Keep an eye on this court case to see how far this regime can go with the “anti domestic terrorism” fabrications.

The process is the punishment

Leakers Helped Destroy Deportation Case Against Tufts Student This week, a judge finally dismissed the deporation case, which was built solely on an op-ed, against the Tufts doctoral student.

Thank you, leakers.

People are getting detained even while attempting to leave country.

Why you ask? Because ICE/CBP officers are paid a bonus for every detention.

This is an interesting story @nytimes.com

It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.

Inspiring! Do you feel inspired??

Hot take for leftists:

The only progressive individuals worth ostracizing are the ones who are spreading negativity without putting in the work themselves.

It'd be nice to make an interactive flowchart of things that one can do instead of performative purity testing fellow progressives.

And we'd probably even go to the trouble of making our own stickers, but that requires you giving your payment information and mailing address to someone, and we don't like that. (We go to great lengths to make sure your full IP address isn't logged when you visit the site.)

Also, if anyone else feels inspired to make stickers and let us know they exist, we'd be very excited to see photos of them circulating in the world!

They are apparently hosting a security bingo party. Which sounds like an even more fun way of hosting a security work party.

Smart.

Love that you're helping folks on the front lines get this information!

Keep an eye on this! We already know that the government has had "quick access" to Ring footage, often with little to no oversight or user approval. But they are dead set on turning it into an even more powerful surveillance tool for the state.

Thank god for the artists in social movements

The Prairieland defendants deserve your attention as this piece lays out because it’s going to be this admin’s framework for targeting political enemies that is already echoing out from this case - ie their refusal to remove online posts about Marimar Martinez in Chicago labeling her a terrorist.
