  1. Veterans For Peace Will Not Be Intimidated by U.S. Government Surveillance

    Veterans For Peace Statement - August 19, 2026
    [screenshot below]

    #VeteransForPeace (#VFP) is not surprised by news reports that our #TwinCities VFP Chapter 27, along with activists and organizations associated with #DirectActionMinnesota (#DAMN), was targeted by the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity (#DHS) for #surveillance. The #Trump regime has repeatedly shown itself to be lawless and to have no respect for truth or the well-being of people in our country or around the world.

    “Trump has repeatedly threatened to take over #Cuba and has deployed #US military ships to seize fuel vessels attempting to arrive on the island.

  11. U.S. Gov’t Attacks Free Speech, Right to Protest in Minnesota
    Justice Department Uses ‘Conspiracy’ Charges to Curtail Dissent

    from #WorldOutlook
    June 28, 2026

    In one of the latest attacks on free speech and the right to #protest, a federal grand jury in Minneapolis has indicted 15 people on felony charges related to protests against Operation Metro Surge last winter. The June 16, 2026, indictment by the U.S. Department of Justice is the latest attempt by the #Trump administration to criminalize its opponents. The case tests how far prosecutors can go to manufacture a criminal conspiracy based on group chats, social media posts, discussions of protest tactics, and efforts to protect privacy using anti-surveillance precautions.

  16. Exclusive: Coalition of Medical groups tells UK government not to enforce 'chilling' NHS censorship on Palestine
    middleeasteye.net/news/exclusi

    from #MiddleEastEye
    12 June 2026

    A coalition of #medical associations representing over 13,000 #healthcare workers in the #UK is calling on the #British government to immediately pause the rollout of a series of measures that would censor pro-#Palestine advocacy within the #NationalHealthService (#NHS).

    Last week the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) endorsed a review into anti- #Jewish hate and other forms of #racism in the NHS by the UK government advisor on #antisemitism, Lord John Mann.

    The review recommends mandatory antisemitism training for 1.5 million NHS staff members, as well as banning them from displaying political symbols in the workplace and preventing them from attending #protests in their uniforms.

  26. FCC Moves to Yank Disney Broadcast Licenses as Trumps Demand ABC Fire Kimmel | Common Dreams
    “This is a clear attack on the First Amendment and a political stunt designed to intimidate critics, retaliate against a comedian practicing free speech through satire, and send a message to anyone who dares to speak out.”

    April 28, 2026

    Press freedom advocates on Tuesday forcefully condemned the #Republican-dominated #FederalCommunicationsCommission—and #FCC Chair #BrendanCarr in particular—for moving to challenge #Disney-owned ABC’s broadcast licenses as President Donald #Trump again pressures to network to fire late-night television host #JimmyKimmel.

    “The #FirstAmendment and the FCC’s mandate do not permit the agency to use broadcast licenses as weapons to punish broadcasters for constitutionally protected content they air,” declared Freedom of the Press Foundation chief of advocacy Seth Stern.
