US singer and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte dies aged 96
Harry Belafonte, who stormed the pop charts and smashed racial barriers in the 1950s with his highly personal brand of folk music, and who went on to become a major force in the civil rights movement, died on Tuesday at his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
The United States witnessed a powerful wave of resistance as the ‘Good Trouble Lives On’ protests swept through over 1,600 locations nationwide. Named in honor of late civil rights icon John Lewis, the movement calls for citizens to rise against injustice, authoritarianism, and policies they deem harmful to democracy. In Manhattan, New York City, demonstrators blocked intersections outside the ICE building at Federal Plaza in a dramatic sit-in. Major cities including Atlanta, Oakland, St. Louis, and Annapolis saw thousands rallying against Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, healthcare cuts, and broader policies.
The protests come in the wake of recent unrest in Los Angeles, where National Guard troops were deployed amid clashes. Organizers say the protests aim to honor John Lewis' legacy and challenge rising threats to civil liberties. Protesters carried signs reading “No Kings,” a symbolic cry against authoritarianism and government overreach. This marks one of the largest mass protests in recent years.

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states.
He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken.
Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines."
