Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

Can't California pass a state law requiring all law enforcement agents to display names and badges, barring masks, etc.?
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

This is what happens when the most action you’ve taken against an authoritarian regime is to say the banning of gender affirming care for minors is a distraction

And there it is. It’s not about safety or the other whitewashing bullshit. It’s about elections. Republicans are trying to break the Democratic strongholds. Notice how there are no mention of cities in Red States?
Trump declares war on cities
“We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

I promise y’all: marching in step is quite easy. Nothing difficult about it. That bad marching was intentional. I guarantee it.

This is so, so important: these smaller-in-size regional protests. It's not just big cities! It's people in small towns, too.
Chardon, Ohio, population 5242 in 2020 census, had approximately 400 people show up in the rain. #nokings

Someone asks the secret service guy standing in front of us whether it's over. "Honestly I have no idea," he replies

Rule of thumb: if there’s more people in the parade than there are people watching the parade, it’s not a successful parade.
It’s 6:04 p.m. in D.C., and we have parading. Crowd has filled in a bit at the route front, but mainly one deep along Constitution Avenue.

The right wing claims that:
1. Both Trump assassination attempts were done by the left
2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left
On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS:
1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters
2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

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.

Removing people from public service because of their identity is the grossest and least-defensible form of anti-trans bigotry.
