Why We Have to Fight Back Against ICE Protesters’ Terror Convictions

Since his first inauguration, Trump has been throwing charges at protesters and seeing what sticks. He always failed — until now.

Natasha Lennard, March 17 2026

Excerpt: "It started on President Donald Trump’s very first day in office in 2017. Over 200 #InaugurationDay #protesters were mass arrested and charged with hefty riot and conspiracy felonies for simply being present and wearing black at a rowdy demonstration.

"Since then, the government has sought and failed to convict left-wing activists on thin, unconstitutional claims of collective guilt.

"Just as the J20 prosecutions, as the inauguration cases were known, fell apart, so too did cases accusing dozens of participants in the Atlanta-based #StopCopCity movement of #DomesticTerrorism, #racketeering, and conspiracy.

"It became a pattern of sorts. Prosecutors on both the federal and state level throwing extreme and overreaching charges at leftists, based on infirm theories of collective liability, aiming to paint #antifascist, #AntiRacist movements as criminal terrorist networks. The evidence marshaled in these cases was consistently no more than typical #FirstAmendment-protected activity, like making protest signs, raising bail funds, or being present at a demonstration. The cases drained movement energies and resources.
Again and again, though, they failed.

"This was the pattern repeated in the malign, overreaching cases against protesters in #FortWorthTX. The #AntiICE activists had mounted a demonstration at a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement jail in nearby #Alvarado.
There were consistencies with other anti-protest cases. There had been some illegal activity outside the #PrairielandDetentionFacility last July, and a police officer was shot. The government latched onto these circumstances to build its strategy of criminalizing dissent through guilt by association.

"Even in conservative Texas, I didn’t think a jury would buy the government’s case that these defendants were 'North Texas Antifa Cell operatives' — an organization fabricated whole cloth by the Trump administration — who had orchestrated an elaborate ambush of the ICE facility.

" 'Most people looking at this case are still stuck on the shooting aspect, but the jury decided the shooting was beside the point,' a member of a support group for the defendants told me. 'The verdict is that a normal #NoiseDemo deserves to be called terrorism and people should spend potentially the rest of their lives in prison. The implications of this are obvious, and people should know that the DOJ is going to try this again.' "

Want to help identify Nazis (“white Nationalists”) in Canada?
Of course you do! Check out the link to antihate.ca!

This summer there was a conference in Vancouver that had people come from all over Canada and elsewhere to talk about being hateful, horrible, human beings.

Help the Anti Hate Network identify and expose these people so we can keep our communities safe (especially if you go to a local gym or martial arts studio!)

"We speak with award-winning Palestinian American artist and filmmaker Emily Jacir, whose event in Berlin in October was canceled after Israel launched its ongoing assault on Gaza. Jacir decries a pattern of “harassment, baseless smear campaigns, canceling shows, canceling talks” conducted against Palestinian artists in Germany and around the world. “It’s very much part of a coordinated movement,” she says, connecting global censorship of diasporic Palestinian voices with the violent “targeted destruction of culture in Gaza,” which she calls a “part of genocide.”

#introduction I guess it’s time for me to introduce myself, lol, finally. I’m a wife, mom, grandma, lover of #health, #wellness, and #fitness #DEI, #DEIJ, #christian, #leader, #motivator, #supporter. 70s baby (1973). From the Windy City now in the Queen City. I post topics and want to have open conversations related to #racism #dei #diversity #DiversityEquityInclusion #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #BlackFediverse #BlackFedi #BIPoc #black #mastodon #antiracist #asian #indigenous #mena #native

Seems like introduction posts are the way to find one's people around here, though my introvert side has been procrastinating. It's one thing to talk about yourself when meeting new folks directly - we ADHD folk are often TOO good at that. But, to just blast a "THIS IS ME COME BE MY FRIEND" with a pile of hashtags relevant to my interests seems a bit...thirsty. But...ok, "When in Rome, etc"
My favorite things about the bird site were connecting with other neurodivergent / neuroatypical folks, getting book recommendations in scifi, fantasy, mystery, history, historicalfiction, ecology, science, and really anything else good. I like to read. I also loved seeing quality fanart come down my feed, poetry, and any other creative expressions from the non-famous, but crazy-talented masses putting themselves out there.

I have a couple of great kids, and a lovely husband about whom I don't share details in public forums. I try to get out into nature, particularly forests here in Eugene, Oregon, as much as possible. I'm trailrunning, slowly, and I have a dog companion who wishes I were faster. I love singing, and I play the ukulele (badly, but I'm getting better). I also have curlyhair, and the internet has been a lifesaver for that, so maybe that's a thing here too? Also baking, cooking, cake, hygge, mindfulness meditation, and more kinds of music than I can list in here (but ska might be my favorite, today at least).

I'm an LGBTQI ally, antiracist, progressive, feminist, atheist, and I give freemomhugs. I sometimes get things wrong, but I'm listening and learning. I can't stand a bully.

I am likely to get really excited and infodump if you ask me about Salesforce, Shakespeare, foxes, embroidery, The Stormlight Archive, or Muppets.

Whew! That's a lot! I'm kinda a lot some times, but so are most of my favorite people. Hi, Mastodon!

*Edit* I've heard that in-text hashtags can make reading posts a nightmare for those who listen to the internet rather than read with eyes. Accessibility is a good thing, so I moved all my hashtags down to the bottom.
