Mariachi band dressed Herbert Castro was sadistically mocked by an ICE prison guard who said, "If you sing me a song, I'll let you go." He has been detained since June 26th despite being married to a US citizen, living in the US since he was 4 and having just applied for a Green Card the day prior

You don't have to censor a newsroom to censor the news. You just have to penalize those who share it. Protecting press freedom must mean protecting everyone who reads, circulates, and discusses reporting.

"This killing comes after Tennessee National Guard soldiers shot and killed 20-year-old Tyrin Johnson early Sunday morning near AutoZone Park."

Second Person in a Week Killed by Federal Task Force in Memphis www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u... "Tennessee authorities are investigating both shootings involving agents working with the task force in Memphis." 😡

1ce has been escalating in Chicagoland. This agent in boogaloo shirt and acceleration skull gator has been aggro t3rrorizing multiple areas all week, Joliet Monday, Pilsen Tues/Wed. Today in St. Charles, he smashed a persons face into the cement while calling him "pendejo". But he let his mask down.

NEW from @gregsargent.bsky.social: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo from speaking out. All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported. /reposted with correct name

ICE is reportedly pressuring the three witnesses to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's murder—his brother and workers—to self-deport. In other words, get the only people who could contradict ICE's version of events out of the country.

Your local police department might be using Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers to inform ICE of the location of immigrants that they have identified as an “Immigration Violator” in your city. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The dunking on police department posts about their flock cameras getting destroyed transcends left-right politics and it's great to see.

Christopher Mathias- These PF fucks are loser chuds, but the danger is, their nazisms are mainstream GOP policy now - DHS is posting "remigration", 10 years ago, it was nazis who pushed this line, now on the 250 year so-called freedom day, they celebrate putting ppl in chains. This is who the US is.

‘We knew this would happen’: Lawmakers seek answers after fatal National Guard shooting in #Memphis | WREG wreg.com/memphis-safe...

1/ DC is a minority majority city, 43% of the pop is Black. SpaceX’s data centers are polluting Memphis and Southaven, MI where 39% of the pop is Black. This is NOT NEW to the Trump admin but we are witnessing an acceleration that will make our Black neighbors sicker. Next stop: White Appalachia

Here's a link to that piece. We recommend reading beyond the headline & wrestling with all of it. Rapid responders are still in the streets bravely tracking ICE activity despite federal agents' track record of killing them. We only know this past month’s stats because of them.

Earlier this week, Intelligencer ran a piece called "ICE Won." We definitely don't agree with the title, but its gist—that the normalization of federal police violence is accelerating—is proving accurate. ICE arrests roughly doubled in Chicagoland in June over May. Some more thoughts on that:

Today, the Prairieland defendants Ines Soto, Joy Gibson, and Rebecca Morgan were sentenced to 50, 15, and 15 years, respectively. This is political persecution for the sole purpose of terrorizing potential protesters. But if we let them scare us out of organizing, that will only endanger us more.

It’s hard to shock me these days but what happened to the accused “Antifa” in Texas did the trick. These poor people need to be freed—and don’t forget the names of the pigs who cheered on their suffering.

To not only mark the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War & Revolution, but to also review the enduring lessons of the experience, we're excited to announce a weekend of events on July 18 and 19. 🚩🏴 Sponsored by AK Press. Registration required, find it in replies 🔽

Hell yeah we are

You're a terrorist for having antifascist zines, and an "Anarchist Violent Extremist" if you use graffiti? Our tax dollars at work. truthout.org/articles/fbi...

Following setbacks in Minneapolis, ICE has changed strategies. Now they are trying to inflict as much suffering as possible without attracting attention. They are escalating right now. We need strategies to confront and impede them—the way people did at Delaney Hall. crimethinc.com/DelaneyStrat...

Billionaire pedophiles who attack children are bad and people who put themselves on the line to defend their neighbors against fascism are good.

Btw in the Soviet Union, being an editor of a forbidden underground “samizdat“ newsletter netted a sentence of 5, maybe 10 years tops.

Zines, crowdfunding, black clothes all used as evidence of being “Antifa,” convicted of “domestic terrorism” & sentenced for 50-100 years. Hope you are paying attention to Prairieland. This is how they will come for all of us.

Chicagoland rapid responders reported a large presence of ICE agents and vehicles near the Will County Courthouse in Joliet, IL today from 10 am past 11 am. Per reports, at least 6 vehicles have been seen at various locations around the courthouse. Unclear if ICE is still in the area as of noon.

The Guardian telling readers that the Prairieland trial was a a fucking farce in journalist speak: "Even though many of the protesters did not know each other, or were loosely affiliated, prosecutors said the attack on the officer was premeditated and part of a conspiracy." 1/2

"At Louisiana State Penitentiary, better known as Angola, incarcerated workers are forced to pick crops in dangerous heat. Last month, a federal judge found that the working conditions are so dangerous that they violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment."

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

Far right agitator, Rick Stype followed a young Anti-ICE protester, 3/4 his size and attacked him. He was knocked out cold in response by the kid. Racist Rick has been known to pull guns on and make threats against protesters, destroy memorials for immigrants and abuse his dog.

Our loved ones did nothing wrong, and they are being thrown away for the rest of their lives. Not only does the evidence prove their innocence, but the actions of ICE and the federal government over the past year have proven the righteousness of their actions.

Far harsher sentences than the worst J6ers, who are free today: “Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.”

Prairieland sentencing update: today’s rulings don’t just close a case, they clarify the direction of power. What happened is not only about eight defendants sentenced in Texas; it is about the rapidly expanding power of the state to redefine dissent itself as terror. Full update in the link below.

Sentences reaching 100 years punish protesters after a Texas detention center demonstration with antifa ties alleged though denied and no deaths occurred only speech chilled.

Thinking of the folks currently in the dragnet in MPLS in the wake of the Prairieland sentencing today This gov wants to bring down those us who dare to resist fascism at every turn. Do your best to protect yourself, yes, but don’t be afraid. We are on the right side of history here, & they know it

We are without words. Our thoughts are with the Prairieland Defendants and their loved ones.

Anti-ICE activists received lengthy prison terms — including a 100-year sentence — in the first major trial of the NSPM-7 era.

Read this whole thread. Activists are being sentenced, one of whom just moved some zines. The judge made it clear in sentencing that he was prosecuting their beliefs, not their actions.

The Prairieland defendants will appeal their convictions, but the entire court system is rotten—especially in Texas. We must completely discredit the tyranny of ICE and Donald Trump, creating a situation in which anyone who succeeds Trump is compelled to pardon those who suffered under Trump.

The sentences doled out in the Prairieland case today are horrific. Des was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of zines. There is no pretense of "justice" here. The judge said, “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.” crimethinc.com/prairieland
