Update and Thoughts from Behind the Walls – by Caleb Freestone

From Mongoose Distro

It’s January’s full moon, the Wolf Moon. As I approach three months incarcerated, a quarter of my sentence should I serve it in full, I thought I’d write you all. I exist, although surely there are those who wish the world forget me.

Yazoo isn’t as bad as I expected – Miami-Dade jail is certainly far worse. At least we aren’t fed bricks (bologna or pb+j on bread wrapped in plastic). However, the isolation is awful by design.

My name is Annarella Rivera, my friends call me Rivers. I am a mother of two wonderful boys and a cat.

Two of my friends Amber Smith-Stewart & Caleb Freestone were indicted by a grand jury on 01/23/2023 and Gabby & I on 02/01/2024 under the FACE Act, accused of vandalizing (graffiti) 3 crisis pregnancy centers (FAKE CLINICS!!) while simultaneously being charged by the state and the Archdiocese of Miami on RICO and Conspiracy charges, called a SLAPP suit, taking away our 5th amendment rights.

Vandalism at Indiana University – Bloomington, Indiana

In solidarity with Indigenous People's Day of Rage, I painted "Stolen Land" across the stone entrance to the Indiana University Foundation in Bloomington, Indiana. The IUF exists to maximize private investments for IU, an institution (like all universities) that runs on exploitation, environmental destruction and continued expansion across stolen indigenous land. Until all universities are destroyed!

From Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, July 2, 2024

Original title: Thailand: "There's nothing I fear anymore after spraypainting the palace walls that day"

"There's nothing I fear anymore, after spraypainting the palace walls that day, I can see courage, dare to take risks, dare to face them. Because even though I have to go to prison, they still can't stop me, and they can't shut down my thoughts.” A strong sentence from the interview where the Punk Art artist confirmed he was ready to accept every situation that would arise after the court decision.
