Revolutions leave behind artifacts - not always weapons or flags, but the quieter objects that carried a message before anyone knew how far it would travel. A wheat-pasted broadside on a Los Angeles overpass. A hand-lettered cardboard sign held up in the snow outside a Tokyo office building.

On June 12, 2025, I knowingly and intentionally set fire to NYPD vehicles in a parking lot in Brooklyn, New York, and I knew that the vehicles could be damaged.

When was the last time you heard of somebody in New York state being convicted of a killing and getting three to nine years?

We come to state firmly and definitively our visceral attachment to the values of the Republic embodied by those who are heirs of immigration, said Bagayoko.

Protesters have taken over a rare bookshop in London, owned by the Duke of Devonshire, to highlight the drastic rent increase for sheep farmers.

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.

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.
