My mashup of #NoKings, Los Angeles edition.

More video of the "violent" protestors in #DTLA at #NoKings protest. This was at Temple and Spring. (taken by a friend who was there)

Hey Pasadena area friends…are you free tonight for a little peaceful protest outside of the Westin?? #ICEOutOfLA 👇🏼👇🏼

#NoKings I’m on this call… are you?? We should be proud of ourselves but there is more ahead!!https://mobilize.us/s/29THil

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

The South Afrikaners who arrived to the United States on an expedited immigration program have found themselves hungry and penniless in the US and many want to return. They’ve been living 4 to a motel room without access to a cell phone or transportation. 🤣😆😂

No one should have to face violence or death for standing up for what they believe in. Here is the late Melissa Hortman, eight years ago standing up to the patriarchy in support of People of Color, specifically women. We carry her legacy. May she and her husband rest in peace. 🕊️

#NoKingsDay began with news of the political assassinations in Minnesota. Arthur Ah Loo was murdered at the end of the protests in Salt Lake City. Exactly the America millions of us were protesting against. Our voices will not be silenced by their violence!

Saw this on a feed, and it's so brilliant. At marches, if you have a Bluetooth speaker, use it for entertainment and deescalation purposes. Use copyright law to stop MAGAs from posting their footage. Disney songs especially! Only use it around MAGA, or protestor footage would also be curtailed.

If you attended a #NoKings protest in #LosAngeles and were injured by police, the #ACLU wants to hear from you. www.aclusocal.org/en/let-us-kn...

apnews.com/article/trum... Indigenous leader says he was 'filled with rage' before 'intense' conversation with Trump

Days before she was taken from us, Melissa Hortman showed us what true leadership looks like. She fought to protect health care for Minnesotans, stood up for what was right, and carried the weight of her people with courage and grace. We remember her strength. We honor her sacrifice. 💔

Republican Senator Mike Lee cracks jokes and spreads conspiracy theories following deadly shootings in Minnesota. Disgusting.

"Though airspace is still partially open in Lebanon and Jordan, the situation is chaotic at airports, with many passengers stranded locally and abroad with delayed and canceled flights even as the busy summer tourism season begins." apnews.com/article/isra...

YES. There WAS violence on #NoKings day. FROM MAGA!!!!! Gosh darn it, media, where TF is your coverage of THIS?

CALLS NEEDED NOW! June 17 is the final vote on the Crypto SCAM act S.1582 “genius act”. Both CA senators voted yes on it last time! CALL them TODAY and Demand that they Vote NO! Schiff 202-224-3841 Padilla 202-224-3553 Senate Switchboard: 202-224-3121 4 other states

Los Angeles law enforcement at DTLA #NoKings march was chaotic, to say the least. Having the feds toss in NG, and the LASD showing up without coordinating with LAPD resulted in this recorded scanner conversation:

Pro-life? Seriously? www.yahoo.com/news/man-acc...

I know I ask this every day, but please keep contacting Senators & Reps to demand they #StopTheBillionaireBailoutBill #WeAreDemocracy @resistBot 5calls.org #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

FFS! Isn't enough that Trump & MAGA Republicans stripped cancer care away from veterans And will throw many veterans off their healthcare with cuts to Medicaid, Medicare & Addordable Care But now veterans could be refused care because they are Democrats or unmarried apple.news/AYDS-2V8pRKy...

Stochastic terrorism/Political violence targeting Democrats: MAGA mails IEDs to 13 victims throughout the country, including 11 current or former U.S. government officials Militia plots kidnapping of MI Gov Gretchen Whitmer MAGA stalking Mike Pence & Nancy Pelosi for execution on J6 1/3

PEACEFUL PROTESTS WORK. Don’t allow the media to tell you otherwise. It’s known if 3.5% of the population shows up, big political and social changes can be made. NONVIOLENT protests are FOUR TIMES more EFFECTIVE than violent protests!

Dwayne Wade makes a public speech about his beautiful daughter Zaya Wade, a trans model. His poignant words will make you understand how a parent loves their child. This unconditional love is so powerful and beautiful. My eyes are wet. 🥹

After holding their losses down to single digits for a few years, New Jersey Republicans think they have a winner & produced no surprises in their primary. Dem consultants hot take on their result: “@mikiesherrill needs to spend 5 months & millions of $ on courting those 28k Bramick voters.”

🇺🇸 Presidents have long derided the use of violence against a nation's own as evil. Thursday, Trump accused "illegal aliens' of turning 🇺🇸 into a '3rd world nation," adding, "I am reversing the invasion. It’s called remigration," a term tied to ethnic cleansing. 🎁 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Hey #Arizona #Tucson important!!! 👇🏼👇🏼

1/3 Trump lost again! Who is keeping score? A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's termination of hundreds of NIH grants—many supporting research on health disparities, LGBTQ+ health, and women’s health—was illegal and must be reversed. tinyurl.com/ypw66bzx

This is what dictatorship looks like and it makes me angry. contrarian.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

Juneteenth sponsors are pulling out, just like they did with Pride events. This sends a clear message that support for Black communities & LGBTQ people is conditional, transactional & expendable. This is more than backlash against (DEI) it's a stamp of approval on bigotry.

Let’s keep the fire burning! 💥 The No Kings movement made history—now let’s build on it. Join us TONIGHT at 8pm ET to debrief, celebrate, and plan what’s next in the fight for democracy. We showed up once—now we rise together. ✊ 👉 www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
