One year ago yesterday, on August 11, 2021, admitted #DAPL saboteur Jessica Reznicek reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Waseca, MN to begin serving her 8 year sentence. unicornriot.ninja/2021/dapl-sabo…
"Today I feel sad to be saying my final goodbyes to loved ones. I am strengthened, however, knowing that I’m still standing with integrity during this very important moment in history, as there truly is no other place to be standing at a time like this.” -Reznicek on 8/11/21
Her sentence includes a domestic terrorism enhancement, which she unsuccessfully appealed. On June 6, 2022, the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the enhancement.
earlier in 2017 at another major racist rally in Pikeville, Kentucky, we interviewed people like @DLamontJenkins who have tracked the white supremacist movement, which was trying to coalesce into a larger presence in U.S. politics
In Pikeville at the April 2017 rally we asked Matthew Heimbach of the now-defunct Traditionalist Worker Party about Holocaust denial and fascist organizing:
Ky NoHeartInWar spoke w/ Unicorn Riot about filming workers at Thacker Pass Lithium Mine take "spearheads" from a gravesite where Paiute/Shoshone were massacred in 1865 & talked about Biden’s Defense Production Act allowing mining projects to supersede treaties & disobey NAGPRA.
Thread 🧵- When Ky NoHeartInWar got a call telling them to get over near to a new digging site in northern Nevada at Thacker Pass, or Peehee Mu’huh (Rotten Moon), they knew it was a “pretty intense” situation.
NoHeartInWar got to the site at Thacker Pass, put their drone into the sky and filmed an individual taking what they say was “spearheads” out of the ground while collecting dirt samples as archeological procedures began for the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in April 2022.
In the wake of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision ending federal protection for abortion access, some people across the country are scrambling to find solutions to the crisis of forced pregnancy and the end of nationwide legal reproductive freedom.
In Arizona, where a law will go into effect in September banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy and where many abortion providers have already stopped providing abortion services, a group of people are responding to the issue directly.
#Palestine: We hear from activists on the ground at four Palestinian protests in the northwestern West Bank area that were suppressed by Israeli forces in the last several months (April-July 2022) along with a funeral for a teenager killed by Israeli forces in Nablus.
↕️🧵Since the 1995 Oslo II Accord, land in the West Bank has been sectioned into three divisions — Area A (Palestinian control), Area B (Palestinian/Israeli control), & the area making up over 60 percent of the West Bank, Area C (solely Israeli controlled). [2013 map v @btselem]
#Palestine: Area C of the West Bank has seen an increase in Israeli settlements and confiscations of Palestinian land. Palestinians in Area C also face a litany of issues that include a lack of schools, healthcare and water. unicornriot.ninja/2022/occupatio…
