This Saturday, June 14th, join one of the 1,800+ No Kings protests across the country. While Trump celebrates his birthday with a military parade in D.C. like a wannabe king, we'll be joining together to uphold our democracy and protect our rights! @indivisible.org #NoKingsDay

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

The No Kings mobilizations on June 14 were already planned as a peaceful stand against authoritarian overreach and the gross abuse of power Trump’s Administration has shown.
Now, this military escalation only confirms what we’ve known: This government wants to rule by force, not serve the people.

Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard against protests the *LAPD* commended for their nonviolence is a clear attempt to escalate, sow chaos, and chill dissent.
First with the ICE raids, then with this militarized response, we're seeing the tyranny of the Trump regime on full display.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

IT’S BEEN FUN…watching MAGAs twist themselves into pretzels trying to come up with reasons why a $400mil plane is a proper gift for a POTUS to accept from a country that financially supports Hamas.
Hypocrisy is inconvenient.
