Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Activists Protest Travis Air Base; Greenpeace UK Activists Dye U.S. Embassy Pond Blood Red

HeadlineApr 11, 2025

There have been more protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza. In California, 12 people were arrested Wednesday while blocking traffic near the Travis Air Force Base. Flights carrying U.S. weapons have departed from Travis, as have deportation flights.

Meanwhile, British police arrested the head of Greenpeace UK after activists from the group dyed a pond at the U.S. Embassy in London red to protest the U.S.'s role in fueling “an indiscriminate war that's seen bombs dropped on schools and hospitals, entire neighborhoods blasted to rubble, and tens of thousands of Palestinian lives obliterated.”
