Trump's corrupt DOJ (thanks to George Santos' former attorney) is making fake investigations of Gavin Newsom. https://www.ms.now/news/gov-gavin-newsom-says-justice-department-is-investigating-him-and-his-wife Newsom is filing FOIA requests to get to the bottom of this corruption. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2026/06/15/governor-newsom-demands-records-from-trumps-doj-about-politically-motivated-investigation/ #uspol #democracy #trump #gop #corruption #newsom #impeachtrump

Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media. I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested. This is not a drill. If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users. They need you more than you need them. Make them fight for your rights. Do not comply. Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊ #StopIDSurveillance #AgeVerification #Privacy #HumanRights #Democracy #Safety #MassSurveillance #Authoritarianism

Report: Palestine Action Activists Sentenced As Terrorists received sentences of up to eight years. Defense's Rajiv Menon said "the terrorist connection ruling would be dramatic & draconian & would affect the defendants for the rest of their lives." He said the ruling was "the first time a terrorism connection has been invoked in a case limited to property damage." https://novaramedia.com/2026/06/12/palestine-action-activists-will-be-sentenced-as-terrorists-court-confirms/ #UKPol #EUPol #USPol #Filton6 #democracy #autocracy #news #palestine #palestineAction .
