After taking a trip out of the country, leaving his home in Portland, Oregon, to visit Sudan in 2010, Yonas Fikre was approached by FBI agents who tried to recruit him as a government informant. Most likely because he refused the FBI’s advances, he was arrested, tortured, and interrogated, and then placed on a No Fly list. He was stuck outside the US for 6-or-so years. That story is itself appalling, and we’ll hear it in more depth in just a moment, but, on Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled with a

Returning to our ongoing coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, we take a look now at one of the ways we may be feeling the impact of that war here in the U.S. According to FBI statements, they are investigating thousands of threats that have to do with radicalization in the US as a result of the genocide. It could be part of a rhetorical build up to continue to over-fund national security agencies.

Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, sexually assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder
