Sam recaps the moral challenge before all of us living in a country led by a president who just this week explicitly threatened to unleash genocide against a whole people, saying he would "end the whole [Iranian] civilization" unless they bow to his demands.
Join the Refuse Fascism webinar next Sunday April 19 ALL OUT FOR MAY DAY: TRUMP MUST GO NOW! (refusefascism.org/events/april-19-webinar-all-out-for-may-day-trump-must-go-now/)
Read/distribute the new flyer (refusefascism.org/organize-section/trump-must-go-now-must-become-the-political-demand-of-millions/)
Then, we share the recording from a recent panel discussion hosted by the Defending Dissent Foundation (rightsanddissent.org/) and the National Lawyers Guild about the Prairieland case, featuring Chip Gibbons (Policy Director at Defending Rights & Dissent and author of the forthcoming critical history of the FBI, The Imperial Bureau), Seth Stern (Chief of Advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation), Dario Sanchez (a Prairieland defendant) and moderated by Xavier T. de Janon (Director of Mass Defense at the National Lawyers Guild and Attorney with People’s Law Collective).
The guilty verdict on federal terrorism charges for activists protesting ICE at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, marks a dangerous win for Trump and the criminalization of dissent. Throughout the 3-week trial in North Texas, prosecutors advanced the baseless claim that “antifa” is a terrorist organization—pointing to political zines and black clothing as supposed evidence. This case delivers a major victory for Trump’s long-running effort to recast a loosely defined political ideology as a domestic terrorist threat.
