“The United Kingdom criminalized support for the direct action network, Palestine Action, at a minute after midnight, Saturday July 5, 2025. Hours later, Pink Floyd star Roger Waters shared a video clip to his Facebook page of him writing on a piece of cardboard, the words: ‘I support Palestine Action …’ Waters then declared ‘I am Spartacus,’ – invoking George Monbiot’s take on the ban from a week before. The day after, UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) reported him to British Counter-Terrorism Police for ‘expressing support for the newly proscribed Palestine Action.’ Around the same time the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) threatened to file a private prosecution if the authorities did not take action. But since that day, nothing has happened to Waters. No charge. No case against him. Over a year has gone by now, and still – no charge filed. The Filton Four are appealing their sentences.” (09/17/26)
“Doral Mayor Christi Fraga is responding to business owners who say increased [ICE gang] activity in the city is frightening customers and workers and taking a significant toll on their businesses. ICE [gang members] were seen Wednesday in different areas of Doral, a city with a large immigrant population. A local social media platform reported that agents [abducted] people at a gas station near Northwest 41st Street and 107th Avenue. Nearby business owners say the presence of [gang members] is having an immediate economic impact. … Fraga told CBS News Miami that she understands the concerns but said local governments have no authority to prevent federal [gang members] from conducting [abduction] operations within their cities.” (09/16/26)
