We've teamed up with @nonhumanrights.bsky.social to sue Ridglan Farms to protect the dogs that remain. Ridglan must relinquish its license to sell dogs by July 1, 2026. The lawsuit seeks to protect the thousands of dogs that remain from unlawful cruelty. More here www.channel3000.com/news/lawsuit...

This expansion of conspiracy and group liability comes directly on the heels of the Cop City prosecution and years after the J20 case in which the State has become obsessed with attacking political opponents.

The Feds Want to Make It Illegal to Even Possess an Anarchist Zine Daniel Sanchez is facing federal charges for what free speech advocates say is a clear attack on the First Amendment.

The Praireland case is chilling and is yet another warning sign of what is to come. The Trump administration is treating antifa as a domestic terror cell and using political beliefs and zines to suggest guilt.

4) increased security, incl. Marshalls behind each defendant, 5) comparing the defendants to the IRA, and 6) requiring only one attorney speak or make objections in court (despite there being co-defs).

Deeply disturbing rulings from the bench in the Praireland trial. 1) Fast-tracked trial over objections, 2) forcing withdrawal of a defense attorney because he was not "local" enough (despite being barred in the approp. federal court), 3) fines for attorneys related to standard discovery requests

A judge has dismissed 11 charges, including an ecoterrorism charge, 2 women accused of freeing hundreds of mink from a PA fur farm. They still face decades in jail on the remaining charges. Full press release here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

WOMEN are doing the vast majority of the front-line organizing against ICE, the vast majority of the front-line reporting, the vast majority of the legal observing, the vast majority of the care work, the vast majority of the corking and safety volunteering. It's so often women who are being killed.

Cop City Is Everywhere The movement to stop Cop City was one of the most important social struggles of the Biden era. Its trajectory tells us a lot about the challenges we confront today.

"The fight to #StopCopCity set the template for the social struggles that will play out under the second Trump administration. On one side, a political class unified in favor of repression unhampered by precedent or law; on the other side, a popular movement employing a wide array of strategies."

UC Berkeley animal rights activist convicted in β€˜chicken rescue’ trial A UC Berkeley senior has been found guilty of taking four chickens from aΒ Petaluma-area poultry processing facility, a verdict that figures to send shock waves through the animal rights movement.

β€œIt’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.”

Disappointing verdict, but we fought like hell and will keep fighting like hell.

Contributor: Why rescuing animals should never be a crime Saving a dog from a hot car is a brave act. Would you say the same about freeing chickens from a factory farm?

Great op-ed in the LA Times by Matthew Liebman and Kristen Stilt regarding why the necessity defense should be applied to rescuing animals from suffering.

We're two days into our defense of Zoe Rosenberg, with trial expected to last through the end of October (πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«).

We are proud to represent one of the RICO defendants in the #CopCity trial. Echoing the prosecution of the SHAC 7, this case aimed to treat collective organizing as a criminal conspiracy. Now, a judge is poised to dismiss the prosecution's primary charge abcnews.go.com/Business/wir...
