Podcasts about demonstrators

Demonstrators gathered in parks and plazas across the U.S. to protest against President Donald Trump, marching through downtowns and small towns, blaring anti-authoritarian chants mixed with support for protecting democracy and immigrant rights - all whilst Trump sat behind bulletproof glass at his birthday parade. Organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations said millions had marched in hundreds of events. Governors across the U.S. had urged calm and vowed no tolerance for violence, while some mobilized the National Guard ahead of marchers gathering. The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces. These protests followed recent unrest over federal immigration raids and Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles Join this channel for exclusive access and bonus content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/join Five Minute News is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.

Immigration advocates and union representatives rallied in downtown Pittsburgh this week. Demonstrators were showing solidarity with those in Los Angeles, by protesting the deportation of immigrants. The Pennsylvania state House has voted to raise the minimum wage on a county-by-county basis. We explain how the plan would work. More than 400 young people in Pittsburgh are being dropped from a federal program that provides free job training and education. Many youth are unsure of their next moves. Coyotes, foxes and crows are already fair game for Pennsylvania hunters on Sundays. But hunters may soon be allowed to chase deer, turkey and bear on all in-season Sundays as well. State Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding stopped at the Waltz Estate and Winery and Family Farm in Manheim, Lancaster County earlier this week. He announced an investment of over $224,000 in Agriculture Promotion Grants. Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend, including dozens of locations across Pennsylvania. Rallies are set for Harrisburg, Lancaster, Carlisle, York, Gettysburg and Chambersburg. The No Kings Day of Defiance protests will happen during the military parade in Washington on Saturday for the Army’s 250th anniversary — which coincides with Trump’s birthday. And the Pennsylvania state House is pondering a bill that would ban the use of artificial intelligence in political campaign ads. Lawmakers say AI-generated images or videos could undermine the integrity of elections, if the technology is used to misrepresent candidates.

