In the Bay Area, local prosecutors have charged student protesters who participated in pro-Palestine demonstrations with felony-level charges that critics are warning are setting a dangerous template for law enforcement responses.
@psfrench.bsky.social reports on what's going on in this new piece:
How Police Behavior Shapes Perceptions of Protests: Evidence from Black Lives Matter

The White House calls it a “meme”—when they altered an image to defame a protestor.

What really got to me in this essay, other than the horrible particulars and the inspiring details about the community response, was when she first looked into the protests, on October first, and learned it had already been going for 119 days

... Minneapolis is the subject of sharply contradictory narratives. City leaders spoke of six masked agents pummelling a local man before shooting him multiple times and leaving him dead on the street. Homeland Security officials maintain the man approached them brandishing a semi-automatic handgun, and that a border patrol agent fired in self-defence after attempts to disarm the man had failed. They say the victim was planning a "massacre" of local law enforcement agents. Clearly frustrated by the fact that his deportation message is in danger of being drowned out by a steady stream of social media posts showing federal agents employing increasingly aggressive tactics against local protesters, President Trump sought this week to steer the narrative towards the dangers posed by those who enter this country illegally. Whatever the circumstances surrounding today’s fatality, such a goal now seems increasingly ambitious.
The BBC, still playing both sides, forgets everyone saw the video first. There are no two interpretations.

Protesters against the banning of Palestine Action in Trafalgar Square, London, 4 October 2025.
Yesterday's narrative of 7 October as ‘another 9/11’ – "yet another day torn free from any history or context" with only two sides – seeks to demonise all Palestine solidarity as "pro-terrorist." It is critical to understanding Britain's current crackdown on protest rights netpol.org/2025/10/06/a...

Some of the Drax 15 defendants outside Leed Magistrates Court
VICTORY: citing "lack of evidence", prosecutors have dropped the trial against the Drax 15. They never had a case, but they kept defendants waiting for a year to somehow justify an astonishing £3 million police operation. This is yet another example of the repression of protest rights in Britain
