An L.A. activist who handed out protective masks to protesters during anti-ICE demonstrations last month has been indicted on federal counts of conspiracy and aiding civil unrest. My latest: www.latimes.com/california/s...

If they are going to start throwing baseless charges at people then we as citizens have a duty to join as many of these juries as we can and nullify them. We cannot let fascists get away with using the legal system to punish people resisting them without a fight.

But we’ve been told that cops don’t fire “less lethal” munitions at people’s faces, so distributing face shields couldn’t be interfering, right? Right?

According to the indictment, Orellana and at least two others drove around downtown L.A. in a pickup truck distributing Uvex Bionic face shields and other items to a crowd engaged in a protest near the federal building on Los Angeles Street on June 9. Prosecutors allege Orellana was helping protesters withstand less-lethal munitions being deployed by Los Angeles police officers and Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies after an unlawful assembly had been declared.
