Well said.

Excerpt from the linked article in the quoted post that reads: The Prairieland defendants were motivated by an opposition to ICE and the terrors they have and continue to unleash on communities; a position that, per a February 2026 poll, is held by a majority of Americans. How many people in your life feel the same way? And how about you—have you ever gone to an anti-ICE protest, complained about capitalism, or joined a neighborhood Signal chat? Congratulations. Definitionally, you’re an “antifa member”—and in the eyes of the US government, that makes you a terrorist.

Lawyers for an anti-ICE protester tried to argue his shot was a ricochet. The theory was squashed by gaps in the evidence and a judge’s suppression. theintercept.com/2026/09/27/p...

Federal prison DENIED Song's ballistics expert access to his client and Trump appointed Judge Mark Pittman DENIED defense the ability to argue self-defense after trial revealed officer drew and aimed at the back an unarmed, fleeing protester. This trial was rigged.

Excerpt from the Intercept article linked in the quoted post that reads:

Together, this new evidence of a ricochet matches the information that became apparent only during the trial when Gross testified that he drew his weapon first and aimed at a fleeing protester. Drawing on this testimony, along with video evidence, Song recounted the same version of events in a statement he read during sentencing.

“When I saw Lieutenant Thomas Gross stop pursuing and point his gun at the back of a running, unarmed protester, like he testified, I was terrified,” Song said. “As a firearms instructor and a United States Marine Corps veteran, I understood what I was seeing. As the evidence shows, I did not want to hurt anyone.”

30 YEARS IN PRISON FOR MOVING A BOX OF ZINES.

For some context about why booksellers are concerned about being convicted as "antifa" under Trump's National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), here's that wild, heartbreaking story of Daniel Estrada:

Pamphlets played a significant role in the sentencing of the Prairieland Detention Centre protestors – it’s a telling case of the power of radical social expression

With the timeline to appeal closing in, funds for both appeals and state lawyers are vital.

We encourage you to share this link or host your own fundraising events locally, and we are grateful for your support. Together we will bring the defendants home!

Flyer with dull red and dark blue pixelated background that reads: Help Fund Appeals And State Trials. While federal sentencing for the Prairieland defendants has passed, the defendants are still filing appeals!

Not only that, there are state trials upcoming for everybody. Please don't let the momentum and attention on this case wane!

The defendants need to raise funds for both appeals and state lawyers, which are extremely costly. Not only that, the timeline to appeal is closing in, making the need to pay for lawyers even more pressing.

Share the fundraiser links widely! We encourage you to host your own fundraising events to raise more funds.

Our loved ones did nothing wrong, and they are being thrown away for the rest of their lives. Not only does the evidence prove their innocence, but the actions of ICE and the federal government over the past year have proven the righteousness of their actions.

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.”

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.” Additionally, motions 29 and 33 for acquittal and a new trial were denied from the bench.
