Idris Robinson screen-capture from his seminal How It Might Should Be Done public talk. Text: As for Hamas, Robinson told the Guardian: “I definitely do not condemn the violence used by the Palestinian resistance. Palestinians have not been accused of perpetrating genocide, while the Israelis have been found guilty of doing so by the UN, Amnesty International and others. So the issue of whether I support violence or not is a ridiculous and immature question at this point.” In any case, Robinson added, his main claim in both the talk and the question-and-answer session was that “the Palestinian people are not just passive victims. They have agency and there’s something to be learned from people who’ve been struggling for 75 years … about emancipatory political transformation.”

He gave a talk on Palestinian resistance.
He would not condemn it.

CALL-IN CAMPAIGN HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
The Prairieland defendants are facing horrendous conditions in Tarrant County Jail where they were moved this week before trial. They have had their legal paperwork confiscated, held in filthy cells, and treated as violent and dangerous.
NEWS FROM THE BARRICADES:
Today, hundreds of community members were able to safely pass through the filter blockade. When ICE Agents tried, they were repelled.

Trump supporters are claiming that whistles should be “considered a violent weapon,” that their use constitutes “interference” with immigration enforcement operations or even “assault.”
In other words—the rapid response networks are working. The whistles are working.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
Worth reading this very carefully—not to spread panic, but to understand how civil rights are being threatened in specific ways by the use of new “indicators,” and of course all coming from an agency now run by conspiracy theorists

Despite crime levels hitting historic lows, 39 states across the country increased their prison populations in 2023 — a stark reversal from 13 years of slow decarceration. @sentencingproject.bsky.social provides analysis into this new trend and recommendations for decarceration: tinyurl.com/2vt885kn

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
