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.

On Saturday, more than 1,800 rallies will take place—peaceful, organized, and united. From major cities to small towns, we’ll rise together and say: We reject political violence. We reject fear as governance. We reject the myth that only some deserve freedom. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I was stoked to see how many dots on the map are in my home state of NC which has been red through and through as long as I’ve been alive. Dots in more rural areas that were certainly heavily pro-Trump. Glad to see people stepping up to say enough is enough.

On May 4, 1970, during a rally opposing the Vietnam War, National Guard troops opened fire on student demonstrators at Kent State University. The soldiers fired about 67 rounds over 13 seconds, killing two demonstrators and two in a nearby crowd. (Every protest is a confrontation. Never pretend.)

Look at the map - just a reminder that there are no f’n people in the red parts of the US that torture the rest of us. This must be corrected - its why people dont come out to vote. So many of us dont count.

He’s only doing this to make everyone afraid to go to “No Kings”. Worried it’s going to ruin his big birthday party. If everyone thinks what’s happening in LA is going to happen everywhere, they’ll stay home. We can’t let him win this. If we don’t show up he’ll think he’s got the power he craves.

While it is critical that we all remain nonviolent on No Kings Day, it is especially critical for all Californians to remain nonviolent. They chose some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, so they can serve as proof that turning the other cheek really works. Americans will be watching.

While my gut tells me you're correct, I'm willing to give peace a chance, and I think CA is the best state to prove it. After all, they forfeited their civil liberty and Constitutional Right to secure a free state. So let's see if they can pull it off.
