Why does a military parade have a corporate sponsor

The MN assassin's ties to the New Apostolic Reformation begin with his being a graduate of Christ for the Nations Institute. Wired further reports that in 2023 he preached, ”God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America,” he added, “to correct His church.” www.wired.com/story/shooti...

1/ Finally back after SF No Kings protest. Upshot: At least 50k, maybe as much as 100K, in attendance. crowd was diverse in all ways, lots of young people. Music, dancing, good vibes.

Was it his birthday today? Slipped our minds, we were busy with 5 million of our friends.

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Keep protesting. Keep going, everyone.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Didn’t watch a ton of it. But the parade seemed embarrassingly low energy. Not saying I’m expecting it but cld say Hegs getting canned over it. He’s definitely yelling at someone tonight.

We have plenty of reasons to be in the streets today. But one big one is we’re marching because Rep. Melissa Hortman can’t. We’re sending love to her family, and we’re sending rage toward Washington, D.C.

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.

I am shaking and crying. This is not the Minnesota you and I grew up in and love. And this is not the country that we grew up in and love. We are in a dark, dark time.

In a move of exceptional depravity, masked ICE agents arrested a pregnant U.S. citizen just days before her due date. “He was kind of shoving me away from the door, and uh, that’s when I kind of just like leaned forward because I was kind of trying to protect the stomach.” https://trib.al/mRq3qbZ

I’m already hearing the #NoKings rallies across the country have surpassed expectations. The largest protest in American history. Incredible!

The cost of Trump’s birthday parade put into perspective at Philly’s #NoKings, created with @indivisiblephl.bsky.social.

Philly showin' up today

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

No Kings Day is here. Today is going to be one of the biggest and most widespread days of peaceful protest in American history, with millions of Americans taking to the streets in every state. This land is our land and we don’t do kings here. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #nokings

Murderers impersonating cops is the natural outflow of actual cops insisting they need not identify themselves nor show their faces. Anyone can yell “police” and you’re just supposed to cower I guess.

Californians: If you’re protesting today, protect one another and hold the line for peace. There’s no place for violence in our democracy. If you see agitators, alert law enforcement and look out for your fellow citizens. Stay safe. Stay peaceful.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

One of my favorite signs of the day.

A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

Pope Leo XIV will address a packed baseball stadium in Chicago on Saturday, greeting a U.S. audience directly for the first time and offering a glimpse of the potential impact of the first American papacy.

So who was it that cancelled the nuclear deal with Iran?

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

This is 100% the fault of ICE and the Trump admin, which has deliberately incentivized this behavior with their tactics. Their goal is to encourage white nationalist groups to dress up as ICE to attack minorities, and the increase in lookalike crimes is to them an acceptable byproduct.

Note this well. The ICE budget is not about controlling immigration. It is about controlling American citizens. It funds authoritarianism.

"You just f---ing shot the reporter!"

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

Is this for real? Why are they trying to take over California by insurrection? Homan slurring on TV, Miller, and felon too. What the shit is happening right now.. omg

Federal immigration agents in riot gear squared off with hundreds of protesters for a second consecutive day on Saturday in Los Angeles County, filling streets with tear gas and smoke. nyti.ms/4kUON0y

I truly believe part of the reason this is happening in LA right now is because they want to scare us into not protesting for no Kings day. DT is actually worried he’s gonna lose the news cycle so he wants to make sure everyone is too scared. 1/2
