All remaining charges have been dropped against the "Broadview Six," who were indicted for felony conspiracy last year after a protest at an ICE facility in Illinois. The dismissal was with prejudice, meaning charges cannot be brought again, and was attributed to mishandling of grand jury proceedings, with Judge April Perry saying she had never seen anything worse than what she saw in the unredacted transcripts. Defense attorney Chris Parente says the behavior of the federal prosecutors should "shame every American," and that his clients, including former congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, plan to file a claim with the DOJ's new "anti-weaponization" fund. Here's more from @CBSNews.

Everybody hates #robocalls. But, despite tech reporting being willing to give the #FCC leeway, this new measure is not to stop robocalls, it won’t do a damn thing to stop robocalls. What it does is make burner phones illegal.
Burners are an integral part of many social justice actions. Protestors use them to record #ICE and other #cops. We include them in “Go Bags” to let abused women and children escape. They allow for anonymity.
They are a thorn in the side of the panopticon, and they are moving to eliminate them.
Stock up kids.

this also applies for #2028Olympics. even though they are in Los Angeles, boycott any international event as long as Republicans and this fascist regime are in power.
