We've updated this story to reflect today's shocking sentencing hearing, with many defendants receiving the maximum sentence for their charges.

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

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn’t even at the protest — his wife was — but prosecutors are pressuring him into giving up his permanent resident status because he allegedly moved a box of zines the day after. Now that he’s going to trial, he’s looking at decades behind bars and deportation.

Yes, this! Strong, healthy, personal relationships in both the political and social realms are the key to strong movements and increased security. This is organizing 101 and should be the priority when laying the groundwork of what's to come.

Student journalists at The University of Texas at Dallas formed a guerilla newspaper, The Retrograde, after being dismissed from their school's paper for their coverage of the 2023 pro-Palestine protests on campus. They shared their story with UR contributor Aeffia Feuerstein.

👇🎯 The problem with building your entire staff & business model around covering politics as theater/sporting events is that your entire staff/business model is completely unequipped for covering politics as policy/governance, or for dealing with a far right authoritarian party interested in neither.

"Now that Patel is in the running to head one of the most powerful agencies in the U.S. government, the question of whether he will really 'come after' journalists is troubling both sides of the aisle ..."
nbcnews.com
Kash Patel once said he would 'come after' journalists. It now hangs over his FBI candidacy.
Trump's pick for FBI director has vowed to "come after" the media. But he also later emphasized to NBC News that his comments apply only if people "broke the law."

Cover photo for the band Stray Cats self-titled album. Photo appears to be shot in an abandoned building. Pictures shows 3 punks from the 1980s, one standing in front of a cymbal and drum, one standing with a guitar slung over his back, one standing next to a stand up bass.

This is the guy Trump is installing as FCC chair. The point here, IMO, is not that he’s going to go in and start yanking licenses. But by saying things like this he can intimidate broadcasters into covering the Trump administration more favorably.

I think the vibe is less terrible than Twitter at least. I think you (and maybe authors in general?) should focus on Instagram, it makes more sense for what you're trying to do. I'll spend too much time here with all the journo accounts I follow and I'll share with you more than you want to know.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, which commemorates the lives of trans people killed in acts of anti-trans violence. Black transgender women, in particular, are disproportionately killed in the U.S., according to deaths tracked by the Human Rights Campaign.

One thing to hold fast to is that so much of the work we do to fight fascism is also work that builds a better world. Building community, building power at work, forming bonds and practices of solidarity all lead us towards a better society, particularly if we approach it with that orientation.
