Big win for democracy! NSW’s top court just struck down those rushed post Bondi terror attack protest laws as unconstitutional. Chief Justice Bell ruled they impermissibly burdened free speech rights. Police can’t blanket ban rallies anymore. 👏

On 29 March 2026, the Dutch cabinet (led by PM Rob Jetten) approved a bill allowing police to monitor public social media, collect names and messages of demonstrators - even if they’ve committed no offence. Reason: better control of protests.
Justice Minister David van Weel calls it "21st-century policing". The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights strongly criticise the proposal for lacking clear boundaries, risking mass tracking, discrimination, and threats to privacy, free speech, and the right to protest.
Now heading to Parliament. A dangerous precedent for Europe.
I want to bring this to your attention @bitsoffreedom

Silencing protest through heavy policing and special powers raises serious questions about democracy and civil rights. Disagreement is not a crime. Voices for justice should be heard, not threatened. True strength of a state lies in protecting freedom of expression. #HumanRights #FreeSpeech #ProtestRights #Justice https://www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1447/news/minns-invokes-more-draconian-powers-against-herzog-protesters

Kaden Rummler, 21, an anti-ICE protester in Santa Ana, CA, was permanently blinded in one eye after being struck by a so-called “non-lethal” round. Skull fractures. Metal and glass lodged in his head.
DHS claims “violent rioters.” BlueCrew calls this what it is: brutality, not justice. ✊💙

🚔📸 Apparently, the police have discovered a magical #surveillance toy called Flock ALPR, using it like a toddler with a new toy to keep tabs on anyone who dares to protest. Who needs #privacy when you have license plate recognition and a penchant for Big Brother cosplay? 🤖🎭
