Yet CNN is acting just like Foxnews claiming violence is expanding. DEMS & other media need to call out CNN's hours of airtime walking in front of cops. What I see is about 1/4 or more of the front line crowd ARE NEWS PEOPLE
Here is an instigator I witnessed. He’s Caucasian, not a person of color. He was recorded live by a Mexican American protester who was pleading to share this example of the violent instigators.
Instigators tried to come to MN during the unrest after geo. Floyd unrest. They are crazy fucks. I hope they don't travel to LA. They start a fight and walk away. LA you are in my prayers.
He's threatening anyone that shows up to protest HIS military parade (big first amendment issues with those threats) he gets almost breathless anticipating unleashing violence against citizens
ROB HIM OF THAT
NO ONE SHOW UP
NO ONE PROTEST
IGNORE HIM
The second the marines arrive, go home. Everybody. Let the media shoot footage of them guarding empty streets. Once they stand down, come back strong and organized. Dump wants this to escalate. Don't let him win.
This is bigotry. The only people who have a right to be nativists in the US are Native Americans.
We've seen this kind of immigrant bigotry again and again in the US.
Notice that we’re not looking at ICE anymore. We’re looking at Californians pointing at other Californians. They took themselves out of the picture with a sleight of hand there. Smoke and mirrors.
Wear patriotic clothes. Bring out your American flags. Wear your USA t-shirt like it’s the 4th of July! We own democracy and our country. Make it our brand. Any image of the American people draped in red, white and blue getting tear-gassed, thrown down or hit with rubber bullets would be powerful.
It’s about 1000 troops in a city area of 600 sq miles and a county area of 57k sq miles and a population of 25 million. There are more movie extras working today in LA County than troops.
Also, keep in mind that *some* of these instigators will ostensibly be 'on your side'. Unfortunately, every protest has a minute percentage of ninja cosplayers who don't really care about the issues. They simply show up in order to engage in violent & nihilistic onanism for their 15mins of fame.
Also, violent uprisings tend to trade one Tyrant for another. The U.S. Revolution worked cos they had a mad king & France to help. Then the French Revolution went from "Let them eat cake," to Napoleon leading them into battle to take over the world.
Protestors should just sit down on the spot when the cops starts acting out...make them look like the crazy MFers. Will also make the looters and sh.t disturbers stand out
So all this is cause he got butthurt over TACO/musk outing him as a pedo and his atrocious billionaires bill. I say ALL signs should be TACO references, images of musks pedo call out tweets and calling out his billionaire bill.
Right wing goons infiltrated the BLM protests, lit businesses on fire, destroyed property. Trump will get his excuse and it will be created by his people
Most oft he people have been, but there were videos from yesterday of protestors throwing rocks at cars on the highway from the overpass. Also saw one where somebody threw a rock toward the police.
Why would anybody do that? Don't give them any excuses to switch to live ammunition.
So? I saw 8 officers on horseback purposely trampling a man and an officer shoot a reporter point blank. All so they can mass arrest immigrants without due process. Be real.
Definitely could be. But big protests also tend to attract outsiders such as anarchists and accelerationists, and I wouldn't put it past either to do something to increase tensions.
ICE is dragging people away from their immigration hearings and imprisoning them in secret jails. And you're crying about rocks being thrown at armed vehicles. Grow up.
True, some individuals thrive on chaos, but I've descended pretty far down the rabbit hole. Also, it's irresistible to hoist MAGA on its own petard. . .
Quote from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's substack: "Thousands of lives are being destroyed, but it only takes one burning car to allow people to justify their lack of involvement."
Indeed. Agent provocateurs will completely take over. King TACO is probably directing them. Minneapolis police reported many cars with no license plates, full of white guys, driving downtown in 2020. Early on, peaceful protesters shared that a white guy smashed windows at an auto parts store.
watch what Fox covers about L.A. protests and u will always see the image of a burning car. Fox would have got a call from Trump with orders to make the protests look like a riot, and so they did.
He’s saying that these protesters are insurrectionists but those that attacked the Capital on January 6th were peaceful tourists. When will this propaganda end?? MAGA believes him!
I say there is a 50-60% chance that the great betrayer of America shows up to his petulant, little boy, attention seeking military parade on June 14th wearing a pseudo military cosplay uniform.
May I suggest that the organizers of the No Kings protest identify and make visible the people "in charge." I have yet to attend a protest where any particular person seemed to be the leader. If I saw potential harm, I wouldn't have the faintest idea whom to alert.
I agree. At the Women's Marches I attended in Tucson, there was always a stage & visible organizers. On April 5, protest was advertised as being in Reid Park, where there's a stage. It was only a march on the street south of the park. King's Day will be a different street near the park. Go figure.
I mean Trump wanted to tear gas protestors at the White House just so he could hold a Bible upside down for a photo op. None of this should be a surprise.
We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.