This Day in Legal History: Loving v. Virginia On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in Loving v. Virginia, striking down state laws that banned interracial marriage. The case arose when Richard Loving, a white man, and Mildred Loving, a Black and Indigenous woman, were sentenced to a year in prison for marrying each other in Washington, D.C., then returning to their home in Virginia, which criminalized interracial unions under its Racial Integrity Act of 1924. The couple's challenge to their conviction eventually reached the nation's highest court.In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court held that Virginia's anti-miscegenation law violated the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. Chief Justice Earl Warren, writing for the Court, stated that the freedom to marry is a “vital personal right,” and restricting that freedom on the basis of race was “directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment.” The Court emphasized that classifications based solely on race are “odious to a free people” and cannot stand.The decision invalidated laws in 16 states that still prohibited interracial marriage at the time, cementing Loving v. Virginia as a major victory in the civil rights movement. It not only reinforced the constitutional commitment to racial equality but also laid critical groundwork for later decisions involving personal liberty, including Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage in 2015.A U.S. federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot detain Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil based on U.S. foreign policy concerns. The decision, issued by Judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, found that using a rarely applied immigration law to justify Khalil's detention violated his free speech rights. Khalil, whose green card was revoked in March, has been in detention since then and was the first foreign student arrested amid the pro-Palestinian campus protests following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.The court found that Khalil was suffering irreparable harm due to the damage to his career and the chilling effect on his speech. While the ruling bars Khalil's deportation under the foreign policy provision, it does not require his immediate release, allowing the administration until Friday to appeal. Khalil's wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, urged his immediate return to their home in New York, where she cares for their newborn son.Neither the State Department nor the Justice Department commented. The case reflects tensions over U.S. responses to student activism amid global political conflicts, particularly as Trump-era policies are used to target protesters. The foreign policy provision invoked allows deportation of non-citizens if their presence is seen as harmful to U.S. interests, but the court found it unconstitutional in this case.US foreign policy no basis to detain Columbia protester Khalil, judge rules | ReutersCalifornia is taking the Trump administration to court over the deployment of U.S. Marines to Los Angeles amid escalating protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Approximately 700 Marines are set to join 4,000 National Guard troops to support federal agents and protect government property, sparking backlash from state officials who argue the move is illegal and inflammatory. California Governor Gavin Newsom, along with other state and local leaders, contends the deployment violates the state's rights and unnecessarily escalates tensions.The protests, which began in response to a wave of immigration raids, have spread to cities including New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., and are expected to intensify with over 1,800 demonstrations planned for the weekend. Demonstrators in Los Angeles have largely remained peaceful, though incidents of violence and aggressive police responses have been reported. A federal judge in San Francisco will hear arguments Thursday as California seeks a restraining order to halt the military's law enforcement involvement.The Marines have completed crowd control and de-escalation training but are operating under Title 10 of U.S. law, which authorizes limited military involvement in civilian matters. They are permitted to detain individuals interfering with federal duties but are not supposed to engage in regular policing. Trump defended the deployment, calling it essential to maintaining order, while critics, including national Democrats, have called it a dangerous overreach.Marines prepare for Los Angeles deployment as protests spread across USA group of current and former female athletes is appealing the NCAA's $2.8 billion antitrust settlement, arguing that the deal violates Title IX by disproportionately compensating male athletes. Approved by a federal judge on June 6, the settlement allocates 90% of back pay damages to men, largely benefiting football and basketball players. The objectors, represented by attorney John Clune, argue this breakdown reflects a $1.1 billion miscalculation and discriminates against women in violation of federal law.The appeal, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, is the first formal challenge to a settlement touted as a major victory for student-athletes. Clune said the agreement lacks meaningful support for women's sports, including basketball and Olympic disciplines, and warned that schools are already discussing cutting programs as a result of the deal's financial structure.Critics of the appeal, including settlement attorney Jeffrey Kessler, claim the Title IX objection is misplaced in an antitrust case and will delay compensation for over 100,000 athletes. Still, the challenge raises questions about gender equity in how the NCAA compensates athletes for past name, image, and likeness (NIL) restrictions.While the total settlement amount isn't being disputed, the appeal could impact future policies around compensation, roster limits, and salary caps. The NCAA says it's continuing with implementation, but the appeal introduces legal uncertainty into an already complex shift in college athletics.NCAA $2.8 Billion Deal Gets Appealed Over Title IX Issues (1)Donald Trump's legal team is attempting to fast-track an appeal of his New York felony conviction by moving the case toward the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump was convicted in Manhattan on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, marking the first time a former or current president has been found guilty of a felony. His attorneys returned to court this week to argue the state case should be shifted to federal jurisdiction.They contend that Trump's actions were connected to his official duties as president and thus should be handled in federal court, where they believe he might receive a more favorable legal environment. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is currently weighing the request, which Trump hopes will pave the way for a rapid review by the Supreme Court.The legal maneuvering is part of a broader strategy to challenge the legitimacy of the New York state trial and delay sentencing or any other consequences. Trump maintains that the case is politically motivated and that the charges are being used to interfere with his political agenda.Trump Seeks Quick Path to Supreme Court in Hush Money Appeal (1) This is a public episode.

The university attributed the decision to declining enrollment, but critics argue the process lacked transparency and undercounted students. Demonstrators carried signs and chanted slogans emphasizing the importance of diversity. The Board of Regents, which oversees such decisions, has not addressed the issue in its upcoming meeting. DEI programs face increasing opposition at state and federal levels, including legislative efforts in Georgia to defund them. STORY 2: Cobb Commuter Routes Consolidated, Free Cumberland Loop Cut Cobb County will eliminate the free Green Circulator bus loop near The Battery and consolidate three commuter routes (100, 101, 102) into the regional 484 Xpress route due to reduced ridership and the failure of a proposed transit tax. Ridership on commuter routes has dropped 81% since 2019, prompting cost-saving measures. The changes will save over $1.1 million annually, with funds redirected to other transit needs, including the 2025 All-Star Game. The county’s deal with ATL adds seven trips to the 484 route, covering most of the same stops, though the Marietta Transfer Center will no longer be included. STORY 3: Second Annual Paws Fest is May 17-18 The Avenue of West Cobb will host its second annual Paws Fest on May 17-18, featuring exciting DockDogs canine competitions like Big Air Wave, Extreme Vertical, and Speed Retrieve. Events begin at 10 a.m. each day, with finals on May 18 at 4:30 p.m. The festival also includes pet-friendly vendors, interactive booths, grooming services, and giveaways, such as doggy ice cream treats from Bark Street Petopia.

