  1. 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. 👏

  2. 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.

  3. "Department of Justice prosecutors across the US have suffered a string of embarrassing defeats in their aggressive pursuit of criminal cases against people accused of “assaulting” and “impeding” federal officers."

  4. The UK's Home Secretary is still defending a decision to ban the group Palestine Action. A High Court recently said the ban was unlawful. The Home Secretary says the ban is needed because of alleged criminal acts by the group. Police have arrested people for supporting the group.

  12. 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. ✊💙

  13. 🚔📸 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? 🤖🎭

    The #FirstAmendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest.

    Last Updated: September 3, 2025

    "Overview:

    The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest. However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights. Make sure you’re prepared by brushing up on your rights before heading out into the streets."

    Scenarios covered:

    - I’m organizing a protest
    - I’m attending a protest
    - I want to take pictures or shoot video at a protest
    - I was stopped by the police while protesting
    - I want to share this information on social media

  16. A shocking incident is raising alarms: ICE agents were reportedly on rooftops “shooting rubber bullets” at peaceful protesters who were simply “standing there flipping them off.”

    This blatant abuse of power demands accountability. #BlueCrew #ICE #CivilRights #ProtestRights #UseOfForce

  17. 🚨 The federal government is moving to criminalize supporting anti-ICE protests, targeting nonviolent acts like aiding masked protesters. This crackdown raises serious concerns for civil liberties and protest rights. Read more 👉 theintercept.com/2025/07/23/fe #ProtestRights #CivilLiberties #ICE #Justice #newz

  18. Well I don't know about you, but there's nothing *I* love more than to be lectured by a British-Hungarian-American nazi about why demanding due process before we traffic a man legally residing in the United States with his American family, to a forever torture prison in El Salvador, is actually supporting terrorism; and if powerful administration officials are to be believed, so is protesting against Trump and his fascist regime:

    Trump Adviser Compares Opposing Abrego García’s Detention With Backing Terrorism

    "As independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reported, White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka said in an interview with Newsmax that the divide between the Trump administration, which has sent hundreds of people to a notorious foreign prison without trial and disobeyed a Supreme Court order, and those who oppose its actions boils down to a disagreement between those who “love America” and those who “hate America.”

    Those committed to abandoning constitutional rights guaranteed to anyone on U.S. soil, according to Gorka, are in the former camp.

    “We have people who love America, like the president, like his Cabinet, like the directors of his agencies, who want to protect Americans,” said Gorka. “And then there is the other side, that is on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists.”

    “And you have to ask yourself, are they technically aiding and abetting them?” Gorka said. “Because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime in federal statute.”

    Let's start by stating the obvious: in a just universe, Sebastian Gorka would have been tried, convicted, and "deported" via rocket directly towards the sun years ago; but here in our modern fascist-dominated unreality, this little nazi muppet is the Trump regime's "Senior Director for Counterterrorism." In other words, this bloated fascist toad is the guy literally in charge of going after "terrorists," which if you've been paying attention, is also the word multiple Trump administration officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, and deputy DHS secretary Troy Edgar, have used to describe Tesla vandals, and protestors in general.

    As such, it should absolutely alarm you when Seb Gorka goes on TV, repeats and reinforces the government's fact free claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is literally a "terrorist," and starts accusing people who oppose Trump's illegal "deportation" of Garcia of potentially "aiding and abetting" terrorists; because, again, for some mysterious reason (they're all nazis too) the Trump regime gave this disgraced War on Terror-era reject authority over protecting America from whoever the hell the regime says are "terrorists" apparently. How Gorka finds the time to do so amid his typically busy day of doing Islambophia, warmongering, and spreading fascist ideology, remains a mystery.

    Look, I hate to keep beating the drum about American imperialism and War on Terror policy decisions being why we're in this moment, but ultimately almost everything the Trump regime is trying to do to transform the United States into a fascist dictatorship rises out of those two horrible realities. Trump is using a fake "war" against "gangs" that the president alone has the right to declare "terrorists" for any reason at all, to grant him emergency powers to do all sorts of fascism; and Gorka (as well as other regime officials) are quietly, but repeatedly asserting the regime's right to take this fight against "terrorism" to the streets of America. On its face, none of this is legal; but given the ridiculous Calvinball powers our society has already granted the imperial presidency to make war, fight "invasions," and stop "terrorism," it's entirely possible these chucklefucks will get away with it - especially with a 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court that has already allowed Trump to declare a fake war in the first place, holding final say on the legality of the regime's actions.

  22. The alarming stance of Trump’s new Attorney General, Pam Bondi, prioritizes the arrest of Tesla protesters. She echoes Trump’s orders to aggressively prosecute dissenters, with extreme penalties looming—up to 20 years in prison. This reflects a troubling pattern valuing corporate interests over human rights, contrasting sharply with the administration’s leniency toward January 6 offenders.
