As the death toll of Palestinians continues to rise and more than a half a million people in Gaza are on the brink of famine,
U.S.-based Veterans For Peace and several allied organizations have launched a
40-day “Fast for Gaza.”
From May 22 to June 30, 600 people in the U.S. and abroad are fasting
and demanding full humanitarian aid to Gaza under UN authority
and an end to U.S. weapons shipments to Israel.

Veterans launch 40-day fast to protest Israel’s starvation of Gaza
“Having seen what war does … I simply have to do more than hold a sign at a demonstration,” said one veteran organizer.

„Laut einer Sprecherin der Besetzer richtet sich der Protest gegen die Kürzungspolitik des Berliner Senats und die Umwandlung von Wohnraum in Büroflächen. Man habe die seit vielen Jahren leerstehende ehemalige Kantine besetzt, die für einen Büro-Neubau abgerissen werden solle.“
Gut so.

As always: #ACAB. And especially fuckers who lead your local PD, even if they come from other departments (like sanitation). https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/30

Nachbarin mäht schon wieder ihr Handtuch, obwohl alles dürr ist. Sie können und vor allem wollen es nicht verstehen. Alles muss ordentlich und praktisch-quadratisch sein. Nein, das ist eben nicht gut. Vielleicht auch purer Protest, weil wir die Wiese, auf die sie blicken stehen lassen. Von #MähfreierMai haben sie zwar gehört, ignorieren es aber ganz bewusst. Auch den Aufruf der Stadt

"The Christian right has its own version of events: Innocent Christian worshippers were mobbed at a city park by anti-Christians and the city endorsed their persecution. But this was not the story they were telling on social media before the protest. In their words, the rally was intended to be a battle in a spiritual war. Against the child “butchers,” the demonic forces, the unholy."

Chanced upon a very small fascist protest in Buchanan St today. Had a great few hours engaging with the very much larger counter protest. The joy, music and dancing was all on one side, and met some lovely people.

Nationwide "Hands Off!" 50501 protests against Trump continues for second weekend
Nationwide protests were held Saturday, with thousands of demonstrators rallying against the actions of President Donald Trump's administration.

"What is different, is that before what were largely fringe anti-Semitic and white supremacist theories floating around the far corners of the Alt-Right, have now become the backbone of the Republican party. 'The Great Replacement,' once a conspiracy pushed by only hardline neo-Nazis and white supremacists, is now being touted by everyone from pharma billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, Swason frozen foods heir and Twitter troll Tucker Carlson, to the billionaire backed Turning Point US…

Well, there you have it...
The same year, Vance told the National Conservatism Conference that “we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.” “We live in a world that has been made effectively by university knowledge” and to rebuild the nation along the lines of white Christian nationalism, the universities must be destroyed. Vance told the audience, “the professors are the enemy.”

On Thursday the Trump administration told Harvard University that because it had not handed over information on foreign students’ protest activities, violent activity, and coursework, the university had “lost [the] privilege” of enrolling foreign students.

masks at protests / demographics
Interestingly, at the May Day gathering I was the only one in a mask.
Thinking about the contrast with the trans protest the other week, where "good" (fitted not floppy) masks were dotted about throughout the crowd, and felt normalised.
Today's march was a less crowded event than the trans protest, so pretty low-risk for covid transmission anyway. But then when we got to the mini-fair after the march, indoors at the Friends' Meeting House, I didn't see anyone masking indoors either.
I wonder about the demographics of that difference. Seems like there's a traditional union/Labour left who share the mainstream denial of present-day covid, and a statistically more disabled & marginalised cohort where trans awareness and disability/illness awareness overlap.

A brief report from Saturday’s protest in New York.
https://salrandolph.substack.com/p/meeting-the-moment

At today’s Hands Off protest in Mountain View, CA. At least 2,500 people.

Australian Green Party crushed in election after running hard on anti-Israel platform & attacking Labor govt as "complicit in genocide." 1st-choice vote (AU has ranked-vote system) drops from 12.25% to 11.75%, despite gains from Muslim voters. In races where final choice is Green vs Labor, more conservative voters overcome their past distaste for union-dominated Labor & transfers run massively against Greens.
Result: Greens lose at least 2 and maybe all 4 of their seat…

The Greens bet on Gaza and may have lost the House
Greens leader Adam Bandt has suffered a devastating verdict. The party of protest has just discovered it protested far too much.

Tonight, an urgent protest against Israel resuming bombing the Gaza Strip was held in front of the Israeli embassy in Warsaw.
During the protest, two people spillt artificial blood at the embassy wall.
The police intervened, two people were arrested and released a few hours later.
Holy shit though. Even with my press status, seeing that intervention so close and personal was terrifying as fuck.
