Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately

Wow, France is offering more services (safety checks, etc). to make up for fewer letters. "La Poste delivers home meals to isolated or vulnerable people priced between €22 and €100 per month. 15,000 of t150,000 daily meal deliveries are made by La Poste— they're largest operator in this sector."

I just got back from the No Kings protests in Rochester, MN. It was coordinated with the local Juneteeth celebration. We marched from Mayo Memorial Park to MLK Park where the Juneteeth celebration was being held. There was no counter-protest presence to speak of, and there was a huge turn out.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

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.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

"Reporters surveyed state and local law enforcement agencies and found that at least 145 of them had resold guns on at least one occasion between 2006 and 2024. That's about 90 percent of the more than 160 agencies that responded."

Great turnout at #NoKings in Winchester, MA, despite the rain! And I gave out a lot of radical zines about anti-fascist organizing and mutual aid. 💪❤️🌈

Google, Home Depot, Nissan, Adidas and Clorox have announced their plans to abandon funding for Pride Toronto. “These are American companies and they are showing their true colours,” says Pride head Kojo Modeste. Hey, it’s their money but they won’t be getting mine and I have a *long* memory 👎🏼

I'm missing my local No Kings because my girls have their recital today, but it really is heartwarming seeing photos of the huge turnout everywhere.

nervous to go to protests? Don’t be. They will be peaceful family affairs. Go with a group, peel off if anything makes you nervous, don’t stay to the bitter end. This moment calls for all Americans to express their rights. And when some cannot, it’s important for others to stand in their place.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Due to a shelter-in-place order and ongoing safety concerns following a shooting that targeted two elected officials, the No Kings protest in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this horrifying violence.
