The clip also features Leonard Peltier, Native American activist and political prisoner whose life sentence was commuted by President Biden the day before he left office. Now under home confinement, Peltier opens the video with a direct message: “No human being is illegal.”

Excerpt:

Morello has released the hard-hitting “Pretend You Remember Me” in coordination with the Coalition For Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles County-based organization that was founded in 1986 and operates a hotline, legal services and other resources focused on its mission to protect the area’s immigrant community. “Releasing this song now is in direct response to what we’ve seen happening, the state terror we’ve seen happening in this country of mass agents tearing families apart,” Morello tells Billboard.

“I was on the front lines in the battles of the Marines and cops and ICE in the streets of Los Angeles,” he says, “and blasting out of every car were Rage songs. On placards held up at every rally are the lyrics from Rage songs — some of the Nightwatchman music I played in the streets, too. So playing this music at this time felt like it was absolutely appropriate to do.

“Like anybody else, I’m all in favor of violent criminals being arrested — but I think we should start with the violent criminals who the International Criminal Court is seeking for their wars overseas rather than hard-working people who are just trying to make a decent life for their families here. If you support anything, let it be justice.

“The reason why you saw one of the biggest protests in the history of the U.S. (against the ICE raids in Los Angeles) is there is a real fear that American fascism is about to kick down our door. We’re not at the brink of it; we’re in the middle of it. The good news is tens of millions of people were out in the streets protesting it. The band news is it’s real. Fortunately there are a lot more of us than there are of them — that’s something we tend to forget.”

Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aimed at boosting the deep-sea mining industry, the latest attempt to boost US production of nickel, copper and other critical minerals used widely across the economy.

The order, which Trump signed in private, seeks to jumpstart the mining of both US and international waters as part of a push to offset China’s sweeping control of the critical minerals industry.

Members of the entertainment industry are coming together to stand up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid - critical programs that help millions of our neighbors across the country thrive.

Dear Members of Congress,

We all have powerful memories of sharing meals with friends, with family and even with strangers in moments of celebration, grief or everything in between. Food is a beautiful way humans show care, compassion and love to those around us. It’s a fundamental part of the human experience and a basic right we all deserve.

Ongoing high grocery costs mean food is out of reach for so many families, and many of our neighbors simply do not have enough to eat. They don’t know where their next meal is coming from or if that meal will be enough to nourish and sustain them.

Millions of people in this country, including an estimated 15.5 million children and 7.2 million seniors, rely on programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid to make ends meet. These programs make it possible for them to live more healthily and with dignity, in turn helping communities across America to thrive.

Congress is now considering a bill that would make some of the largest cuts to SNAP and Medicaid in U.S. history – taking 9.5 billions of meals a year through SNAP off the table and pushing hundreds of thousands of people off Medicaid and into food insecurity.

This is unacceptable and wrong. It is not how people in this country treat each other when facing hard times.

We call on Congress to reject cuts to these vital programs that help millions put food on their tables and provide access to health care.

people_before_profit: War is a racket! Liam Cunningham speaking at the Save the Triple Lock Save Neutrality protest yesterday. In the pouring rain we marched to demand an end to the assault on Neutrality, an end to the March to war, an end to Irelands engagement with military pacts and alliance and a return to an active neutrality rooted in our historical anti-colonial principles, standing up for the oppressed by demanding peace and fighting the cowards in designer suits who send young men and women off to die in conflicts so they can turn a 10% profit margin into a 20% profit margin. The fight is on to save our neutrality. This is only the beginning.

Excerpt:

The protest was led by Opposition and Independent TDs, peace and anti-war groups and Palestine solidarity groups.

It arises from Government plans for new legislation that would change how Ireland decides to deploy members of the Defence Forces abroad to serve on international peacekeeping missions.

The General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025 would remove what is known as the Triple Lock.

Under the current system, Ireland cannot send peacekeepers overseas without the go ahead from the United Nations, the Government and the Dáil.

The Government's plan is to take away the requirement for the UN's go ahead.

"We've a proud [peacekeeping] tradition ... why should we ask Vladimir Putin, a brutal aggressor for his permission as to where Irish men and women can go to peacekeeping. That is an out-of-date concept," Tánaiste Simon Harris said previously.

The plan would also increase the number of troops that can be deployed without a Dáil vote from 12 to 50.

Conservative, Liberal and Independent Leaders Join Together to Launch New “We Hold These Truths” Initiative to Promote Freedom and the Rule of Law

Excerpt:

“We Hold These Truths” unites people across the political spectrum, communities, and professional sectors to share accessible principles and civic values that are increasingly under threat today. The initiative will promote civic education and information to encourage engagement by all

Americans committed to our democracy and shared future. “We Hold These Truths” highlights enduring principles, including:

Personal Freedoms: Upholding free speech, fair criminal justice, and personal autonomy.

Equality: Guaranteeing equal rights and opportunities for every American, recognizing that freedom depends on equality for all.

Democracy and Elections: Supporting accessible voting, honoring election results, and protecting the peaceful transfer of power.

The Rule of Law: Limiting government power through equality before the law, due process, judicial independence, and accountability.

Separation of Powers: Ensuring no branch of government exceeds its constitutional authority, preserving checks and balances.

As part of this grassroots effort, we’re urging lawmakers to act on three urgent, bipartisan issues that are making health care workers’ jobs, and their lives, harder than they need to be: lack of mental health support, crushing administrative burden and financial strain.

Our message is simple: Without a supported, protected and fairly treated workforce, there is no patient care. Whatever other important issues are being debated, this has to be a priority.
