NoKings – A Note on Washington D.C. (no protest planned there)
https://www.nokings.org/district

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.

Political/Editorial Cartoon by Patrick Chappatte, International Herald Tribune on Trump Escalates Harvard War

This political cartoon depicts a typical home, as if you are sanding on the sidewalk next to a white picket fence. A pair of scared eyes are peeking out from behind a curtain. The sign on the house’s lawn reads, “Beware of everything.”

ICE is abducting US citizens out in the open to provoke a response. They're doing this on purpose to escalate and then play the victim when people protest.

LA is in crisis, requiring thousands of federalized National Guard and 700 Marines, said the man who also said immigrants are eating dogs and cats.

The Army unit sent to Los Angeles is the same one that responded to the WTO unrest in Seattle in 1999www.kenklippenstein.com/p/martial-fl…

I believe this is the first mention in the media of the MQ-9 Reaper drones that surveilled the protests in Los Angeles. Nice scoop by 404 Media.

“This is a chilling statement.” An LAPD helicopter claimed cops identified protesters from above and would “come to your house.”

Pete Aguilar: Why did you send the Guard w/o resources. Whiskey

@PeteHegseth

: blah blah blah disingenuous disingenuous disingenuous. Bryn McDonnell: $134M for the deployment to LA. (That may cover just the Guard.)

Dan Przygoda

@dprzygoda

It’s going to cost $134 MILLION for National Guard troops to be here in LA for the next 60 days. That’s a lot of $$$ spent for them to sleep on concrete floors & stand outside Federal buildings (which LAPD could do on its own) while the GOP wants to gut Medicaid and VA benefits
