.@syracusedotcom reports two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday to demand that she take down an Insta post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). https://t.co/WIB1hbqx5W
Anyone who can't see what is happening is blind.

Protesting is illegal, sympathizing with protestors is illegal, reading books is illegal, using Signal is illegal, wearing all black is illegal
That’s what we have learned from Prairieland
You have no rights, start acting like it
If you touch water you are apprehended by police.
If you molest kids with Jeffrey Epstein you are moved to a luxury prison and considered for a pardon.
TRUMP’S AMERICA.
THEY LITERALLY HID VIDEO EVIDENCE DISPROVING EVERYTHING THE PROSECUTION SAID! EVERYTHING THEY SAID IN THE TRIAL WAS A LIE and the evidence only came out after they were declared guilty. This is straight bullshit
The Prairieland show trial may be the most textbook example of fascism ever seen outside Nazi Germany.
These are Nazi mugshots of White Rose, an antifascist student group which distributed pamphlets mocking Hitler.
They were executed by guillotine.
This is where we’re headed.
Trump just killed a bipartisan affordable housing bill that passed the Senate 85–5 /the House 358–32 while people are drowning in rent, mortgages, inflation, & high gas and energy bills.
But sure, tell us all how this billionaire “populist” dickhead is fighting for working people.
MAGA got conned.
Des has been sentenced to 30 years because he & his wife Mari stood up against the concentration camp in their city. He wasn't even at the protest. She got 70 years.
If you think you can stay safe from this by staying home, please take some time to study the history of fascism.
Every step of the Prairieland case, the state swung way bigger than anyone expected, wielding the power of the court to crush people for opposing authoritarian state violence. They are trying to snuff out opposition by arbitrarily making an example of activists.
police in Mississippi shot and killed a baby because her mom *allegedly* shoplifted of a pack of diapers from Walmart; nothing will happen to the killer. but show up to a protest at an ICE concentration camp, leave when asked, and spend decades in federal prison.
Both these headlines are from Texas this month.
Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.
Imagine taking a few Bible verses on human sexuality as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing 2,000+ verses calling for the care of immigrants, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor to be a personal choice.
The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID
Is this the one where the gentlemen brought a copy of the fifth circuit opinion saying they couldn’t shave his head, at which point the prison guards threw the papers in the trash and then shaved his head? That one?
This is Hunter Foster, the officer who shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Kartier Wiley. He had a complaint filed against him by a fellow police officer a couple of days before shooting, killing 1 year old Kohen Wiley, for using racial slurs in the police precinct.
Justice For Kohen Wiley
