New York police say they foiled an assassination attempt against the prominent Palestinian American activist Nerdeen Kiswani. “It really made me feel even more vulnerable than I already do as a Palestinian activist," she told Democracy Now! https://www.democracynow.org/2026/3/30/nerdeen_kiswani

listen to Nerdeen Kiswani interviewed by Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada about the assassination plot against her. then donate to her legal fund to sue Betar and everyone aligned with them who incite violence against Palestinian activists. chuffed.org/project/1714... t.co/HCvibYVNG2

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

I don't know if it was the JDL, but one of my best friends worked at a university-affiliated food stand in Pittsburgh where they served food from (rotating) regions officially in conflict with the US. When they did Palestine, a group threatened to kill/bomb all the cafe workers specifically

In the 1970s and 80s the Jewish Defense League waged war against Palestinians and their supporters in Los Angeles. Written in depth in this important piece here:

In 1985 - The Jewish Defense League bombed the ADC office & assassinated Alex Odeh in Santa Ana. The killers immediately fled to Israel & were never charged. Today - JDL member Alexander Heifler planned to flee to Israel following the assassination attempt on Nerdeen Kiswani Solidarity w/ Nerdeen!

“What they wish to do to Nerdeen Kiswani is what they want to do to all of us who are inspired by her courage. It is not hyperbole or alarmist to say that these people actually want us dead. Nerdeen deserves so much more from our community. It’s on us to protect her”

The man accused of planning to assassinate Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani belonged to a branch of the Jewish Defense League, a pro-Israel terror group. The JDL bombed the ADC office and assassinated Alex Odeh in Santa Ana in 1985. Solidarity with Nerdeen! We must stand against this evil.

Signal chats, zines, crowdfunding, black clothes all used as evidence of being “Antifa”(+ coerced confessions/cooperating defendants) If we collectively sit back & let this pass then Prairieland becomes the basis for how they plan to come for all of us. Pay attention. @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social

“The prosecution broke the law when it hid this evidence from the defense. The prosecutors should be removed & a new trial granted immediately.” Exclusive investigation by @adamfederman.bsky.social @inthesetimes.com & @typeinvestigations.org casts doubt on the govt argument in the TX "antifa" trial.

FBI records directly undercut 1 of the Prairieland prosecution’s core claims: that antifa is a violent, criminal organization bent on overthrowing the gov. These records were never turned over to the defense & thus never seen by the jury. Could have major implications @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social:

Then why do we pay them

Best reason I’ve seen to defund the police today. Get rid of ‘em. Our streets would be safer without them and anything else is copaganda

The Supreme Court has said the police do not have the duty to protect members of the public. Really makes you think!

Get in, cool kids. It's Friday and we're staying safe.

the jury ended up convicting 7 people of materially supporting terrorism (aka antifa) by being in attendance at this demonstration (which was, btw, so that people caged in the horrible detention center for the crime of existing would feel solidarity and support)

Experts say the outcome of the Prairieland "Antifa" case will give the Trump administration the green light to take a more aggressive stance against left-wing activity and further politicize the use of domestic terrorism laws. www.texasobserver.org/prairieland-...

Extremely grim news from Texas. Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants on most of the charges, including "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines. The jury's verdict: www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/v... Background on the case: crimethinc.com/Prairieland

"By broadly defining domestic terrorism to include constitutionally protected speech, the Trump administration will be successful in dismantling a lot more than the "antifa" movement, and will dismantle Americans' First Amendment rights instead."

the question was do you support boycotting jewish businesses due to israel's actions. this type of question is an intentional conflation to draw out "antisemitism." completely misleading and misappropriating the intent and purpose of BDS. i'd say the issue is with the writer/questioner.

Everything ICE does, regular cops do all the time. Including this.

A lot of "the anti-semitism of the left" talk going around lately and the target seems to be more "the left" than the anti-semitism.

California residents are now being sent to prison for shoplifting. In the first year of Prop 36, shoplifters have been charged with felonies + imprisoned for stealing diapers, hygiene supplies, a $13 belt, groceries and soda. DAs filed 15,000+ felonies for thefts previously treated as misdemeanors

Don't you see? He literally won us the right to tell cops we fucked their wives!

