50501 protest against Donald Trump on May Day across US: Bernie Sanders to lead Philadelphia rally
50501 movement will hold May Day protests against Donald Trump across US.
Several protests are scheduled to take place on May Day against President Donald Trump under the 50501 movement which stands for 50 protests, 50 states and 1 movement. 'Join us in the fight to uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach,' the movement's website states. 'National Day of Solidarity. Stop the Billionaire Takeover. We are the Many. They are the Few.'
The 50501 movement held several mass protests across the country in the last few months. The May Day protest comes as Trump completed the first 100 days in office -- with the lowest approval rating. Crackdown on illegal immigrants is one of the most glowing achievement of the Trump administration in the first 100 days, which the protesters are disapproving.
'We will not stand by as this administration kidnaps our neighbors, tramples our rights, jails judges, harms people in our marginalized communities, and turns the evil Project 2025 into a reality. When the government attacks even one person, they are attacking every American,' Gloriann Sahay, co-founder and digital director of Political Revolution PAC, told CNN.
On April 5, 'Hands off' protests were held against Trump and Elon Musk. Thousands of people took to the streets leading to the second protest from the same group on April 19. The deportation of Marylan'd Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a key issue of the second protest.

Pentagon dismisses 'pizza index' in connection with Israel's attack on Iran, says they have 'sushi, sandwiches, coffee'
Pentagon dismisses pizza index report of June 13 when Israel attacked Iran and said they don't need to order pizza from outside. A Pentagon spokesperson reacted to the Pizza delivery index of June 13 when Israel launched military attacks in Iran and said they do not need to order pizza as there are many pizza options inside Pentagon and also they have sushi, sandwiches, donuts, etc. So, in a bizarre tracking, a surge in pizza orders around the Pentagon was noticed when the attack took place. "Nearly all pizza establishments near the Pentagon have experienced a HUGE surge in activity," the X account of Pentagon Pizza Report said. The account's post included screenshots of Google data showing the popularity of pizza joints in Washington, D.C. Domino's, District Pizza Palace and We, the Pizza were all dramatically above what was typical for that time of the day. The Pentagon Pizza Report also said a gay bar close to the Pentagon had "abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night" as Israeli strikes were underway. How are pizza orders linked to major geopolitical events The Pentagon Pizza Index, also known as the Pentagon Pizza Meter, is a quirky, unofficial theory suggesting that surges in pizza or takeout food orders to government buildings like the Pentagon, White House, or CIA can signal impending major geopolitical events or crises. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The idea is that when government officials and staff work late into the night on urgent matters—such as military operations, coups, or international conflicts—they order quick, convenient food like pizza to sustain long hours in the office. The concept traces back to the Cold War, when Soviet intelligence reportedly monitored food delivery patterns to U.S. government buildings as a form of open-source intelligence (OSINT), dubbed 'Pizzint' (Pizza Intelligence). According to The Guardian, deliveries of pizzas to the Pentagon doubled immediately before the 1989 US invasion of Panama and the 1991 Kuwait liberation campaign called Operation Desert Storm. The Takeout, a food and culture site, reported in January that while there are a number of eateries in the Pentagon—where almost 30,000 people work each day, according to Arlington National Cemetery Tours—it doesn't have its own pizzeria. Pentagon dismissed the spike reported this time and said they have plenty of pizza options inside and the timeline set out by the Pentagon Pizza Report did not align with the events, Newsweek reported.

Court directs organisers of Lord Murugan conference to ensure communal harmony
Taking into account that the Madurai City Police have granted permission to the Hindu Munnani to conduct Muruga Bakthargalin Aanmeega Maanadu on June 22 and the extended pre-event with certain conditions, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court modified certain conditions and directed the organisers to ensure communal harmony was maintained. The court was hearing petitions filed by the Hindu Munnani seeking permission for an extended pre-event celebrations ahead of the conference, which included conducting poojas at the miniatures Lord Murugan's six abodes set up temporarily at Amma Thidal near the Vandiyur toll gate. The organisers also challenged the conditions imposed by the police. Impleading petitions opposing the conduct of the event and pre-event were also filed. Justice B. Pugalendhi observed that Article 25 of the Constitution guarantees every person a right to freely profess, practice, and propagate their religion. Therefore, any individual or organisation has the liberty to hold the function based on the religious faith. However, this right is not absolute. There can be restrictions, if it is intended to affect communal harmony. The court observed: 'Our country is a diverse society having people of different faiths. The exercise of religious freedom must be harmonised with a broader objective of maintaining public order, mortality, and communal harmony.' The Supreme Court has empowered law enforcement authorities to issue prohibitory orders whenever they found that persons, speeches, or actions were likely to trigger communal antagonism and hatred that affects communal harmony. In the present case, the State, as well as impleading petitioners, apprehend that in the guise of a religious event, the organisers may antagonise other communities, and there is a possibility of a communal clash, the court observed. The court said The Religious Institutions (Prevention of Misuse) Act defined a religious institution as any body for the promotion of any religion or persuasion and included any place or premises used as a place of public religious worship. Section 6 of the Act prohibits any ceremony, festival, congregation, procession, or assembly organised or held under its auspices to be used for any political activity. The petitioner organisation, which claims to promote the religious values, can also be included under this definition, it said. With regard to the condition on vehicle passes, the court said there was no reason to interfere with the condition. If any participant applies for the vehicle pass, the police shall issue it in 24 hours. In case of a rejection, the reasons have to be valid. The police will have an idea about the persons and number of vehicles, likely to participate in the conference. There is no need to furnish separate details by the organisers, the court observed. The court observed that the condition imposed to obtain the permission from the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department before installing miniatures appeared to have been imposed by the police in a mechanical manner. Similarly, another condition for permission of the Corporation authorities. The court permitted the petitioner to use two drones for covering the events and speakers, if any to be installed, must be within the ambit of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules. The requirement of police permission for conducting the event is to ensure there are no law and order issues, the court said. Crowd management The petitioner said they did not need police assistance to manage the crowd as it already had volunteers. The court, taking into account that the event is to be conducted on a highway, said it should not lead to traffic congestion. Therefore, necessary police personnel may be deployed to ensure the free flow of traffic. If any police personnel were required by the organisers, the same shall be considered by collecting standard charges as per the Government Orders, the court observed. The apprehension of the State and impleading petitioners that the event may disturb communal harmony relied on the incident that took place in Thirupparankundram. The event is being organised as a religious conference for devotees of Lord Murugan. With that being the objective, the organisers of the event must comply strictly with the observations of the Supreme Court and ensure that communal harmony is maintained, the court directed.

