Agitators are planning a not-too-surprising birthday gift for President Donald Trump on his 79th birthday — yet another anti-Trump demonstration. Organizers say they are hoping to upstage a military parade the president has planned for June 14 in Washington, DC. Refuse Fascism, the group claiming to be behind the event, has held rallies against the Trump administration in downtown Los Angeles and other cities, ABC’s network affiliate Channel 7 reported Sunday. Sunsara Taylor, who is with the group, told the station: Donald Trump is trashing the rule of law, he’s disappearing immigrants, he’s threatening to do the same without any...

"Another day, another protest against a fascist dictatorship." (note the Chelsea Clinton t-shirt)

All hell broke loose at a town hall hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Friday, when the far-left “Squad” member was heckled by a protester for failing to stop the “genocide in Gaza” — who was immediately met with a torrent of boos and hisses. The speculated 2028 presidential candidate was holding a constituent event in Jackson Heights, Queens, when it devolved into chaos after an anti-Israel demonstrator harangued the lawmaker from New York’s 14th Congressional District over the war in Israel. “I am a health care worker, and I want to know what you’re doing about the genocide in Gaza,”...

A growing number of transgender musicians have cancelled events in the U.S. over President Donald Trump’s transgender policies even as the U.K. Supreme Court rules that transgender women are not legally biological women. Over the last few weeks, two Canadian singers have cancelled concert appearances in the U.S. claiming that they fear being “targeted” due to the president’s policies. Last month, Halifax trans non-binary pop artist T. Thomason announced that he was pulling out of All Roads Festival in Belfast, Maine, scheduled for May 16, because he is upset over the Trump administration’s policy that the U.S. government will only...

The FBI reassigned many agents that were photographed kneeling during a 2020 protest after the death of George Floyd. The reassignments are part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to remove “woke” and other politicized elements from within America’s intelligence community. One former FBI official told CNN the reassignments raise concern the bureau bypassed its typical disciplinary process, which can reportedly take months or more than a year to review incidents. “This notion that the bureau would go after these people, it’s just disgusting,” the former official explained. CNN continued:

Thousands of people took part in an anti-immigration rally in Dublin city centre on Saturday, alongside a smaller counter-demonstration. Both passed off without any major incidents with gardaí acting as a cordon between both groups on O’Connell Street. The anti-immigration protest, described by organisers as an Easter Rising commemoration to pay respect to “those who fought and gave their lives to preserve the Irish nation and create the Irish Republic” began at 2pm at the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square. United Against Racism, supported by a number of organisations and members of Opposition parties including Sinn Féin, Labour, People...

A Big Apple mayoral candidate forum turned ugly for former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Wednesday night when a mob of angry protesters ambushed the stage and chanted, “Cuomo lies, people die.” The disgraced pol, who resigned from the governor’s office in 2021 following a slew of scandals, was answering a question about public safety at the Black Agenda’s Democratic mayoral forum at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn when a horde of demonstrators funneled into the auditorium and stormed the stage. The stunt, which elicited audible groans from the audience, only lasted for a few moments before the NYPD attempted...

Marches, protests, phone-banking events, film screenings, and more centered around environmental activism are being organized across the nation for Earth Day, on April 22. Americans are taking to the streets around Earth Day to voice discontent against the Trump administration's "assault on our climate." Earth Day protests have been occurring throughout the month concurrently with other large protest movements including the Hands Off marches, and Tesla Takedowns.

I live near this event (The April 19th Reenactment of the encounter between Colonials and the British at the Old North Bridge) but had only gone to it once before many years ago, and it was rainy with no visibility of the event due to crowd size. I determined it wasn't worth going to again until this anniversary. I thought this would be something I should go to. In 1976, the 200 Year Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I had no opportunity to see any of it because I was an E2 Airman Apprentice doing Scullery Duty in the...

The First Amendment is not a suicide pact between a nation and foreigners who wish it harm.Last week, an immigration judge ruled that the Trump administration met the legal requirements under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to deport Mahmoud Khalil, who is a U.S. permanent resident and also a prominent pro-Palestinian political organizer.As a quick refresher, the arrest of Khalil is part of a broader crackdown by the Trump administration on revoking the student visas of political activists who have taken part, or supported, the Pro-Palestinian/Anti-Israel movements that have taken hold of American college campuses since the Oct. 7...

