Rogers gave 'Alaska' the acoustic treatment, surrounded by a string quartet and slowing the song's tempo to folk-tinged crawl, providing a luxurious, introspective rendition.

"I'm out here as a veteran because I think we have a particular awareness and a particular stake in service. Service to our country, service to the Constitution, selfless service."

"In a time of unprecedented division, escalating conflict, and economic turmoil, President Trump focused on what truly mattered: remodeling the Lincoln bathroom in the White House," reads a bronze plaque affixed to the work.

Nathaniel Felder protested outside Congregation Beth El with a sign stating, 'Starvation Is Against Jewish Values: Our Support of Israel Cannot Be Unconditional.' This act of dissent reflects the growing divide within the congregation regarding support for Israel amidst the ongoing conflict.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't think it was going to make a change or make a difference. Our voice is being heard. That's part of our right as an American.

Polanski told the crowd: Go back to your communities, to the community centres, to your trade unions, to your friends, to your neighbours. We must organise in our communities. Local elections are coming in just a few weeks' time, he added. We will defeat hate. It's time to make hope normal again.

Many participants cited long lines and restrictions on their movements as impediments to finding jobs and accessing legal immigration pathways. The Southern Border Monitoring Collective noted that some migrants are being asked to pay nearly $2,300 for documentation in Mexico that is legally free.

The protest commemorated ACT UP New York's 39th anniversary, emphasizing the need for increased funding for HIV resources amidst cuts to health care.

I have been working 24-hour shifts for 16 years, and it has ruined my health. There is no such thing as a 24-hour workday anywhere in the world, and it must stop immediately.

Officers received a report of people unlawfully occupying the roadway and obstructing vehicular traffic near Washington and Willoughby streets, according to a NYPD spokesperson.

French police have launched a murder inquiry after a far-right activist died in hospital having been beaten up in an attack that has fuelled political tensions in France. Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old mathematics student, died from a severe brain injury at the weekend. The Lyon prosecutor, Thierry Dran, said he was assaulted by at least six masked individuals. Police were working to identify suspects, and no arrests had been made, Dran said.

The hotel is at the centre of a row with beloved night club Yamamori Izakaya over noise complaints

After five hours of printing T-shirts, Henry Reyes' arms got tired. All day, a steady stream of locals filed into Fleetwood Fine Goods, the small shop in the Inner Richmond where Reyes works. They came with T-shirts, crop tops and bandanas in their hands. One by one, Reyes laid the garments out on the store's screen printing press, squeezed paint onto a screen and, applying force with his arms, dragged a rubber squeegee across it. When he was done, the words "F-K ICE" were printed in bold capital letters.

Initially, everybody I asked in the city was certain that this was satire, perhaps the workings of Sacha Baron Cohen or a stunt by union activists; after all, the website also lauds the value created by James Dyson, Roger Federer, and the CEO of Chobani (for having "popularized Greek yogurt"). I was reminded of how several years ago, the faux-conspiracists of the Birds Aren't Real movement rallied outside Twitter's headquarters to critique dangerous social-media rabbit holes.

A few dozen supporters showed up for Saturday's decidedly unironic March for Billionaires protest, which was evenly matched by several members of the press and a group of activists one-upping the sympathizers with a satirical March for Trillionaires rally. As Mission Local reports, a small contingent of billionaire supporters, who claim they're not actually billionaires themselves, held a March for Billionaires protest at Alta Plaza Park in San Francisco's Pacific Heights Saturday morning.

Just one percent of Americans hold nearly a third of the nation's wealth. So it was fitting that after organizers announced an apparently earnest "March for Billionaires" for this Saturday at Alta Plaza Park, only a handful of pro-billionaire agitators actually showed. Mission Local contributor Benjamin Wachs coined a term for an event in which media observers outnumber participants: a panopticonference. This was close to that. Those in attendance did their best to field questions from the barrage of journalists that backed them into a tree.

No one is illegal on stolen land. CROWD: (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE). BILLIE EILISH: And. Yeah, it's just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. And I just, I feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. And our voices really do matter and the people matter.

Four individuals caused a disruption at the political event shortly after 6:30 p.m., Sgt. Erin Cranton with the Ontario Provincial Police told CBC Toronto in a statement. Two other individuals caused a second disturbance outside the building and all six were removed from the property with help from Toronto police and event security, he said. The six protesters were released unconditionally and charges were not laid, Cranton added.

A man was sentenced four years in federal prison Friday after he admitted to lighting a Molotov cocktail and throwing it at Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies during a protest last year against immigration raids. Emiliano Garduño Gálvez, 23, pleaded guilty in October to one count each of possessing an unregistered destructive device and obstructing law enforcement during a civil disorder.

More than a thousand people braved the cold at Boston Common on Saturday to demonstrate against Trump's immigration policy. There was not a better time for Boston to protest ICE than in 15-degree weather following a snowstorm. Starting at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, crowds of Bostonians braved the frigid temperatures and mounds of snow to protest President Donald Trump's immigration policies and the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

An uprising broke out at an immigrant jail in southern Texas on Saturday, with around 1,000 immigrants detained in the facility - many of them children - chanting "Libertad" and "Let us go," according to an attorney who witnessed the event. The protest took place at South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, which closed in 2024 but was reopened by the Trump administration this year to detain immigrant families.

Today, the violence of this fascist administration is rearing its ugly head, attacking our communities, and we must stand up,

As theschool's student newspaper The Sun Star reported, undergraduate student Graham Granger was arrested for criminal mischief after masticating at least 57 of the 160 images that had been carefully arranged by fine arts student Nick Dwyer. The incident was an eyebrow-raising illustration of the collective exhaustion with being surrounded by the outputs of generative AI, a fierce debate that has gripped the art world.

A female in a nude-like beige bodysuit had been hung upside down with shackles around her ankles in Brixton Road at 12pm on Wednesday. She had fake wounds to her legs and was smeared with fake blood even before being approached by a male activist holding a prop meat cleaver. He then proceeded to simulate cutting the woman's throat while pretend blood spurted from her neck.
