Please be safe, and take their advice on consulting legal counsel before attempting financial and/or technical support. Spread their story far & wide.
The scourge of fascism will come for all of us if we don't fight back when it comes for one of us 🖤 ✊

We can't let the fascists win.
The claims of the U.S. Treasury and State Department are baseless and absurd on a fundamental level. For active enablers and participants in multiple ongoing genocides to claim a peaceful tech collective is a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" would be hilarious if it didn't carry so much weight in this world.
In solidarity with Autistici / Inventati 🖤 ✊
