Tomark off the 250th, we present the greatest gift of all: a grotesque spectacle of decline, the undeniable suspicion thatAmerica is a steep decline, so you can feel special to bear witness to The End of History. Enjoy, you lucky so-and-sos!

NEW: Minnesota 15 Defendant Cal Robinet Speaks Out

“It’s no secret that a lot of the people that were targeted are union organizers who are being charged for some of their alleged actions on the day of no work, no school, no shopping,” said Cal Robinet, a union electrician and activist. Robinet is one of 15 people in Minnesota who were recently federally indicted on felony conspiracy charges for their community activism during ICE’s deadly Operation Metro Surge immigration enforcement.

“I think it’s really important to point out that the retaliation that we’re seeing from the federal government isn’t just related to our speech, it’s related to the power that we have together.”

A week after being raided by federal agents and brought to the Whipple Federal Building, Robinet spoke about their experience, opinions on the indictment, the inspiring support they’ve received from the community, Prairieland sentencing and more.

Seeking to further criminalize legal observing and protesting, the federal indictment accused the defendants of opposing the authority of the government and impeding their federal operations by posting opinions to Facebook, being present at protests, attending meetings where direct actions were spoken upon, and wearing certain clothes.

The indictment calls many of the defendants “anarchists” and “antifascists,” both descriptors newly named as “terror groups” in the latest White House counterterrorism strategy.

These charges are a continuation of Trump’s vindictive domestic policies against the left as he directs federal agencies to go after political opponents using NSPM-7 and his executive order designating antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

“These charges are a joke,” said Robinet. “There’s nothing that we’ve done that thousands upon thousands of people haven’t done as well. These are all lawfully protected activities. And the reason that they’re throwing the book at us is because this is a political case to them. that we are enemies of state for our political beliefs, for activities as union organizers and for existing as queer people in this world.”

“With regards to NSPM-7, just know that these cases are going to continue. And while we may be anarchists, please don’t think that it’s going to stop there. You know that this is just a scapegoat to try and chip off one edge of the movement, much like that Niemöller poem. You know, first they came for X and then we came for Y. Know that that’s going on today, that when they say we’re coming for anti-fascists, what they’re calling Antifa is a boogeyman that doesn’t exist. What they’re doing is they’re going after anybody who says no to them. And you should not be surprised when that starts applying to you. It’s interesting to me that they put opposition to the US government in part of the conspiracy, because to them, I could see why that would be a major crime. Because they want obedience at all costs. They love it. They just love that shit. But we’re free people. We’re free people, and we do as we please. And we love as we please, and we live as we please. You know, to live in love, we must fight. And that’s the situation that we’re put in now. We’re standing up for any immigrant, any person of color or anyone who stands in their way, that’s who they’re coming after. And that’s who we need to be protecting right now.”

While the killers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti walk free, the DOJ is busy bringing bogus charges against protesters.

The Administration thinks intimidation will make us back down.

They keep learning the same lesson: Minnesotans don't scare easily. We organize for our rights ✊🏽

🚨 DHS conducted raids this morning in Minneapolis, targeting rapid responders. In a few hours, they will announce conspiracy charges against popular defenders who allegedly resisted federal occupation of the city, describing them as “antifa” groups. Another NSPM-7 case.

La pretendida acusación contra el General de Ejército Raúl Castro Ruz, que acaba de comunicar el Gobierno estadounidense, solo evidencia la soberbia y la frustración que le provoca a los representantes del imperio, la inquebrantable firmeza de la Revolución Cubana y la unidad y fortaleza moral de su liderazgo.

Se trata de una acción política, sin ningún basamento jurídico, que solo busca engrosar el expediente que fabrican para justificar el desatino de una agresión militar a #Cuba.

EE.UU miente y manipula los sucesos alrededor del derribo de las avionetas de la organización narco-terrorista Hermanos al Rescate, en 1996.

Sabe bien, porque sobran evidencias documentales, que no se actuó de manera imprudente ni se violó el derecho internacional, como sí vienen haciendo fuerzas militares estadounidenses, con sus fríamente calculadas y abiertamente publicitadas ejecuciones extrajudiciales sobre embarcaciones civiles en el Caribe y el Pacífico.

El 24 de febrero de 1996, Cuba actuó en legítima defensa, dentro de sus aguas jurisdiccionales, tras sucesivas y peligrosas violaciones de nuestro espacio aéreo por connotados terroristas, de lo cual la administración estadounidense de turno fue alertada en más de una decena de ocasiones, pero hizo caso omiso de las advertencias y permitió las violaciones.

La altura ética y el sentido humanista de su obra, derriban cualquier infamia que se pretenda levantar contra el General de Ejército Raúl Castro. Como jefe guerrillero y como estadista, ganó el amor de su pueblo, a lo que se suma el respeto y la admiración de otros líderes de la región y del mundo. Esos valores son su mejor defensa y un escudo moral, frente al ridículo intento de menoscabar su talla de héroe.

Las imágenes del ministro israelí Ben Gvir humillando a los miembros de la flotilla internacional en apoyo a Gaza son inaceptables.

No vamos a tolerar que nadie maltrate a nuestros ciudadanos. En septiembre anuncié la prohibición de acceso al territorio nacional de este miembro del gobierno israelí. Ahora vamos a impulsar en Bruselas que estas sanciones se eleven a escala europea de manera urgente.

The Cuban Revolution will remain one of the most unbelievable events in human history. 82 guys want to overthrow a dictatorship backed by a global superpower, grab a boat, land in Cuba, 67 of them of immediately killed, win anyway. Unmatched.

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his wife PANIC when confronted about killing a generation of children in Palestine while their own kids are present.

“Please, with the children!” They plead.

Activist responds by asking if it’s “just your children” they care about says she’s feels sorry for their kids — “one day they’ll grow up and read the news.”

If Mamdani invited genocidal war criminal Netanyahu to read stories to preschoolers the American left would be up in arms. But of course this war criminal, who dropped 26,000 bombs in only *one* year, massacring several children, still gets an inexplicable pass

Take this as a reminder that if you go to the Mall of America they have also deployed surveillance against everyone including facial recognition. MoA utilizes Corsight AI, which was originally developed to track Palestinians.
