Heidi Li FeldmanI don’t have time to detail the unbelievable level of prosecutorial misconduct that has come out about the “Broadview 6”. So far, I haven’t seen a news report that captures the breadth and seriousness of the DoJ transgressions. But important for everybody to have some feel for the situation. Here’s one news report to set the stage. I give some explanation in this thread. https://evanstonnow.com/feds-to-dismiss-broadview-six-case-in-full/ #Lawfedi 1/

Aaron RuparNew in PN: How Hennepin County unwound an ICE agent's web of lies
"Thanks to video evidence, Minnesota could sidestep assertions that Castro, as a 'law enforcement officer,' should be considered more credible than his victims. And the charging documents detail the shocking extent of his lies." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/christian-castro-ice-shooting-north-minneapolis

👉after a woman who was being detained was forced to give birth in a courtroom on Friday.
At least 150 legal advocates, public defenders, and local lawmakers rallied against what the Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys (ALAA) called
“the dangerous conditions in Brooklyn Criminal Court arraignments that put New Yorkers at risk of harm and even death.”
On Friday, a woman waiting to be arraigned on low-level charges was forced to give birth in court just before midnight in front of judges, attorneys, and court staff,💥 with her hands cuffed behind her back.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Monday afternoon, in the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego, two men drove to a mosque with stolen weapons, anti-Islamic literature in their car, and hate scrawled on their firearms. They walked into the Islamic Center of San Diego and opened fire on men gathered to worship God.
Three American Muslims were murdered. Children were traumatized. And a security guard named Amin Abdullah gave his life so that others could live. This is not a news report. It is a reckoning.
White Supremacists Kill Three American Muslims in San Diego
Among them, a security guard named Amin Abdullah, a father of 8, whose courageous act saved the lives of dozens of children and hundreds of worshippers This is a difficult piece to write. On a quiet Monday afternoon in the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego, two young men drove to
Alissa AzarThree people were murdered at a mosque in San Diego today in what is being investigating as a hate crime. And already, the same politicians and far right figures who spent years flooding this country with anti-Muslim and anti-Arab rhetoric are pretending this violence came out of nowhere, blaming attendees at the masjid, and even calling for more violence.
Numerous sources say anti-Islamic writings were found in the shooters’ car. Hate speech was reportedly written directly onto one of the guns used in the attack. One of the shooters allegedly left behind a note ranting about “racial pride.” Outside the car where the two shooters were found, there was a gas can marked with SS symbols.
This is what happens when Islamophobia is normalized at every level of politics & media. When Muslim communities are constantly framed as threats. When genocide is justified abroad and hate is cultivated at home.
People love to act shocked after people are killed, but the rhetoric came first. The dehumanization came first. The racist fearmongering came first.
Muslim communities should be able to exist, pray, and gather without being hunted by fascists radicalized by the exact narratives people in power keep pushing.
Lauren WeinsteinThe booing that almost drove Eric Schmidt off that commencement stage when he tried to push AI should be a reminder that there are pretty much no other issues, short of hatred of child abuse, that cut across political lines more dramatically than the growing anger and pushback against Big Tech AI systems being forced on us, their associated data centers, and the politicians who support them.