The Donland deal: How Pakistan got Trump's attention again
ET Online Pakistan has entered Donald Trump's mind and occupied some head space by doing what it does best - please, pamper and satisfy all needs of the moment, be it delivering terrorists or minerals. Like it or not, Pakistan is in the room, if not at the table, even as Trump and Modi will bump into each other at the ongoing G7 Summit at Kananaskis, Canada. It anticipated contours of Trump's second coming better, adjusted its posture, made the right offers and made them early. The effort is bolstered by more than 10 different lobbying firms working the system, including one headed by Trump's former bodyguard Keith Schiller.A unique quirk: Trump seems to like generals in uniform. Be sure he's thinking of army chief Asim Munir and not Shehbaz Sharif when he talks of Pakistan's 'great leaders' in his frequent remembrances of the India-Pak ceasefire he 'crafted'. A detail: contrary to reports in the hyper media, Munir was not invited to attend the parade to celebrate 250 years of the US army. India is struggling to adjust to a presidency that is less institutional, less structured and less focused. It's about getting the Kremlinology right, the sophisticated art of reading cryptic and crypto signals, and flying close to the sons (even Barron Trump). Outrage - however satisfying - will not help get over the Trump hump. Nor would cancelling defence orders in a fit of pique and losing the long game. Better to use the relationship to build capacity. It's good to remember that US-Pak relations were factored in when India decided to strengthen relations with Washington back in the day and negotiate the nuclear deal. They have remained a reality even though New Delhi thought it had put Pakistan in the diplomatic isolation ward. It kept bouncing back with American and British help and a permanent cadre of sympathetic bureaucrats, including retired ambassadors, in both capitals. Official India learnt to deal with the pain even if IT cell warriors and rabid TV anchors didn' says an analyst, the question remains the same: 'Does India want to - or will it - give Pakistan a veto on US- India ties?' The answer from New Delhi so far seems to be 'no' even as anger rises and political pain grows. Pakistan will do anything to please Trump and Sons. India will Pakistan's play. Over the past few years, with the Afghanistan war over and US interest waning, the army-ISI combine realised that Pakistan was no longer a frontline state. Joe Biden paid little attention and never dialled Islamabad. As American focus moved to the Indo-Pacific and rivalry with China, Pakistan knew it wasn't going to be part of the Quad, although it made some half-hearted elite understood they couldn't vie with India. But they were 'happy just to be heard and not be considered irrelevant'. The militablishment went back to the original drawing board - counterterrorism cooperation - to keep parts of the US government engaged. The easiest doors to open were at the State Department and was dismissive of Pakistan. But note that his administration approved $450 mn to 'sustain' Pakistan's F-16 fleet, including engine hardware upgrades and classified software support. The package was said to be for counterterrorism operations. In a replay, Trump approved $397 mn in February for the same fleet, despite announcing a wide freeze on foreign aid. He made an the background, Rawalpindi slowly took control of Pakistan's China policy from the politicians and worked to dispel the notion the country was (completely) in Beijing's camp. Americans wanted to believe the myth for their own reasons. For the Pakistan army, maintaining ties to America, enjoying the free military training and keeping tabs on Pentagon's thinking have always been priorities. To say nothing of serving as an important window for China in to the point, Pakistani generals never let US Centcom lose sight of the fact that their country was/is always available as a strategic staging area for US operations. Which brings us to the present. Munir and Centcom commander Michael Kurilla go back a long way. Both assumed their current positions in 2022 and have hosted each other more than shouldn't be a surprise that last week, the American general called Pakistan 'a phenomenal partner' in the fight against IS-Khorasan. Kurilla clearly thinks the military partnership with Pakistan can, and should, exist separately from the one with was the first person Munir called to say that the Abbey Gate bomber Mohammad Sharifullah, a.k.a. Jaffar, had been caught. He then requested that the message be passed on to the president. Result: a special mention in Trump's address to so it will go. Until it won't.