Serving 50 families monthly, the pantry provides nonperishable food, produce, meat, diapers, and hygiene products. As a Title I school, 90% of Dunleith students receive free or reduced lunches, highlighting the need. This pantry is the fourth opened through a $207,000 Kroger-MUST partnership, which has established 18 pantries across Cobb and Cherokee counties. The initiative aims to reduce food insecurity, allowing students to focus on learning while addressing Kroger’s mission of “zero hunger, zero waste.” STORY 5: Marietta School Board Applauds Staff Support in Tentative Budget Approval The Marietta Board of Education tentatively approved a $167 million fiscal 2026 budget, a 5% increase from last year, focusing on staff raises and maintaining a flat 17.97 millage rate. The budget includes an average 3.3% raise for employees, with some reaching 6.4%, and allocates over 90% of the increase to salaries and benefits. Key allocations include $3.65 million for raises, $770,000 for new staff, and $2.6 million for insurance premium hikes. Public hearings are set for June 10 and 17, with a final vote on June 17. Additional approvals include funding for math programs, HR software, and school security.

You've probably seen footage or photos of people protesting the Trump regime. Some data suggests that the volume of protestors is higher than in Trump's first term. But at the same time, you might be wondering if we're seeing enough civil resistance to preserve American democracy. Our guest this week is one of the authors of a study that found that just 3.5% of the population taking to the streets is enough to block authoritarian takeover. Erica Chenoweth is a political scientist at Harvard. They join to discuss historical and contemporary strategies for protesting, democratic backsliding, global comparisons and more.

Hundreds of people have taken part in protests in Gaza this week, in a rare act of dissent towards Hamas. Demonstrators called for an end to the group's rule of the enclave and the war with Israel. In videos shared on social media, protesters held placards that read “stop the war”, “we refuse to die” and “the blood of our children is not cheap”. Frustration towards Hamas has grown after a speech by the son of a Hamas leader who said: "We don't have a white cloth to raise a flag of surrender, but only white cloths to shroud our children." Protesters were angered by the apparent suggestion that their children are expendable. This comes after Israel shattered the ceasefire agreement on March 18, in one of the deadliest days for Palestinians. More than 400 people, including children, were killed. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher discusses the mounting pressure on Hamas and the severity of Israel's renewed attacks. She speaks to Palestinian analyst Taghreed El-Khodary, Hisham Mhanna, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza, and retired Israeli brigadier general and defence strategist Assaf Orion.

At midday on Saturday there's a protest in Whakatane to demand action over the closure of the hospital's obstetrics unit. Now - if you have a high risk pregnancy or need an emergency caesarian you'd have to go to Tauranga hospital which is over an hour away. Demonstrators say they've uncovered a raft of other issues at the hospital they say are symptomatic of an underfunded system. Whakatane District Councillor Nándor Tánczos, who is organising the protest, told Susie

