendant-writings/statement-by-benjamin-champagne-song/
Savanna Batten and Autumn Hill were both just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor.
the Prairieland defendants (who did a noise demo outside of an ICE facility) are getting fifty year sentences right now. absolutely unreal. far longer than any January 6 convictions

The totally illegal politicization of the federal civil service is under way, starting with people in the most senior roles. This is dangerous, and I truly believe people are going to die because of this politicization. When it reaches lower ranks, it will also be union busting.
