The government is using conspiracy charges to sow fear & suppress dissent against ICE. It won't work.

"...whether people were monitoring ICE, documenting, photographing, following, blowing whistles... we stand in their corner." — Atty Bruce Nestor

.@PeoplesForumNYC: "Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, and no lawsuit can change that." Federal court dismisses all civil rights conspiracy claims against pro-Palestine activists & The People's Forum. A ringing victory for freedom of speech. https://t.co/tljaI190Rv

1/🧵 Trump’s statement that “a whole civilization will die tonight never to be brought back again” is a call for genocide against 93 million people in Iran, an overt violation of international and federal law, and every moral code known to humanity.

[Partnership for Civil Justice Fund @ThePCJF]

4/🧵 Trump does not speak with the consent of the people of the U.S. We have the First Amendment right to oppose this criminally insane threat.

Proud to support the @1ACommittee rally in DC led by Jane Fonda & feat. Joan Baez, challenging “censorship, political intimidation, and a growing effort to reshape American history and cultural life through fear and attacks on our First Amendment.”

1/ 📣 TAKE ACTION: Tell DOJ to withdraw a dangerous new proposal that seeks to shield federal prosecutors from accountability.

Trump’s Justice Dept has proposed a new rule that would subvert state ethics investigations into misconduct by its lawyers. 🧵

[Partnership for Civil Justice Fund @ThePCJF]

4/ People are in court challenging unconstitutional govt conduct & facing repression for exercising their First Amend rights. The DOJ must not be allowed to operate without independent ethics oversight.
