• Millions Join "Hands Off" Protests Against Trump and Musk – Media Barely Covers It

    While most mainstream outlets remain silent, millions of Americans have taken to the streets in the largest coordinated protests since President Trump's return to office. The "Hands Off" protests, launched on April 5, 2025, spanned all 50 states and even reached international cities, rallying against attacks on Medicare, Social Security, immigration rights, and democracy itself.

    Organized by more than 150 groups—including the ACLU, AFL-CIO, Indivisible, and Planned Parenthood—these protests have drawn between 3 and 5 million participants. Yet major networks have barely acknowledged the movement, raising serious concerns about selective media coverage.

    Protesters are not only pushing back against federal policies but also spotlighting issues like the sudden dismissal of corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, an event that triggered mass resignations inside the Department of Justice. Many fear that critical checks on power are crumbling—and the media silence is making it worse.

    The question remains: If millions protest and the media doesn’t cover it, did it happen at all?

  • Supreme Court Blocks Deportations Under Alien Enemies Act — For Now
    In a late-night emergency order, the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily halted the deportation of Venezuelan migrants detained under the controversial 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The Biden administration attempted to revive this wartime-era law to fast-track removals—without court hearings.

    The ACLU argued the move was unconstitutional. Even conservative justices like Alito called the block "unprecedented," but the high court sided with due process… at least for now.

    Why it matters: This case could set a major precedent on executive power, immigration, and civil liberties heading into 2026.
