Watch: Despair is a feeling, not a forecast by Rebecca Solnit

✊Staying Safe: Know Your Rights for No Kings Events
DEADLINE: Jun 15 • 12:00am
On June 14th, while President Trump’s military parade takes place in the capitol, communities across the country will mobilize for the No Kings national day of action to send a powerful message: We reject authoritarianism and we will not stand by as our freedoms are eroded. Here is a Protest Pocket Guide to print out and keep with you. Keep safe, stay calm and be peaceful.

Below is a kindly reminder to not sit down if it is not safe. Getting back up again can take time, especially if you are an elder. Standing silently and other methods may be safer.

Why We Persist in Resisting

Watch: LA police filmed shooting woman point-blank with ‘less lethal’ round Woman in video appears unarmed as she walks alone before police shoot her near her residence.

Watch: Sen. Padilla Handcuffed, Forcibly Removed From DHS Press Conference

California Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles earlier today. The Senator’s office said, “He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed. He is not currently detained, and we are working to get additional information.”

Watch: Donald Trump has been ordered to stand down.

MAJOR BREAKING: Gavin Newsom announces Donald Trump has LOST and the National Guard will be back under Newsom’s command at noon tomorrow (Friday). This ruling is a result of this lawsuit: California is Suing Trump Over Federalizing National Guard. California is suing President Donald Trump Monday over his move to federalize the state’s National Guard.

What lead up to the lawsuit and ultimate WIN by Govenor Newsom:

Trump and Stephen Miller have been driving a rapacious, vicious escalation in ICE raids and detentions. ICE agents have been assigned massive quotas for detentions, and to meet them, they’re going after the people they can find — workers at job sites, immigrants who are following all the rules and reporting for check-ins at courthouses, kids at schools. Over the weekend, this led to a predictable clash in Los Angeles. Facts are important, so here’s a timeline of events:

Friday (6/6): Surprise ICE sweeps in LA leading to the detaining of more than 40 workers. Nonviolent protestors gather indifferent parts of the city.

Saturday (6/7): At a nonviolent protest, California’s SEIU leader David Huerta, a US citizen, is assaulted, tear-gassed and arrested by ICE. Trump calls up 2,000 California National Guard troops over the objection of the governor and mayor, even as the Los Angeles Police Department applauds the protests for remaining peaceful.

Sunday (6/8): Military Humvees arrive in LA. Protesters block the freeway. LAPD declares unlawful assembly and fires non-lethal rounds and tear gas on protestors and journalists. Trump (through Secretary of Defense Hegseth) escalates further by threatening to mobilize 500 Marines.

Monday (6/9): It’s reported that 700 Marines are being deployed to LA over the next 24-hours.
Trump and his cadre are escalating to cause enormous human harm against those they view as less than human. But they’re also escalating to create chaos they can then use to legitimize further escalation. So while protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, when some bad actors engaged in property destruction or violence, the Trump team used that as an excuse to escalate further. That’s their plan — rinse and repeat.

Read: Statements from Alt National Park Services regarding the current situation in Los Angeles.  

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory”. The Alt National Park Service give their point of view and they have been very accurate and transparent. Read more.

Read: Essay by Oliver Kornetrzke of Wisconsin

Trump, a failed businessman and serial conman, didn’t stumble into power because he had a vision. He stumbled into it like a raccoon into a jewelry store: overwhelmed, opportunistic, and desperate to grab everything shiny before the lights come on. Read more

Process the news with Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg

Every Thursday at 3pm, we take a step back to absorb the news of the past week, draw inspiration from the work Indivisibles and allies are doing all across the country, and talk about how we fight back. The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back Click here to register

If the Trump / Musk agenda were happening in any other country no one would hesitate to call it a coup in progress. Naomi Klein has called it a “counter revolution”, though she points out that we never completed the revolution, so we find ourselves defending a future which hasn’t yet manifested itself. We must accept that saving American democracy is up to us – there’s no cavalry coming.
