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.

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.

Dublin county board chiefs have been made aware of their footballers and hurlers' decision to protest at Allianz's continued sponsorship of the National Leagues.

If Dr King were alive today, he'd be admonishing us across the nation to stand up and march for Renee Good. If we miss this moment, our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren will be paying the price in a dying planet, in an authoritarian, tyrannical America where women don't have biological autonomy, and Black and Brown people are in chains, and white women are getting gunned down in the streets. That is not Dr. King's America.

Potylo said federal agents in Minneapolis targeted him after the Portland arrest, calling the situation surreal. These guys are out to send a message, and yeah, if you get under their skin, they will target you. And you know what? Who gives a sh? I am representing marginalized people that don't have a fing voice in this country, man, he said. I do it for them.

Apparently, they are protesting the removal of heinous murderers and rapists and criminals from a city that I can guarantee you, when you look at the list of the illegal criminals that ICE is removing from our communities every day, not a single person in those protests, and not a single person standing here that works in the mainstream media in Washington, D.C., would want those individuals in your neighborhood, in your community, around your children and around your families.

Toby Morton, a TV writer and producer who has worked on the long-running and joyfully offensive sitcom, said he purchased the domain in August after predicting the president would change the name from the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center after he installed himself as chair and stocked the board with loyalists. The name change has brought turbulence to the institution, with several performers abruptly pulling out of scheduled concerts in protest.

In 1773, colonists threw tea in Boston harbor to protest unfair taxation, but on the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, Bostonians threw ice in opposition to the ICE "terror campaign." Hosted by the activist groups Boston Indivisible and Mass 50501, protesters gathered at the Irish Famine Memorial Plaza - just steps from the original tea party starting point at the Old South Meeting House - on Tuesday, according to the activist groups.
