examples of what the FBI included as evidence of "Antifa terrorism" in the Prairieland case: -Narcan spray -Anarchist tattoos -a highlighted copy of Emergent Strategy -a zine made of a 2019 review of Hereditary and Midsommar from @reproutopia.bsky.social -First Aid Kits -seeds for garden vegetables
Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

30 years for moving a box of zines. Des Sanchez Estrada was not even at the noise demo that led to this. The state is attempting to make an example of these anti-fascist political prisoners. We can expect the crackdowns to continue & escalate. Take this seriously. Don't back down

Seeing lots of people commenting on what the Feds are doing to the ICE protestors in Minnesota with “This will go nowhere”. And comparing it to Broadview. This may be true, but not everyone has been so lucky. The media isn’t covering MOST of these cases. People are unaware of what’s happening.

Federal repression is heating up. Organizers in multiple states have been raided and arrested in the past week. This is surely not the end of this terror. The state wants to make us afraid. Solidarity and action is the only way through this.
