"[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...

Be aware of this new order, it could be dangerous for those who are part of a non-profit, community organizers, those working on the upcoming election, pretty much anyone. If you don't support this regime you are a target. Share everywhere so the public understands fascism is here. #CommunityIsPower

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
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.
i 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 people who show up outside detention centers, who defend forests and animals, who organize bail funds and drive people to demonstrations, are not doing it because they expect it to be free, writes @hannahcrileyy.bsky.social.
The Trump Administration Wants the Prairieland Sentences to Scare You Into Silence
NSPM-7 is the architecture of a system designed to make dissent unthinkable, but it won’t work.

that ideology is opposing state violence. half a century in prison for daring to protest racist state violence. that’s the message.
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.

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

Ten years ago, as car burglaries rose, the crypto billionaire Chris Larsen started installing private cameras around San Francisco. He had no idea how far his influence would go.
