Being innocent is expensive as hell. We need to raise about $2000 to order court transcripts for my upcoming trial and are giving away some stuff to help meet that need. Please share!

"What need have I of all your sacrifices?" says the Lord...
Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is offensive to Me...
Learn to do good. Seek justice. Aid the oppressed. Uphold the rights of the orphan. Plead for the widow."
Isaiah 1.11 to 17
Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is offensive to Me...

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

The bigger story following the designation of four antifascist groups as SDGT’s, with the intent of FTO designation, is that a far-right grifting nazi-sympathizer living in London, who is directly responsible for people being murdered and assaulted, has influence over federal government policy now.

The Neo-Nazi Groyper War to capture the Republican Party is a good example of "network war." A group existing mostly online ("in the cloud) takes power in the real world. When it becomes powerful enough to also take land, the victor of a network war can become a network state. That's the 101 theory.
In 2022, Peter Thiel protégé Balaji Srinivasan—formerly of Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase—envisioned a Second American Civil War.
He predicted it would be triggered by Bitcoin.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

I think I got a little out of order, apologies. But I do not think these two ICE officers are prepared for a Council that reads things.
I cannot stress enough how unprepared they seem to be.