Listen to this fantastic pod w/ former DHS Chief of Staff during donald's 1st term about how trying to provoke violence in LA is just the start. (He knows bc donald wanted to do this during his 1st term.)
pretty sure that journalist from australia was being peaceful and she still got shot, soooo what's next? do we write a polite letter to the fascists to stop?
I'm so tired of the fucking gaslighting. The only people getting hurt are protestors and we are still blaming the protestors for the violence. Just fucking shut up.
It would not surprise me in the least if a LE officer or a member of the military were sacrificed by trump and his henchmen in order to escalate the situation so he can declare an emergency and therefore martial law. Afterall, they sacrificed a kid in PA.
I do not believe that was meant to happen, which is why we have not heard word one about any investigation into the event. The kid was set up and deliberately sacrificed.
This Australian reporter was completely peaceful, reporting on the nonviolent protest, when an officer took aim and intentionally shot her with a rubber bullet
Thank you to all who are out there, the power of protests matters, please be safe. The grassroots movement against the inhumanity of this regime is global. I am sad, mad, and will never consent to this madness. A neither sad day in America. ✌️
“Be peaceful, don’t don’t fight back, don’t block traffic, don’t disrupt commerce, or you’re giving him an excuse to do the thing that he’s already doing.”
Trump WILL send ppl to incite riots to get the attention he seeks. He’s known for it!! Trump is the problem, not part of a solution. End ICE insanity!!
Beware of the skinny white guys who get violent and don't get arrested. They're off duty cops that have been turning peaceful demonstrations violent in CA for decades.
Please remember that the extreme right plans on entering these protests and starting violence.
They provoke confrontations, light fires, commit vandalism.
Find them.
Film them.
Call them out.
Make a record.
It's only a matter of time until trump sends the armed forces in against citizens. That will be the test to see if the armed forces remember who they work for.
It won't be peaceful for long. Trump's Proud Boys will see to that. Trump doesn't want it peaceful -- it doesn't help him steal ultimate power. This is the LAST chance for Blue states to leave the union ... consider it an IQ test you want to fail. Dictatorship is just so much better than democracy?
I read advice from a Irish ☘️person who said to sit down: put your poster/sign down; remain calm. This will allow those causing problems/or instigating to be easily identified. Sounds good to me.
It's about time that people were seen on the streets. In the UK, we marched every day of Trump's VISIT. He's destroying US democracy yet all the world is seeing from America is apathy. Stand up and be counted.

Is non-violent
And creates a compelling image of the vast numbers of people
And an unforgettable image that will create outrage across the country if those sitting down are attacked by police
And an image that will cause outrage around the world if they are attacked by military
We've seen this kind of immigrant bigotry again and again in the US.

This is illegal and unconstitutional. Shame on every soldier and civilian following this illegal order.
Also, violent uprisings tend to trade one Tyrant for another. The U.S. Revolution worked cos they had a mad king & France to help. Then the French Revolution went from "Let them eat cake," to Napoleon leading them into battle to take over the world.
The #midterms still exist. That is the peaceful protest. Then the following election. Mobilise people to vote, not fight.
#democracy = accountability
Danke
Ah well- if you (or anyone else) happens to find one, please and thank you for sharing.
Trump is a petty man-baby.
Violence is never the answer …
But at some point, it becomes the question, and the answer might be “yes.”
Stand up - or be erased.
Remind those who work to extend the power of P01135809 that no job is worth the souls of a nation.
(And Trump will hate it.)
Why would anybody do that? Don't give them any excuses to switch to live ammunition.
That's why I'm suggesting people don't instigate. Otherwise it's not actually a *peaceful* protest, and MAGA would be proven right about that.
Taco is desperate for this distraction to pass the horrible death budget
It's going to get so much much worse if this budget passes
Don't forget the DEATH ☠️ budget
Call your senators
(202) 224-3121
🛑 STOP 🛑 this horrible budget
I got 5 bucks riding on this!
1. Protests stay peaceful and will eventually fade.
That will make trump say: "good that I intervened, otherwise it would have been violent."
2. Things escalate and trump will say: "good that I intervened, I knew they were violent."
Then have at them.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Trump doesn't care any longer about legal or reason.
Stop gaslighting.
These fascists are going to be violent and cruel no matter what.
It's time to fight back. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/us/la-protests-reporter-shot-lauren-tomasi.html
It's why he pardoned them all the first time.
MAGA will put in agents provocateurs (in some cases, false flagger) in order to achieve a goal of this totalitarian and fascist agenda
Got it.
They provoke confrontations, light fires, commit vandalism.
Find them.
Film them.

Our government has declared war on its people. And we we meet them in battle with all the ferocity of an an army. DEATH TO MARINES!!!!
