The Big List of Protests The BLOP hosts a large and detailed list of upcoming protest events submitted by users across the United States.

HHS is carrying out an illegal Reduction-in-Force (RIF), bypassing the unions, ignoring transparency, and violating procedure. This is taxpayer-funded waste and fraud that affects EVERYONE, so anyone can file a complaint with HHS Office of the Inspector General. 1/16

Jen Rubin and Mike Zamore discuss detention of Columbia activist Today in Manhattan, a federal judge will hear arguments over the legality of the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who organized and participated in pro-Palestinian protests.

If the government can arrest someone because of their speech, we're all in danger.

We're fighting to free Mahmoud Khalil and protect all of our First Amendment rights.

Dear President Zelenskyy,
I support you. I support Ukraine.
I am sickened by how you were spoken to and treated.
I do not have any other words but to say,
I am sorry.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰
