Probably should've predicted that our roving army of misfit fed goons would consist of the kind of men who subsist largely on Slim Jims and energy drinks in between beating immigrants

NEW RESOURCE: For months, ICE has engaged in an arbitrary campaign of warrantless stops and arrests in Chicago.

Need security advice for activists under a significant threat landscape shift? Don't worry, we @lucyparsonslabs.com got you.

PDF: goldframes.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/LPL_ICEinvas...
TITLE: Emergent Security Advice against ICE’s Kidnapping Spree Subtitle: A Practical, Timely, Semi-Local Guide to State Resistance Text: The current Trump administration is engaged in a monstrous campaign of snatch-and-grabs, warrantless raids, and the arbitrary detention of brown and Black people in Chicago. For months, ICE, Border Patrol, and many other masked, unknown federal agents have forcibly shoved our neighbors into vans and out of Chicago at breakneck speeds. In some cases, federal agents intentionally crash into cars and attack the people inside of them. But Chicagoans are notoriously tough people and we’ve seen numerous organic, spontaneous mobilizations emerge to shatter ICE. That being said, our collective security culture needs to respond to the harsh reality that these governmental actors simply don’t care about our rights, humanity, or dignity. Our responses must, in turn, adapt to the new authoritarian tactics, techniques and procedures. After all, we reject the detentions of all humans, with or without warrants, and what we are seeing on the ground can only be described as an aggressive application of State power.

Did you know Trump has his first case against “Antifa”?

Watch a clip of NLG Director of Mass Defense explain how the Trump Administration has used the President’s directive to go after “Antifa”, to prosecute the Prairieland Defendants.

As age verification laws proliferate around the world, people have predictably turned to VPNs to protect their privacy. Instead of taking this as a sign that surveillance isn't popular, lawmakers have decided they might as well ban VPNs altogether. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Remember when you thought age verification laws couldn't get any worse? Well, lawmakers in Wisconsin, Michigan, and beyond are about to blow you away.It's unfortunately no longer enough to force

Please read this update regarding the #PrairielandDefendants & the pressure the state has been using on them to accept plea deals

Also visit dfwdefendants.wordpress.com & write to the defendants to give them more support & connections to the outside

Fundraiser: givesendgo.com/supportDFWpr...
light pink graphic with a photo of two grey birds looking to the left. Text says: Important update regarding the Prairieland Defendants Pink background with text that says: The DOJ is currently pressuring all of the defendants who have not yet been indicted federally to take plea deals. These deals vary, but most involve up to 15 years in federal prison. As we recently saw with the Casey Goonen case, we are pessimistic that their sentences will be the short end of the proposed deal. Moreover, it’s not clear how these deals will impact the state cases. These offers come over four months into an unimaginable ordeal of detention by these defendants. They are being told by the state that these deals are their only option to avoid potential life in prison. The defendants are psychologically worn down and are now having false deadlines forced upon them by a DOJ only interested in an easy win that can be used to validate their ridiculous fantasies of “Antifa terrorists.” The majority of defendants have rejected these offers and will continue to fight their charges and to come home to their families and community. Unfortunately a number of defendants may ultimately decide to accept these offers. We have immense sympathy for the difficulty our loved ones are facing. We do not believe accepting these deals will be a confirmation of the state’s narrative, instead it will only be confirmation of the unjust and barbaric actions by the state that we have seen throughout this case. Thank you all for your support so far. We will continue to update you as things progress. dfwdefendants.wordpress.com

A farm worker near Ave Maria, Florida, seeks prayers after their work bus is stopped by ICE. As a result, they begin systematically abducting each of them one by one. Tragically, they have not been heard from since.
