At least 17 people were arrested Saturday as Israeli police violently cracked down on an antiwar protest in Tel Aviv, where hundreds had gathered condemning the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Israeli peace activist Alon-Lee Green, who helped organize the protest and was among those arrested, says the Israeli public's initial support for the war has rapidly declined in recent weeks, as the quick, decisive engagement that was promised has not come to fruition. "I think the Israeli public is waking up. A lot of people are angry. It's been three years now of constant war. People are tired. People want different realities for their families." Speaking from a courthouse where he is filing for a restraining order against right-wing extremists who have harassed him at his home, Green calls for an end to Israel's "forever war" and says that both Israeli law enforcement and right-wing groups have violated peace activists' constitutional right to protest.

Experts are calling it "the worst voter suppression bill ever seriously considered by Congress." As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on a Trump-backed voter ID bill known as the SAVE Act, millions of citizens who lack easy access to its required forms of documentation are now at risk of disenfranchisement. "Republicans are singularly focused on making it harder to vote and pursuing this MAGA fever dream," explains Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent for Mother Jones. "It is the overarching goal of the Republican Party now to make it harder to vote."
The groups most at risk of disenfranchisement include people who have changed their names after marriage, older voters who never received birth certificates, rural voters who could find it increasingly difficult to register to vote and trans people who have changed their names or gender markers on government documents. The GOP and MAGA movement's goal, says Imara Jones, the founder and CEO of TransLash Media, "is to enshrine anti-trans discrimination in the law, because what they're doing is using trans people as a road test in order to try to figure out how to disenfranchise and marginalize and strip citizenship away from millions of Americans who disagree with them."

The Trump administration is escalating threats against news organizations, with President Trump suggesting outlets should face "treason" charges for disseminating false information. Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission, has also threatened to revoke broadcasters' licenses over their coverage of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. This all comes as allies of President Trump consolidate their control over several major media outlets. Paramount Skydance, led by Trump ally David Ellison, is poised to acquire Warner Bros., which includes CNN.
"They want these companies to be afraid," says Craig Aaron, CEO of Free Press and Free Press Action. "As we've seen, whether it's lawyers, universities, media companies, when the bullying works, you just get more and more bullying."
