Grim news from Texas.
Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants in the Prairieland case on most of the charges—including, to name one example, "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines.

Background on the case:

This verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism. This is only the first of several trials in the case.
This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress resistance of all kinds. Yet this outcome must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them.
On the contrary, it should drive home the stakes of the fight. If we lose, no one will be safe, no matter how obedient and passive. Let's fight them with everything we've got while there is still a chance of victory.