Suspected assassin Luigi Mangione sat shackled before the New York Supreme Court, his maroon sweater, collared shirt, and orange shoes lending an almost surreal normalcy to the scene. At just 26 years old, Mangione faces accusations that would forever alter the lives of everyone involved. Charged with the December 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the case against Mangione has unraveled into a spectacle of political intrigue, social commentary, and legal complexities—a reflection of a fractured system and the unpredictable nature of public reaction. The courtroom was tense as Mangione leaned toward the microphone, chains clinking faintly against the table, to utter his plea: not guilty. It was a single moment, yet one weighted with significance. For prosecutors, it marked the formal beginning of a case they've described as “a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder”—a crime intended to terrorize. For Mangione's defense, it was a critical pivot in their strategy, one complicated by the unusual dual tracks of state and federal charges. A Crime That Shocked the Nation On a cold December morning, Brian Thompson was walking toward an investor conference in midtown Manhattan, a routine step in his high-powered career. Then came the sound of gunfire. Witnesses reported seeing a man fleeing the scene, leaving behind a chilling clue: bullet casings inscribed with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” The messages were unmistakable—a direct nod to the controversial practices of the health insurance industry. Police arrived within minutes, but the shooter had vanished into the city. Thompson's murder sent shockwaves through corporate America. His role as CEO of UnitedHealthcare made him a symbol of the very industry criticized for prioritizing profit over people. The crime scene, with its cryptic clues, hinted at a killer with a calculated message. Within hours, law enforcement agencies were working together to track down the suspect. Five days later, Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald's. Police found a gun matching the ballistics from the scene and a fake ID in his possession. Also seized was a notebook expressing deep hostility toward the health insurance industry, particularly its executives. Legal Maze: Dual Prosecutions Mangione now faces parallel prosecutions. In state court, the Manhattan district attorney charged him with multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism. At a press conference announcing the charges, DA Alvin Bragg emphasized the calculated nature of the crime, calling it a “killing intended to evoke terror.” The federal charges, on the other hand, include terrorism-related offenses that could lead to the death penalty if Mangione is convicted. Legal experts have noted the rarity of such simultaneous cases, with some criticizing the potential for conflicting strategies. Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mangione's defense attorney, has not minced words. During a federal hearing, she described the dual prosecutions as “very confusing” and “highly unusual.” The federal charges, she argued, could undermine Mangione's ability to mount a coherent defense in the state trial, which is expected to proceed first. “We're navigating uncharted waters,” she said. A Divided Public Reaction While prosecutors argue Mangione's actions were nothing short of domestic terrorism, public opinion has proven far more divided. Demonstrators gathered outside the courthouse during Mangione's arraignment, clutching signs that ranged from “Justice for Thompson” to “Free Mangione.” The latter group, a vocal minority, has cast Mangione as a vigilante hero, claiming his alleged actions were a dramatic—if extreme—response to perceived corruption in the healthcare industry. Social media has amplified this polarization. Hashtags like #MangioneTheMartyr and #HealthcareJustice have trended alongside condemnations of the crime. Some supporters have even gone so far as to fundraise for Mangione's legal defense. They point to the bullet casings and notebook as evidence of a broader political statement, rather than an act of senseless violence. Not all of Mangione's supporters are focused on his alleged motives. Some have fixated on his appearance, dubbing him the “handsome assassin.” This bizarre twist has only added to the media frenzy surrounding the case, with tabloid headlines oscillating between serious analysis and absurd fascination. The Evidence Piles Up The prosecution's case appears formidable. Ballistics tests have matched the gun found on Mangione to the weapon used in Thompson's murder. The notebook seized during his arrest contains detailed grievances against the health insurance industry, as well as chilling references to “making an example” of wealthy executives. Prosecutors argue these details demonstrate premeditation. DA Bragg has leaned heavily on the terrorism charges, framing the murder as an attack designed to intimidate a broader audience. “This wasn't just about Brian Thompson,” Bragg said. “This was about sending a message.” Yet Mangione's defense team has pushed back, questioning the integrity of the investigation. They have raised concerns about potential bias in the handling of evidence and have hinted at exploring Mangione's mental state as a factor in their defense. Agnifilo has also criticized the public framing of the case, arguing that the media's portrayal of her client has made a fair trial nearly impossible. A Broader Conversation Thompson's murder has reignited scrutiny of the health insurance industry, bringing books like Jay M. Feinman's “Delay, Deny, Defend” back into the public discourse. Feinman's work, which critiques the industry's alleged tactics of avoiding payouts, has been cited as eerily similar to the inscriptions found on the bullet casings. While there is no direct evidence linking Mangione to Feinman's book, the parallels have not gone unnoticed. The case has also prompted discussions about the role of terrorism charges in domestic crimes. Critics argue that labeling Mangione's actions as terrorism risks conflating political dissent with violent extremism. Others counter that the label is appropriate given the calculated nature of the crime and its intent to intimidate. What Comes Next? The state trial is expected to begin within months, with the federal case likely to follow. As the legal process unfolds, the public will be watching closely, not just for the outcome, but for what the case reveals about broader societal tensions. Mangione's fate may hinge on whether the jury views him as a cold-blooded killer or a misguided figure acting out of desperation. Either way, the trial promises to be a defining moment in the intersection of justice, politics, and public perception. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
