“The same laws they create, precedent and strategies–they’ll just export it elsewhere very quickly,” said Xavier de Janon, the Director of Mass Defense at the NLG. “There’s no limit for the government on what Antifa is, clearly.” https://unicornriot.ninja/2025/the-war-on-terror-turns-left/

The 2026 #Law4ThePeople Convention is happening this Spring in Detroit, Michigan! Now more than ever, it is vital for our members and community to come together, share their experiences, teach us about their hard fought battles, and to break bread together.

The National Lawyers Guild's Director of Mass Defense explains in-depth what's going on in North Texas in Trump's first case against "antifa". https://thefinalstrawradio.libsyn.com/updates-on-the-prairieland-case-with-nlg-dfw-support-committee

Did you know Trump is going after people that read zines? Our ideals and beliefs are not in theory being criminalized, they are actively being criminalized. Des, one of the Prairieland Defendants, is being targeted by the Trump Administration under the new NSPM-7 guidelines.

as much as the big tech companies tried to present an independent face to the world in the past, that is now finished. they are entwined with the trumpist state in ways that, i believe, will do them (& us, of course) great damage over the long run. [more great @404media.co content 👇]

Did you know Trump has his first case against “Antifa”? Watch a clip of NLG Director of Mass Defense explain how the Trump Administration has used the President’s directive to go after “Antifa”, to prosecute the Prairieland Defendants.

Special shout out to the @nlg.org for supporting peaceful civil disobedience actions with incredible attorneys, who educate, monitor, advocate. Thank you, Jacque! ❤️👇

Are you an activist? Will you be targeted under the #𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐀𝐜𝐭? As #Antifa? Or 'Extreme Trans'? An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure. Register for this free webinar, tomorrow.⤵️

🚨🚨🚨LOS ANGELES- This is a call for ALL HANDS ON DECK! Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors! Feds are targeting LA more aggressively than ever. THREAD with updates from @latenantsunion.bsky.social on feds escalating + changing tactics & how we fight back:

I joked the Zines I got from the @seabookfair.bsky.social would be waived around someday when Feds crashed down my door; Well, here’s what it’s gonna look like These are direct attacks against 1st amendment trying to criminalize independent publishing

Remember, the American Revolution was largely organized by letters, pamphlets, and newspaper articles -- VERY close to the "zines" in question here.

Indicted for having antifascist 'zines How many of you still have No Kings signs in your cars?

Distroism is not a crime!

As a bookstore that sells pamphlets and magazines, the criminalization of such materials feels pretty close to home. So let's take a closer look at the materials the federal government is claiming tie readers to "antifa terrorism." We can pick out six titles in these grainy photos. 1/

Anything critical of the gov't is being described as "terrorist literature"

Alarming criminalization of green card holder based on "Antifa Materials" - another attempt to silence dissent and target people critical of this administration Release Des and the Prairieland Defendants!

“Des's indictment should shock us all, as all that is alleged is the movement of a box of political ‘documents and propaganda’ (i.e. zines) from one place to another.”

An indictment of a green card holder for having a box lefty zines is bad—and an actual free speech issue. www.nlg.org/alarming-cri...

They hate immigrants who actually believe in this country’s ideals.

"Antifa materials" is intended to sound sinister but the government is talking about ESSAYS. If you read literature the regime disapproves of, you might be a terrorist, too.

Having a crusty zine crumpled in the bottom of your backpack will be a federal crime soon.

The Federal government, along with the state of Texas, continue their crusade against the Prairieland Defendants. Des is only one of the 18 protesters that the Trump administration is attempting to paint as an “antifa” terrorist group.

This advice goes for questions from cops, prosecutors or podcasters asking about Trump's court case to throw you in jail. Thanks @nlg.org Detroit & MI! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWEp...

ICE kidnapping operations are happening all across LA. Day laborers @ Home Depot & street vendors continue to be targeted. 12 ppl were taken this morning at the Panorama City HD (pictures below of pigs @ today's raid). 16 ppl were taken at the HD on Slauson & Western yesterday

The NLG has raised the alarm about the Prairieland defendants. https://truthout.org/articles/these-dallas-residents-are-on-the-front-lines-of-trumps-war-against-antifa/

Past NLG President, David Gespass, has taken the case head on! https://www.al.com/news/2025/10/arrest-of-fairhope-no-kings-demonstrator-in-penis-costume-draws-reactions.html

Yesterday, a new indictment was revealed in North Texas that uses Trump’s new directive to go after “antifa” to prosecute the Prairieland Defendants. This is the first instance where the Trump Administration has framed “antifa” as a terrorist group in a criminal case.

Antifa is short for antifascism. Antifascism is an idea and a form of resistance to the ever increasing authoritarianism in the United States. It is not a national organization or nonprofit that takes donations.
