Trump and MAGA claim they own American values, but we're the ones who are really representing American values in this moment: Freedom, standing up for our neighbors, and doing what's right. We hope to see you in the streets on Saturday for #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This! These are the protests you go to if you’re just getting started or if you haven’t protested in donkey years or if you’ve got middle-graders or older coming with you. Go during the day, wear sunscreen and a hat, carry water, carry masks, and if things feel hinky, fade. It’s all good.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

"While it’s billed as a celebration of the United States Army’s 250th birthday plus Flag Day, the former isn’t true, and the latter is so trivial that federal workers don’t get the day off. Conveniently, June 14 is also Trump’s birthday."

Boston's No Kings parade tomorrow would have clashed with the Pride Parade so the city has decided to lump everything together and call it "NO KINGS, but YAAAAS Queen!" Go Boston!

1. Trans troops are now being separated from their jobs, and we have learned what discharge code they are being given: "JDK," a code that was used to remove communists and gay people, and can be seen as a "black mark" on their service. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

While we're talking about Whiskey Pete Hegseth...He had three days of hearings this week, each day worse than the day before. The full HASC Republicans got bored, so it was almost as if Dems had the majority, bc they sure as FUCK weren't bored flogging Whiskey Pete. There were so many highlights--

@jvl.bsky.social: "Having a mass of popular opposition to Trump visible this weekend is vitally important....If 100,000 people show up for Trump’s parade, but 5,000,000 people turn out across the country for No Kings rallies, who looks strong and who looks weak?" www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...

Your daily reminder that Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act, and therefore any use of military forces to engage in the ordinary business of domestic law enforcement is illegal. I do not think saying so has any magical power but think it’s worth noting so I will continue to do so.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Border Patrol is continuing raids on farm workers in Ventura County, especially Moorpark and Oxnard. Agents are circling like sharks. Farm workers in areas with heightened activity should check in on each other and take steps to stay safe. Report what you see to us.

Yep—also, as James and Miriam point out near the beginning here, if you show up tactically decked-out at an event where the vibe is sun protection and hydration, people may reasonably suspect you are a cop, fed, or at least an unpredictable person www.liveliketheworldisdying.com/protest-heal...

You remember that advice from six months ago that the correct response to authoritarianism is broadly "fuck you, make me"? This is where it plays in. Trump cannot possibly win the fight he's picking. Make him try.

Going to the Seattle protest tomorrow? Stop by the street fair on your way there or back. Beacon Hill has a huge immigrant community, so come support local artists. Vendors here are hyper local, we have to live in South Seattle to participate! It's right outside the Beacon Hill station.

A monarchy is a system stripped of balancing feedback. The king doesn't have to change behavior no matter the pain of the people or the land or the prospects of the future. A nervous system that doesn't respond to the pain of a finger on a hot stove is also a system stripped of balancing feedback.

"Convincing a jury of 12 NJ citizens, most likely the congresswoman’s own constituents, that she assaulted an ICE officer and made him fear for his safety beyond a reasonable doubt, is another matter. McIver will also have a powerful defense in the Speech or Debate Clause." — @lizdye.bsky.social

"Claims that this is a disorderly movement attempting to sow chaos are false. In April and May, protesters associated with the anti-Trump movement—including those explicitly protesting ICE and Trump’s immigration policies—were extraordinarily nonviolent in their tactics."

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

“A president whose disastrous first term ended with a violent attempted coup to block the peaceful transfer of power is now moving quickly in his second term to consolidate power, to accomplish the form of autocracy he sought on Jan. 6, 2021.” This is NOT a distraction!
