Prairieland defendants sentenced today to prison terms ranging from 30-100 years

Hiding evidence tends to be bad, even when that evidence wouldn't itself be a problem without a crime for it to be evidence of.

The National Lawyers Guild released a pretty incredible statement about this trial. They basically were not allowed to mount a defense, in blatant violation of their constitutional rights.

> Alarmingly, this mistrial order is just the latest example of attacks on the Prairieland Defendants’ constitutional rights to access to counsel, a fair and impartial jury, an adequate defense, a public trial, and more. Judge Pittman has made highly unusual moves that suppress defense teams and which federal lawyers have not seen during their entire careers:

[...]

> NLG remains extremely concerned about these cases. Defendants’ First Amendment rights to free expression, assembly, and association; their Sixth Amendment rights to counsel; their Fifth Amendment rights to a public trial; and their Second Amendment rights to bear arms are under attack in North Texas. If unchecked and ignored, this case and the judicial decisions coming from it will set a very dark precedent for the rest of the country.

Yeah, I had no idea until recently. He's basically Mr Anti Anti Fascist, has been telling the White House to go after them.

> Ngo lobbied the administration to name “antifa” a foreign terrorist organization — on par with al Qeada or ISIS — at a White House event in the fall.

Used to think he was a kind of harmless idiot, but this is incredibly actively bad & toxic a person.

What about moving a box of zines?
