This response is published anonymously and intended to be part of the current dialogue surrounding the harms of talking to the state surrounding the Prairieland cases. It's writers have been active in prisoner support, defendant support, and anti repression for several years, strongly support the DFW Support Committee and have a lot of for respect Fire Ant Movement Defense. If there was no respect present, this response would have been much shorter. Building, maintaining, and supporting infrastructures that can sustain mass anti repression campaigns and support cases like this with many defendants is an extremely important and useful thing, as we have seen in the recent cases in Minneapolis, politically targeted cases like Prairieland are only going to increase in frequency and audacity. Projects like Fire Ant Movement Defense are vital, which is why it is so important that our values regarding anti-repression have strong foundations and consistency.
