š A reminder of Iranās continuing brutality
Iranian authorities have re-arrested Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi during a funeral for a fellow human rights lawyer, signaling a renewed crackdown on dissent and activism. Her detention follows ongoing repression of activists who demand transparency about suspicious deaths and broader government abuses. āIranās repression of its own people is getting worse. Teheran executed more than 1,000 people in the first nine months of 2025, the highest number in at least 15 years.ā ā The Washington Post
šµļøāāļø Secret meetings between FBI and Ukraine negotiator spark concern
High-level closed-door meetings in Miami between Ukraineās top peace negotiator Rustem Umerov and FBI leaders including Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino have raised alarms among Western diplomats. These interactions occurred alongside talks with a U.S. envoy on a proposed peace deal to end the war with Russia, creating confusion over U.S. policy and intentions. Some observers worry the discussions could be tied to corruption inquiries or pressure on Ukraine to accept territorial concessions. The meetings highlight the Trump administrationās expanded role and mixed messaging in the Ukraine peace process. ā The Washington Post
š¤ AI regulation is properly a national issue. But Trumpās executive order to bully states is the wrong way to act.
President Trumpās new executive order on artificial intelligence seeks a unified federal policy to maintain U.S. technological dominance by limiting disparate state regulations. The order empowers a federal litigation task force to challenge restrictive state laws and threatens funding penalties, raising constitutional concerns about executive overreach. While a national framework for AI oversight is widely seen as beneficial for innovation, critics argue that only Congress has the authority to enact such sweeping preemption and is the appropriate mechanism to balance innovation goals with legal norms. ā The Washington Post

Community members expressed that visible support from elected officials encourages continued engagement and stability for families. ā KVRR
šļø Huntington Park City Council passes protections for tenants one month late on rent
The Huntington Park City Council unanimously approved new tenant protections that bar eviction for renters who are up to one month behind on rent, giving families extra time to catch up before facing displacement. Housing advocates argue this change is crucial amid economic instability and the ongoing impact of federal immigration enforcement on household income. While landlord groups warn the rule could tighten tenant screening, supporters say the measure helps prevent unnecessary homelessness. ā LAist
šØš¦ Canada to Require Social Media Sites to Report Child Sex Abuse
Canada is moving forward with legislation that would require social media platforms to report child sexual abuse material discovered on their services.

How Project 2025 shifts the USA towards a fascist regime
Project 2025 is a blatant power grab designed to give extreme MAGA Republicans unchecked control. Donald Trump and his Republican allies plan to use it to criminalize abortion and those seeking asylum, attack the poor and middle class, and dismantle essential programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, SNAP, and veteransā benefits.
Under Trumpās Project 2025, Republicans intend to impose a nationwide abortion ban and create a national registry to monitor womenās pregnancies and miscarriages. They even threaten to imprison doctors and nurses who provide essential care.
If enacted, Project 2025 would also gut the Affordable Care Act, leading to higher healthcare costs for everyone and a loss of protections for pre-existing conditions. Workers would lose their right to overtime pay, and middle-class families would face tax hikesāall while wealthy corporations receive new handouts.
Republicansā Project 2025 includes a detailed plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare as we know them. This means slashing benefits for seniors and allowing Big Pharma to charge exorbitant prices for medication.

How do we fight Fascism?
Hope
Hope is a powerful weapon against fascism, serving as both a shield and a rallying cry in the face of fear and oppression. While fascism thrives on division, despair, and apathy, hope inspires unity, action, and resilience. Hope empowers us to envision a society built on equality, justice, and freedom, motivating us to take meaningful steps to protect these values.
Respect
Respect is a formidable weapon against fascism, countering its foundation of hatred and dehumanization with dignity and inclusivity. By leading with respect, we create a society where collaboration and compassion overpower fear and division, rendering fascism powerless in the face of unity.
Unity
Unity is one of the most powerful weapons against fascism, as it dismantles the divide-and-conquer tactics that authoritarian regimes rely on to maintain power.
