Today’s rally, Saint Paul No Kings, is dedicated to our Senator Hoffman and our lost Speaker Emerita Hortman. Fascists want you afraid. They want you to stay home. But Minnesota will keep showing up until America no longer has a king.

Vance Boelter is a suspect in the Brooklyn Park shootings of two Minnesota state elected officials and their spouses and is considered to still be in the Twin Cities area looking for a way out. If you see something, say something.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Here we go. Fucking insane.

🚨 Trump calls for the arrest of Governor Gavin Newsom

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Doocy: Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. Should he do it? Trump: I would do it if I were Tom. Gavin likes the publicity

HAPPENING NOW: A MASSIVE crowd has gathered in the streets of Los Angeles, California to peacefully protest against Donald Trump’s American Gestapo (ICE) (Video: Anthony Cabassa)

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.

📍 Los Angeles people have been confronting national guard all day. "What the hell is this? You’re Americans, aren’t you? This is unconstitutional. Look at you. Look at yourselves. How do you sleep at night? How do you do this? Put down your weapons, don’t follow these fascists."

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

It’s starting. Trump: "We're going to have troops everywhere," he says when asked if he plans to send the military to Los Angeles. “We're not going to let this happen to our country... If we see danger to our country and our citizens, we're going to be very strong."

HAPPENING NOW: The National Guard drives back peaceful protesters in Los Angeles, California as wannabe fascist dictator Donald Trump attempts to escalate the tensions in the area (Video: IRT Media)

This is my leg less than two days after a Homeland Security agent shot me with a “less lethal” pepper ball bullet while covering an immigration raid protest in Los Angeles

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection. They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

Say it louder, Congresswoman!

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

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. (🎥 DW)

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

BREAKING: California National Guard members are seen staging at a federal building in downtown Los Angeles early this morning. The members are from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The brigade says it’s the largest combat unit in the California Army National Guard. STAY SAFE AND VIGILANT ❤️‍🩹

One of our core principles is to not deploy the Marines domestically to carry out law enforcement functions. They aren’t trained for that and aren’t there for that. Since the founding of the Republic. But this toady will never go against Trump on anything. bsky.app/profile/atru...

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA? MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Vance calls the LA protests an “invasion.” 4 minutes later, Miller calls it an “insurrection.” 29 minutes later, Hegseth threatens to send in Marines. It’s like clockwork. They’ve chomped at the bit for months, waiting for a pretext to declare martial law under the pretext of insurrection/invasion.
