Major props to @billshaner.bsky.social for spending two days in court documenting the trial, the details and for also just being an outstanding G as my young son called him when Bill lent Danny a charger. We are fortunate to have Bill’s outstanding work & analysis.

They showed they’re willing and able to selectively charge ppl for political purposes and the court showed us they’re active facilitators and collaborators in all of that, eroding any notion they administer a fair system or are concerned at all with justice. So who lost exactly?

On one side we have a dedicated community organizer with six months probation and on the other side we have a police dept spending two days showing us they collaborated with ICE, will do so in the future, don’t follow their own use of force policies, don’t know what de-escalation means don’t care

@etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social is the conscience of a community. She has been vilified and targeted and ultimately failed by this city, but she remains committed to justice, not for herself, but for our black and brown and homeless and trans neighbors. She is the best of us.

My family and I are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and love we’ve received throughout this process. It was important that I publicly challenged systems of power that sustain each-other and hold police behavior to a different standard. Prosecuting mothers for protecting mothers isn’t justice. Nine months ago, federal agents kidnapped a member of our community, a mother and my constituent. They separated a family and inflicted irreparable harm. My heart breaks at the brutality being unleashed on our neighbors and many others held captive in detention camps. On May 8, we did what ordinary people are doing across the country: we stood between masked armed federal agents and a mother. The murders of Keith Porter Jr, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, the killings and kidnappings of Black and brown immigrant neighbors, remind us who the real aggressors are. Worcester’s leaders chose to vilify us, a community that responded with love. They remained silent and demanded no accountability when our police department violently arrested a traumatized 17-year-old. They enabled the Police Union’s bullying and blamed the community for the Worcester Police Department’s lack of preparation to de-escalate a situation that posed danger to unarmed civilians. To date, there has been no public response on how the Worcester Police Department could have responded differently. At every juncture, the justice system tried to shame me into admitting something I did not do. The Clerk Magistrate argued that my behavior as an elected official should be held to a higher standard, while overlooking the conduct of the Worcester Police. My standard is protecting my constituents and Worcester Police should be held to the same constitutional standard as everyone. The special prosecutor asked that I repent by issuing a direct apology, in exchange for dropping the charges with probation. I chose the truth. I have dedicated my life to building community and defending people’s rights. …

"For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up a fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally I noticed that enough of them keep voting with the Republicans to always make sure the Republicans more or less win almost every fight, and that they keep starting from a Center position and bargaining to the Right, and eventually after enough of that it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts: The Democrats are not overmatched, they aren't weak, they aren't cowards... they're complicit."

Liberals stop supporting Western regime change operations, just because you've been told (by fascists) to dislike that country, challenge
Liberals welcoming a trojan horse into their city. The Trojan horse is, performative gestures about "Free Iran". Inside the Trojan horse is just plain old Western imperialism.

@prisonculture.bsky.social can you help us amplify this flier? ❤️
Stand with Etel and Ashley. Say no to ICE. Pack the courtroom. No posters t-shirts allowed Tuesday starting at 8:30 am. February 10th. Room #23. Worcester Courthouse 225 Main Street. Back in May Ashley Spring and Etel Haxhiaj joined a community response to an ICE attack on Eureka Street, the first of its kind community response and a movement that has now spread across the country. Eight months later Ashley and Etel still face a jury trial for their actions of compassion, defense and courage.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
