Thank you to @udhumanrights for co-authoring this report to the @UN Human Rights Committee on political repression & #StopCopCity. Gratitude to @theCCR & @CommunityMvt for your thematic report. Sending power to @KMichelle_Atl who is in Geneva advocating. Tell our brave stories.
Last month, the @southerncenter and @udhumanrights submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Committee documenting the government’s repression of the movement to Stop Cop City and Defend the Atlanta Forest.

it is a lot, and enraging, but I'd encourage folks to read this if they can get through it. Particularly the parts about mutual aid, collectivism, and social solidarity as they are framed with in this indictment. I find all of it unsettling and upsetting, but that bit especially.

Here is our story on the news of the RICO indictments that we broke earlier today.

The Cop City RICO indictments allege the date when George Floyd was murdered by the police as the start of the "racketeering enterprise." Let that sink in.
The day a movement to abolish the police took on new life is the day for them a criminal enterprise was born.

Breaking news: In the first ruling of its kind nationwide, a Montana state court decided Monday in favor of young people who alleged the state violated their right to a “clean and healthful environment” by promoting the use of fossil fuels.
The court determined that a provision in the Montana Environmental Policy Act has harmed the state’s environment and the young plaintiffs, by preventing Montana from considering the climate impacts of energy projects. wapo.st/3OR7zZv

Black Letter Law Ken is 'explaining' to Feminist Approaches to International Law Barbie why 'there's no such thing as gendered international law'. It's going about as well as you'd expect. She's hoping he tries telling TWAIL Barbie that PIL doesn't reinforce colonial hegemonies.

1/Nine years have passed since Mike Brown was shot and killed by a police officer named Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. For at least four hours, his lifeless body lay in the middle of Canfield Drive. In the aftermath, people took to the streets of Ferguson for over 400 days.

The Dayton Police Department has quit ShotSpotter, the controversial gunshot detection tool.
But a DPD representative told Bolts the department was never aware of the locations of sensors nor when — or even if — they were removed from Dayton’s streets: boltsmag.org/dayton-shotspot…

for @thenation, I wrote about last week's politically motivated arrests/kidnappings of bail fund organizers, the broader state repression of protest against Cop City, and what this means for Atlanta (and the rest of the country) thenation.com/article/activi…

“In every other space, these 2 factions claim to strongly dislike each others’ politics, but they agree on the repression of protest,” says Tiffany Roberts “It all comes down to a so-called progressive man wielding conservative politics.” time.com/6284605/atlanta-cop…

This morning, three SolFund organizers were arrested in an attempt to cut off protestors from legal aid. We remain unafraid and stand strong in fighting to protect civil liberties.

For months, Georgia has used a state domestic terrorism law to punish people protesting the construction of a $90 million police training facility.
Now, the state has sent a militarized SWAT team to target people leading a bail fund supporting protesters. theintercept.com/2023/05/31/…
