SF Officials Arrested at SFO During May Day Protest Over ICE and Airport Wages

San Francisco Board President Rafael Mandelman and Supervisor Connie Chan, along with other city and state officials, were arrested at San Francisco International Airport during a May Day protest against ICE’s presence at airports and for higher wages and fully funded healthcare for airport workers; protesters blocked traffic at the international terminal as unions press for a $30/hour wage increase, with other officials like state Sen. Josh Becker and former Supervisor Jane Kim participating. The action is part of nationwide May Day demonstrations and followed a protest where authorities warned of arrests if traffic wasn’t cleared; officials were later reported to have no injuries as arrests proceeded.

US May Day protest wave aims for a nationwide labor blackout

Thousands across the United States are expected to join a May Day Strong economic blackout—no school, no work, no shopping—spanning about 3,500 events as labor unions, immigrant-rights groups, and activist organizations mobilize marches, walkouts, and rallies to press for worker-centered policies and to build toward a potential general strike in the coming years.

May Day Strong mobilizes nationwide 'no work, no shopping, no school' protests

May Day Strong is a broad coalition of unions, Democratic Socialists of America chapters, pro-democracy groups and issue organizations organizing hundreds of May 1 actions nationwide to disrupt business as usual with “no work, no shopping, no school,” protesting the Trump administration policies and pushing for workers’ power while signaling a longer-term goal of a 2028 general strike via coordinated contract timing; organizers note this year is not a general strike, but builds toward mass action with planning tools from CTU, NEA and allied groups, and emphasize May Day’s history as a working-class political vehicle.

Daisy’s Secret in The Testaments Rewrites a Handmaid’s Tale Twist

Hulu’s The Testaments ends its first episode with a major reveal: Daisy, the new student and covert Mayday operative, isn’t fully loyal to Gilead and has a backstory tied to June’s resistance. In episode 3, Daisy is shown to have grown up in Toronto after her parents were killed, but June explains she was actually born in Gilead and smuggled to Canada. This marks a key book-to-TV divergence: in Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments novel, Daisy is Nichole (aka Holly) and does not appear in the TV show. Series creator Bruce Miller says they aimed to follow the book’s arc while reworking Daisy’s age and role to fit the TV timeline, with the result that Holly remains safely growing up in Toronto for now.

"China's Lip-Sync Probe Targets Taiwanese Rock Band Amid Political Tensions"

Taiwanese officials claim that China's investigation into the Taiwanese rock band Mayday for alleged lip-syncing is a tactic to coerce the band into endorsing Beijing's claim over Taiwan. This move comes after Mayday, which enjoys widespread popularity in the Chinese-speaking world, refrained from supporting the stance that Taiwan is part of China. The probe is seen as part of China's broader strategy to influence Taiwanese politics.