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

movements aren't separate from society. they are part of society. every social problem in society will be found in movements.

There's a chapter in my book with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Let This Radicalize You, where we get into the pitfalls of pedestaling organizers. Good organizers don't want this. In fact, it can be really harmful to them, in addition to undermining our sense of collective responsibility and potential

No heroes, yes, but no yes-men defenders either. Pedestalizing leaders is a part of the sick “celebrity” culture. Solidarity does not mean being a “fan” of someone. Unlearning this (as a part of patriarchy) is just as important as anything else.

People shouldn't feel bad about previously admiring someone when they didn't know about the terrible harms that person committed, but we should challenge ourselves to consider how pedestalizing and prioritizing the legacies of charismatic leaders can create harmful dynamics. That can be addressed.

Replace all Cesar Chavez Avenues and statues with Dolores Huertas. Fuck that anti-immigrant pedophile rapist piece of shit.

Civil Rights icon, @doloreshuerta, made a brave move today, revealing a secret she had been holding for 60 years for the sake of the Farm Workers movement. You can read her letter here: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Chavez was known to be an absolute paranoid megalomaniac during his tenure at the UFW, & when I heard rumblings of some pretty intense allegations in the wake of Chavez Day celebrations being cancelled, I figured it might end up being something this grotesque. Kill your heroes. Uplift the movement

Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia was released from an ICE detention facility in Texas after a year in custody. The 33-year-old from the occupied West Bank was the last person connected to the Columbia University pro-Palestine protests still held by US immigration authorities.

Thinking about the people & lawyers that dismissed the alarm about Antifa being designated as a domestic terrorist group. The government just used “material support” for “antifa materials” & “domestic terrorism” to convict 9 people in Prairieland.

Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia was released on bond Monday after more than a year in ICE detention.

Thinking about the people & lawyers that dismissed the alarm about Antifa being designated as a domestic terrorist group. The government just used “material support” for “antifa materials” & “domestic terrorism” to convict 9 people in Prairieland.

Every day is shut the fuck up Friday. Shutting the fuck up doesn't just affect you, it affects your friends. Solidarity with all who shut the fuck up.

Everything about this trial from beginning to end has proven what we have said all along: this is a sham trial, built on political persecution and ideological attacks coming from the top.

Horrible news & will set a dangerous precedent for how they will go after the movement in the coming years. Lawyers & organizers must prepare and adapt to the shifting terrain. Solidarity 🖤

Genuinely appalling implications for the future of political freedom in this country. We have always stood by the Prairieland Defendants and will keep supporting them until every defendant is home.

Fuck this. Hope you are paying attention, this is how they will come for all of us. Learn from the important lessons and prepare. Keep fighting.

We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results. This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

Not fucking around with the jokes or funny business this week. Follow and support the defendants in the ongoing Prairieland trial. Protect yourself and those around you: always ask for your attorney and STFU. Practice it, live it, don't run your mouth and get anyone jammed up on false charges.

Even if you're not INTENTIONALLY at a protest. Are you goth? Wear black? Like your hooded sweatshirts when it's wimdy and your walk / commute takes you past a protest area? (In DC, a major protest area is right by Union Station. Would everyone in the station be considered part of the protest?)

"Wearing All Black at Protests Makes You Guilty of Terrorism, Prosecutors Tell Jury The Prairieland case is a major test of the Trump administration’s push to label “antifa” protesters as terrorists." All eyes on Prairieland 👀 Read: theintercept.com/2026/03/12/a...

It’s ridiculous what they are trying to do in Prairieland. One of the defendants wasn't even at the demonstration but is facing charges for removing people from a signal chat. Pay attention to Prairieland because this is how they will come for all of us. Free Dario Sanchez! Free Des! Free them all!

Zines, signal chats, jail support... all things the government is using as examples of "antifa materials" & "domestic terrorism" Prairieland is very important to pay attention to because it will impact all of us.