Workers and their families are finding catharsis at the Gorman Road overpass, a hot spot in Howard County for political messaging....

Tens of thousands of protesters descended on DC Saturday as part of nationwide “Hands Off!” rallies against spending cuts from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and President Trump’s new “Liberation Day” tariffs — with one speaker calling on the crowd to make the two men “afraid.” The huge crowd assembled with homemade — and in many cases vulgar — anti-Republican signs near the Washington Monument while similar events unfolded in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. “Trump and Musk, who want to be dictators and want to be kings and lords, they are afraid of the power of...

Hundreds of "Hands Off" protests will be held across the country Saturday, April 5, aimed at sending a message to President Donald Trump and his controversial billionaire adviser Elon Musk. Dozens of the protests are scheduled around Massachusetts, including one on Boston Common, starting at 11 a.m. at the Parkman Bandstand. What is the Hands Off protest? According to a statement from national organizers, "Hands Off" is a "national day of action" that will bring members of Congress, community leaders and "everyday people" together to "call on Trump and Elon Musk to take their hands off the programs that the...

Several Columbia University students have chained themselves to a gate to protest Mahmoud Khalil's detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The students began protesting outside Columbia University's St. Paul’s Chapel on Wednesday afternoon, demanding that the institution release the names of the trustees "who gave Mahmoud Khalil’s name to ICE." The Columbia Palestine Solidarity Committee wrote on X that "We will not leave until our demand is met." "FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL. NAME THE TRUSTEE. Jewish students will not leave. They will remain chained to the campus gates until @Columbia University is held accountable. WHO REPORTED MAHMOUD TO ICE?" the...

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, who ditched his Tesla last month, refused to label recent violence at Tesla dealerships in protest of Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts as "domestic terrorism," a term that has been used by Republicans and the Justice Department. "Certainly vandalism and it's a crime," Kelly told Fox News Digital when asked if the violence at Tesla dealerships in response to DOGE amounted to terrorism. "It's a significant crime, especially if you're going to firebomb a car or vandalize somebody's vehicle or even key somebody's vehicle. They shouldn't be doing it. And these should...

After thousands of Gazans took to the streets last week in a rare display of defiance against the Hamas terror group, a strategic advisor for a Christian advocacy group believes it is "unconscionable" for anti-Israel activists in the West to continue supporting Hamas. Phillip Dolitsky, an Orthodox Jew who works on issues related to foreign policy for The Philos Project, a United States-based nonprofit that equips Christians to support Israel and the Jewish people, says the ongoing Israel-Hamas war is not the sole focus of the protests in Gaza. "They want Hamas out," Dolitsky told The Christian Post. "And I...

MERIDIAN, Idaho — On Saturday at approximately 1 p.m., a protest in front of the Tesla dealership on Franklin Road in Meridian turned violent when one protester struck another counterprotester with their vehicle. According to a release from the Meridian Police Department, 70-year-old Christopher Talbot of Meridian made an "obscene gesture" towards a 49-year-old before hitting the same person with their car. The victim had just parked his truck, which was adorned with pro-Trump flags, and exited the vehicle when Talbot hit him with his car. After being hit, the 49-year-old transported himself to a nearby hospital, where he was...

A group of Columbia University grads tore up their diplomas on campus over the weekend to protest the school’s cooperation with the Trump administration, and the feds’ detention of former student and anti-Israel demonstration leader Mahmoud Khalil. The rally, which took place during the Ivy League university’s annual Alumni Day celebration Saturday, included students as well as a few dozen graduates of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs — with the crowd chanting, “Free Palestine!” “It’s not easy to do this, with none of us doing this lightly. There’s no joy in this,” said Amali Tower, a 2009 SIPA...

Protests have erupted across northern Gaza on Tuesday as Palestinians call for an end to the conflict with Israel — and declaring that they’re “sending a message to the entire world” that they want Hamas to permanently leave the war-torn Strip. Hundreds of Palestinians were seen marching in the cities of Beit Lahia and Jabalia with signs that read, “Stop the war,” as civilians waved around white flags and chanted “Hamas out,” viral videos on social media show. The demonstration in Beit Lahia, which began in front of the Indonesian Hospital, saw the crowd vocally condemning Hamas’ rule and demanding...
