Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prairieland Sentencing with Albert
Q: What happened on sentencing day and how did it unfold at the courthouse?
We showed up with literature and faces on signs, stood outside, supported the defendants, and observed that eight defendants were sentenced before lunch, many receiving the maximum terms, which underscored a political dimension to the proceedings rather than a neutral application of the law.
Prairieland Sentencing with Albert
Q: Albert, to start, could you introduce yourself and your relationship to the Prairie Land case?
I'm part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Support Committee, a group of family, friends, and supporters working to bring our friends home and stand with the Prairie Land defendants throughout the legal process.
Non-Profits & Repression with Veryl & Dylan
Q: What can listeners do to navigate and respond to these pressures without sacrificing principles?
Be sober about the systemic collapse, cultivate a collective practice to treat employment sites as tactical spaces for counter-extraction, and build a strong network of movement lawyers and organizers who can sustain resistance while remaining skeptical of state-aligned nonprofit structures.
Non-Profits & Repression with Veryl & Dylan
Q: What does the current legal landscape look like for nonprofits, and how might new policies affect funding and operations?
Recent moves, including proposed terrorist-support designations and executive orders, aim to revoke tax-exempt status and chill advocacy; however, historically, bureaucratic and legislative actions have produced a shifting but persistent pressure—while some measures failed, the environment remains hostile and will likely tighten around left-leaning nonprofits.
Non-Profits & Repression with Veryl & Dylan
Q: Dylan and Veryl, how did the nonprofit industrial complex originate as part of a counterinsurgency strategy against black radicalism?
The nonprofit complex emerged from collaborations among the state, philanthropy, and corporate capital to domesticate grassroots movements, create a 'civil society leadership' aligned with state power, and channel insurrectionary energy into manageable channels like DEI initiatives or formal politics.
