"Do you intend to answer that for every question?" How activists should respond to a grand jury subpoaena.
Grand juries are used to threaten political activists in two ways: 1) by threatening prison time for those who refuse to talk about their political beliefs and political associations and 2) by using these threats, combined with secretive proceedings, to intimidate and disrupt the broader social movement. Here's how one activist anarchist handled it.

FBI Supplied the Anarchist "Terrorists" Arrested in May Day Plot
a plot by the FBI that continues a pattern of behavior in "terrorism" investigations against political activists. Most importantly, undercover FBI agents helped shape the "plot," offered advice on how and where to use explosives, and allegedly sold explosives to the activists.

Utah Bill: Videotaping a Factory Farm is Same as Assaulting a Police Officer

The FBI and Federal Prosecutors Say My Journalism Is "Extremist"

FBI Says Activists Who Investigate Factory Farms Can Be Prosecuted as Terrorists
if this type of legislation is not overturned, it will set a precedent for corporations to use this model against Occupy Wall Street and anyone else who threaten business as usual.

"Ag Gag" Bill Reintroduced in Florida, as Animal Activist Faces Felony for Photography
Corporations & the politicians who represent them are chipping away at constitutional rights. Bit by bit, year by year, the net widens as they target an ever-growing group of people, such as those who photograph facilities that have sent whales to Sea World, and those who expose animal cruelty on factory farms.

Why Wikileaks is Labeled a "Terrorist Organization," and the Mainstream Press is Not
The true threat of Wikileaks, and the reason it is being labeled a terrorist organization is not the content of its documents but the premise of its work.
Wikileaks is a "threat" because it challenges the secrecy, control and power upon which all mainstream media outlets and authoritarian regimes depend.

Journalists Who Oppose Wikileaks Are a Disgrace to the Craft
The most damning revelations from Wikileaks are not diplomatic cables or military videos, but a clear picture of the state of the American media. This is why Wikileaks is being labeled a terrorist organization, and the mainstream press is not. Wikileaks has illuminated the failures of the mainstream press, and the backlash by top-tier journalists reflects their sycophanting and delusional relationships with government power.

FBI Raids [Insert Social Movement Here] Activists
f activist communities are going to survive this repression and move forward, and if we are going to welcome others to join us, we must lay claim to a space between the extremes of patriotic naiveté and hopelessness.

Calling the Discovery Channel Hostage Taker a "Radical Environmentalist" is Irresponsible and Inaccurate
A hostage crisis at the Discovery Channel building has ended with the attacker shot dead, and pundits and reporters are rushing to label him a "radical environmentalist," "eco-terrorist," and "environmental activist." . For talking heads, it is a good soundbite for pushing their political agenda, and for the press is makes a sexier headline, but the label just doesn't make any sense.

Did "Eco-Terrorists" Cause the Gulf Oil Spill?
The oil spill in the Gulf is on track to surpass the Exxon Valdez as the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. That doesn't bode well financially for BP, and it doesn't bode well politically for the drill-baby-drill crowd. So how has the far right responded?
By trying to blame it on "eco-terrorists."
