"It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues." https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-caught-paying-nazis-to-post-on-facebook

"So far in the US, Futurism has counted at least 37 arrests stemming from protests related to data centers this year. There were an additional 12 cases where police intervened to prevent protestors or speakers from confronting civic leaders, though in reality that number is likely much higher, as these cases aren’t as likely to make the news." https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/regular-people-data-center-arrest-protest

"Hundreds of protesters headed to Blue Ash on Sunday to rally outside of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility as Haitians were called in for check-ins at the facility following the termination of their Temporary Protected Status, organizers Ignite Peace and the Miami Valley Immigration Coalition said. On social media, the coalition said that more than 500 people lined the streets around the ICE facility, which is located at the corner of Kenwood Road and Malsbary Road."...

More than 1K people came out and hit the streets of Fishers, #Indiana, in direct opposition to former DHS official and fascist saluting white supremacist Greg Bovino speaking at an anti-immigrant rally alongside GOP bureaucrats. The fascist rally drew less than 100 in a pathetic muddy field.

"The Minneapolis–St. Paul area has become a focal point of resistance to federal immigration enforcement, with sustained demonstrations following intensified ICE operations across the region. In June 2026, federal authorities arrested 15 members and associates of Direct Action Minnesota, bringing national attention to the movement. GrayStak contributor Andy Thayer sat down with two of the defendants, Callum “Cal” Robinette and Isaac Sant. Framed as an activist-to-activist conversation rath...

"ICE’s killings of Guerrero and Salgado Araujo also share the cruelty used in the fatal shooting of Renée Good in Minneapolis. ICE officers also claimed that Good tried to “weaponize” her car against them, justifying their use of lethal force. “Weaponizing” one’s vehicle seems to be the government’s go-to excuse for lethal force. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin reportedly used the same terminology to justify ICE fatally shooting Guerrero. Yet, it’s the ICE officers who are turn...

"An employee of The GEO Group, the private-prison company that operates the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Aurora, has been arrested in connection with a shooting of a woman outside the facility Thursday night, Aurora police said. Brandon Booth, 42, was arrested on suspicion of charges that include attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault and felony menacing, according to an Aurora Police Department release. The shooting occurred just outside the facil...

"Defeated on the streets by enraged demonstrators who have successfully resisted Trump’s storm troopers everywhere that they have invaded, and stymied when they have brought individual cases against the protesters, the government has now resorted, with mixed success, to broad disruptive conspiracy prosecutions that harken back to the Smith Act prosecutions of alleged Communists in the 1950s and the prosecutions of the New Left and the Black Panthers in the late 1960s. This escalating attack...

"Three Stop Cop City activists had their felony charges dismissed today, just two months after Attorney General Chris Carr filed new charges against them, four years after their arrest, in what supporters called a politically motivated indictment. Cobb County District Court Judge Robert E. Flournoy III dismissed the charges today in a pretrial motions hearing, based on due process violations by Carr’s office. Hannah Kass, Katie Kloth, and Tyler Norman, called the “Cobb County 3” by supporte...

&quot;Philosophy professor Idris Robinson has sued Texas State University officials, asserting that the school violated his constitutional rights by ending his contract after he gave a talk on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict off-campus in another state where a fight broke out, the Guardian has learned. Robinson’s complaint names the school’s president, Kelly Damphousse, three top college officials, and the school’s board of regents. It concerns one of the more drawn-out and unusual cases o...

Dining halls across the University of California system were liberated by strikers and opened to the wider community. Here&#39;s a communique from Santa Cruz: &quot;Practices of horizontalism, decentralization, mutual support, and self-management survive here and now, there and tomorrow, not only as a legacy of a remote past, but as a project for a liberating future. We claim these as our weapons in the capitalist war against subsistence. Utopia is here, right under our noses, but we s...

&quot;Laura Sullivan (neé Sennett) passed away on this week after a battle with Stage 4 cancer. Laura was one of the pillars of One People’s Project, the antifascist organization founded by the legendary Daryle Lamont Jenkins. Laura and her husband Mike, who passed away in 2024, were friends and mentors to many of us who track and organize against fascism and hate groups. We deeply feel their loss.&quot; https://leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/in-memoriam-laura-mike-sullivan/

&quot;140 years ago the state hanged anarchist workers, the majority of them migrants, in Chicago for daring to organize and fight. Albert Parsons, August Spies, George Engel, and Adolph Fischer were killed not for any crime, but for the threat they posed as organizers of a multiracial, internationalist working class capable of shutting down the machinery of capital and state. Through their martyrdom May 1st was remade as May Day, a holiday for the global working class to reflect and recommi...
