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.

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