This verdict is appalling — especially the conviction of Daniel Sanchez-Estrada merely for transporting constitutionally protected zines, similar to the pamphlets that prompted the press freedom clause.
The implications extend far beyond so-called "Antifa."
Oh they're like pivot to video trying intentionally to destroy the internet
The United States government and huge AI companies are using your data as part of the war machine.
Their ethics have been breached. The red lines have been crossed.

If zines can threaten the state then it says more about the state than anything else.
A reminder that this trial is presided over by three designated -- i.e., handpicked by the government -- national security judges and jury-less. Also, that the defendants, Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, have been behind bars for over 1,600 days since their arrests in September 2021.

What they wanted to do was to isolate the defendants, to control the public narrative. But people came together, spoke out, fought back, and set the tone for what’s to come.
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.

8 defendants (all but Des) declared guilty of riot, material support to terrorism, conspiracy to use & carry an explosive device, use & carry an explosive device.
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.
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.
today all 9 people federally charged with "materially supporting terrorism", rioting, carrying an explosive, as part of an "ANTIFA cell" were found guilty on some or all charges. the case was based in part on being in Signal organizing group chats and possessing political leftist zines.

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.

“Governments modelling abandonment and cruelty in a time of crisis signal support to fascist, eugenicist and Nazi logic. This follows past research showing pandemics can give rise to fascist political economies.”
Institutional abandonment played a role in paving the way for fascism. As @juliadoubleday.bsky.social said on a recent episode of Public Health is Dead, “you’re not resisting fascism if you’re not making your spaces accessible to disabled people during a pandemic”
