  1. Congressman Is Ousted by #DemocraticSocialist in #Michigan House Primary

    Representative #ShriThanedar is among a wave of Democratic incumbents in Congress whom primary voters have sent packing in a surge of anti-incumbent fervor this cycle.

    By Bayliss Wagner, Aug. 5, 2026

    "Democratic primary voters ousted Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, nominating a democratic socialist for a deep-blue district in the latest sign of the party’s hunger for new blood.

    "Mr. Thanedar narrowly lost to #DonavanMcKinney, a state representative, in the 13th Congressional District, which includes parts of #Detroit and its suburbs. The race was called on Wednesday morning.

    "Both candidates are progressive and support policies like funding universal health care and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But Mr. McKinney, 34, who is Black and grew up in Detroit, has contrasted his background with that of Mr. Thanedar, 71, an Indian immigrant who was elected to Congress in 2022. Mr. Thanedar’s victory that year left Detroit, a city that is roughly three-quarters Black, without a Black representative in Washington for the first time in decades.

    "The primary also highlighted Democratic voters’ continued backlash against lawmakers who support Israel. Mr. McKinney has condemned the war in Gaza as a '#genocide' and campaigned with fellow #ProPalestinian Democrats, including Dr. #AbdulElSayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan’s marquee Senate race. Mr. Thanedar, in contrast, has consistently voted to fund aid for the Jewish state."

  6. #MassiveAttack banned from #Singapore after #ProPalestine display at show

    by Tessa Wong, July 31, 2026

    "Singapore authorities are investigating Massive Attack after the British band reportedly expressed #ProPalestinian sentiments during a performance in the city-state.

    "According to local media reports and eyewitness accounts on social media, two members of Massive Attack held up a Palestinian flag at the show on Wednesday, and reportedly shouted '#FreePalestine', with some in the audience joining them.

    "The BBC has contacted the organisers of the Singapore show and Massive Attack's management company for comment. Neither have responded yet.

    "Singapore has strict rules on public speech and what it deems as demonstrations, arguing that it is necessary to regulate them to protect social harmony.

    "Authorities have previously investigated public events related to the Israel-Gaza war. Earlier this year they fined several people for organising an unauthorised walk in support of the #Palestinian cause.

    "In response to BBC queries on Friday, a spokesperson for the police and the media authority said that 'reports were lodged and investigations are ongoing'.

    "The spokesperson also said that the media authority is investigating a possible breach of licence conditions. Performances in Singapore, including concerts, usually require a permit.

    "The BBC has asked Singapore authorities whether the band members or anyone involved in the production of the show have been detained or barred from leaving Singapore pending investigations. Authorities have yet to respond.

    "Massive Attack is currently on a world tour, with Wednesday's performance their only date in Singapore. Their next show is due to be held in Seoul on Saturday.
    The band, which pioneered the trip-hop genre, has long been known for its openly political stance on a number of issues, including the war in #Gaza.

    "Massive Attack's frontman #RobertDelNaja was arrested earlier this year when he took part in a demonstration in London. He was accused of showing support for #PalestineAction, which is a proscribed organisation in the UK."

  11. #RightToProtest is under attack in #England and #Wales, reports warn
    #HumanRightsWatch and Justice say recent legislative changes have had a chilling effect and should be repealed

    by Haroon Siddique
    Thu 8 Jan 2026

    "The right to protest is under attack in England and Wales with laws trampling over human rights protections and more oppressive restrictions in the pipeline, two major reports have warned.

    "Both Human Rights Watch and the cross-party law reform organisation Justice say recent legislative changes have created a chilling effect on lawful protest and should be repealed. Their reports, simultaneously published on Thursday, also say that proposals for more curbs should be halted.

    "They highlight the arrest of Republic #AntiMonarchy protesters during King Charles’s coronation, charges and arrests of #ProPalestinian demonstrators and long sentences for #ClimateProtesters as examples of the crackdown on the right to peaceful dissent.

    "Fiona Rutherford, chief executive of Justice, said: 'Year by year, we see police powers grow, as our fundamental right to protest is treated more like a privilege. The law in this area has become dangerously unbalanced, empowering the state to silence voices it should be safeguarding. Reversing this trend is essential to restoring trust, protecting rights and preserving a healthy democracy.'

    "Lydia Gall, a senior Europe and Central Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, said: 'The UK is now adopting protest-control tactics imposed in countries where democratic safeguards are collapsing. The UK should oppose such measures, not replicate and endorse them.'

    "Both reports say that the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 and the #PublicOrderAct 2023 were watershed moments, criminalising large amounts of previously lawful protest activity and placing a greater emphasis on preemptive containment of protest through criminal law.

    The 2022 law granted police authority to impose conditions on public assemblies on grounds such as causing 'serious unease' or being 'too noisy', described by Human Rights Watch as 'vague and subjective'.

    "Members of the public can be arrested for carrying items – described as innocuous by Justice – including cable ties, bike locks or glue, on suspicion that they may be used for 'locking‑on'."

  21. It is impossible to be #ProPalestinian without donating
    money to the survival of #Gazans.

    If you are a person who has never once given to a Gazan family, circulated a link, asking your friends
    to contribute, I beg you to do so today.

    It is heartbreaking to watch airstrikes, but it’s also painful to see “#supporters”leave Gazans on their own, waiting in limbo,among the rubble.

    Be consistent today.
    Part with a little of your money.
    Be brave today.
    Ask others to do the same.
