We’re all terrorists now.

“British court upholds ‘terrorist’ label for Palestine Action in reversal of high-court ruling”

Since the ban, police have arrested more than 3,000 people, including an 83-year-old retired vicar. Over 1,200 individuals now face terrorism-related charges.

“Activists accused of raiding Israeli weapons factory face trial in Germany”

The activists are being prosecuted under Section 129 – a “criminal organisation” statute with roots in the political upheaval of the Prussian era. Typically reserved for “terrorists” and organised crime groups, this legal statute has recently been applied to political and climate activists. The prosecution contends that the activists are members of “Palestine Action Germany”, a classification that enables the harsh legal conditions they now face.

“Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black”

In a significant victory for the government, jurors convicted eight defendants on material support for terrorism charges for wearing black clothes to the late-night demonstration. That use of “black bloc” clothing was an antifa tactic that assisted in the shooting of the officer, prosecutors said during their closing arguments.

Like Guante said:

They’re gonna call it terrorism either way
So you can head for the clear, or give ‘em something to fear

Might as well.

New- Nine people are facing decades in prison after a July 4 protest outside Prairieland Detention Center was prosecuted as “terrorism” in federal court.

The evidence didn’t hold, but the narrative did as prosecutors criminalized ideology. This case sets a precedent everyone should be paying attention to.

New - A breakdown of how the Prairieland 19 federal trial collapsed on day one over courtroom decorum, and what it reveals about how protest cases are handled in federal courts. It previews what’s ahead in the prosecution, why the case matters beyond court, and what to watch as the trial continues.

This case is the first time the government has ever filed terrorism charges against “antifa” and has raised the alarm among legal experts because of the logic prosecutors are using to argue that the defendants, including several who were not even at the noise demonstration, are a part of an organized criminal “antifa cell” and broader criminal conspiracy.
