The Far Right riot in Belfast last night was nothing less than “a race-based pogrom”, Belfast MP and leader of the SDLP Claire Hanna said.
The mob hunted down non-whites and set fire to their homes.
Carl Whyte, a local councillor, called it “a hard Far Right element”.
Brian & attorney Chris Parente will be talking about the madness that's been the Broadview 6 experience later this month.
June 25, 7pm

I think finding our way out of this darkness will require us to listen closely to each other.
Sometimes I wonder what the crock of shit juror is thinking watching all of this unfold.
Read this thread and remember that U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros was aware of this misconduct, apparently signed off on redacting the misconduct, and had no issue withholding it from defendants and Judge April Perry.
We must discover who knew about and signed off on the misconduct and the cover up.
crazy willy, crackhead larry, and grave digger joe sounds like an old bruce springsteen lyric
(if you're unfamiliar, this @uproxx.bsky.social interview is a great place to start, not least! because they embedded a coupla great songs from last year's debut album, Restless)

🧵Folks who were around last year may recall that I barged into their TLs, repeatedly & enthusiastically, to sing the praises of Palmyra, then-recently signed to @ohboyrecords.bsky.social (you know, John Prine's label?)
And friends. FRIENDS.
They just released a new single & I AM SO VERY STOKED.

& this point is critical: The process *is* the punishment. Trump's spent his life punishing people for daring to think he owes them anything by bringing frivolous lawsuits. DOJ knew this was bs, but it still served as punishment.
The biggest lesson I'm taking from the Broadview 6 case is that we have NO EARTHLY IDEA the extent to which these same tactics have been used since Trump retook the Oval.
As my friend/co-defendent @brianstraw.bsky.social says (www.oakpark.com/2026/06/09/l...) - this is generational.
The grandest juror.
On one street, hundreds of masked men carrying bottles and bricks set bins on fire and shouted "foreigners out", our reporter says.
