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

1. This story & case are incredibly chilling. Big 😬😬😬 for anyone who has ever been to a protest. 2. Love me some NLG especially the chapter here in Chicago. 3. Very into the super cute space dress the person on the left is wearing.

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.

Our members must be doing something right, or the right-wing is running out of conspiracy theories to follow and are grasping at straws. https://www.mediamatters.org/glenn-beck/glenn-beck-says-fbi-sought-his-advice-how-target-antifa-heres-who-he-wants-them-go-after

This past week brought hopeful reports about the achievement of a preliminary ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

🚨Militarization is not safety, it's repression.🚨 The Trump administration is trying to manufacture a war zone in DC. This is an attack on democracy, racial justice, and our fundamental right to protest. We refuse to accept a police state. Read the #ProtectTheProtest coalition's statement ⬇️

"Due to unchecked state repression, people present at the noise demonstration are now facing decades of prison time and years of pre-trial detention, regardless of their actions or knowledge." @nlgnews.bsky.social #DFW #Prairieland #Texas www.nlg.org/nlg-stands-i...

"The Handala is part of the Freedom Flotilla, a civilian initiative that represents global civil society’s solidarity with Gaza and the Palestinian people."

Since the spring, federal agents have been patrolling government buildings in New York City, waiting to arrest migrants as soon as they step out of a courtroom, regardless of the status of their case.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration tried to silence our Harvard Law School chapter. This is their response 👇👇👇 www.nlg.org/statement-nl...

Tuesday, April 8, Musa, a Black & Muslim journalist, filmmaker, cultural worker, and activist was returning to the US when they were targeted by DHS for their Palestine solidarity organizing. They were interrogated for hours, and ultimately had their phone and computer seized.

Federal agents use tactics like “door knocks” and grand jury subpoenas to target activists and surveil social movements. This training will cover how to support activists in federal investigations and grand jury proceedings.

We want to give a shout to our UC Davis NLG chapter for standing up for a free Palestine. The university's response means what they are doing is working.
