They’re trying to silence us with fear and force. But “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” On 6/14, we show them what resistance looks like. Peaceful, unshakable, and everywhere!

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

In an act of resistance against Trump, the Smithsonian pushed back after the president claimed he had fired Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery. “All personnel decisions are made by and subject to the direction of the secretary, with oversight by the board,” the institution stated.

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed an expert panel of vaccine advisers that has historically guided the federal government’s vaccine recommendations.

There is a galaxy of difference between the Rebellion and the Empire’s faithful. We lead with hope, unity, and courage. We watch each other’s flanks. Even when stunned, struck, or fired upon, we hold the line. Our strength is in our resolve. Our resistance is our weapon.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

Oppression breeds rebellion.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

A mostly calm demonstration by thousands who marched through Chicago’s Loop in protest of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown briefly snarled Tuesday evening traffic as crowds surged into downtown streets and DuSable Lake Shore Drive.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

A City of Angels we have here indeed.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom calls Trump's border czar's bluff — urging him to "just get it over with" and move ahead with his arrest threat. "He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. That kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

The Marine Corps unit placed on prepare-to-deploy orders is the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, an infantry unit based in Twentynine Palms, California, according to a defense official.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Trump has manufactured a national crisis, again. First, the January 6 insurrection. Now, by seizing control of a state’s National Guard without its consent and placing Marines on standby.

This is not about immigration policies. This is about the use of state power against the people of the United States, or at least the ones he doesn’t like. https://trib.al/kQVawp0

In his case, the D stands for Dunce.

I've seen little comment abt assault-and-arrest of David Huerta, which preceded Trump's escalation yesterday, and which fits the model we saw with Delaney Hall and Jerry Nadler's office. Unlike the prior targets, Huerta doesn't have obvious immunity. He was also injured in the assault.

I’m seeing all these debates here about whether violence can be justified in some circumstances. That’s not helpful. It is beside the point. This is a battle over legitimacy and the field of that battle is public opinion. This is a flagrant abuse of power. It is a crisis entirely of the Presidents..
