JUST A FEW COMMENTS:
I believe that some of the “ICE agents aren’t really ICE. That’s why they wear masks.
They are Proud Boys and their ilk
Pardoned J6ers (AKA Criminals) and Proud Boy types AKA criminal thugs & Fascists/& Nazi lovers.
WALKING IN THE GOOSE STEPS OF HIS ROLE MODELS
This Saturday, June 14, Trump will preside over a huge military parade, compliments of all American taxpayers, ostensibly to commend our armed forces but actually to glorify Donald Trump on his birthday. Trump will no doubt ensure that it will be an event that will eclipse similar historical parades conducted to celebrate the birthdays of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and the late Kim II-Sung of North Korea (all available on YouTube)
The parade is unique in American history for a man who evaded the draft, denigrated those who have served in the armed forces, impugned the integrity of those who fought in battle but were captured and displayed his utter contempt for those wearing the very same uniforms that they will be wearing on Saturday.
Trump's presiding over this parade desecrates the honor and valor of those passing before him.
We’re letting a SEDITIONIST & multi-CONVICTED criminal use OUR money to give himself a parade. We need better solutions than we’ve used so far.
It’s critically important to remember, and spread the word, that these protests and gatherings are NOT all about migrants. The mango menace and his henchman want his minions to focus on that, because that’s what inflames people and that’s what he said he was running on.
But it’s a minor distraction compared to what he’s doing to the rule of law and freedom for everybody in the United States.
Even on immigration, the tide is beginning to turn as people of all stripes look at what is being done in his name, pulling parents out of line at the school pickup, raking in people at work, arresting people who are at their damn immigration hearings in court houses and threatening judges… even conservatives (real conservatives) are starting to get uneasy about this.
But the rest of the red-meat targets are starting to feel how the rest of Project 2025 are hurting them: farmers losing 40% of their sales due to cancelation of USAID, food supports to schools, and other supports directly to farmers; grandmas losing their Medicaid beds in nursing homes; prices of everything going up with all this see-sawing on tariffs; Pell grants for the kids to go to college; flood control and FEMA; NOAA cuts making accurate storm predictions go away; drilling and clear-cutting in national parks; there will be more in the coming weeks. THIS is what June 14 is about: NO KINGS. The tide IS turning, and we ignore that at our peril. The country’s peril.
Julius Caesar, Shakespeare:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
It’s supposed to rain here too, but that will not stop me from exercising my first amendment rights to peacefully protest on Saturday ✊ ☔️
Lets get out there and protest, protect and survive. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/morning-muse-its-june-12th-and-we
Liked, Restacked, Quoted, and Cross posted Scott. Thank you for the hard work.
Did you see the ad they supposedly placed on Craig's List for people to fill in the seats in front of the cameras? They're to be paid $1,000 -- in crypto (har-de-har-har-har)! May the crypto payments vanish into the internet void before anyone can cash $1 worth!
I will be at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago on Saturday just like I was there on April 5th and April 19th. I have been protesting since the 1960’s and never thought I would still be protesting in my 70’s for some of the very rights we accomplished decades ago. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON THE MAGA MURDER BILL.
Rain Expected For Trump’s Authoritarian Parade and More Great NewsTrump booed at Kennedy Center, GOP infighting escalates, and moreIf you’re looking for a great daily news brief that cuts through Trump’s propaganda and lies, this is the place for you. I’m glad you’re here—let’s jump in. In preparation for Saturday’s protests, I’ll be doing two live video chats tomorrow. My first, with former Trump fixer Michael Cohen at 2pm ET, and then with legendary organizer Jess Craven at 4pm ET. I’ll send a link to subscribers when we launch. Trump attended the musical Les Misérables at The Kennedy Center last night. I won’t even delve into the irony of tyrant Trump showing up at this specific performance. At least 10 cast members boycotted the event due to his attendance. When Trump came out to wave at the crowd, he was met with loud, well-deserved boos. In other news, only 7 of the 50 Republican members of Congress surveyed by Politico say they’ll be attending Trump’s authoritarian parade. That’s pretty pathetic. In the courts, a federal judge ruled that the Trump regime cannot deport or detain Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil. More details to come, but this is a huge win for now. GOP infighting continued this week, as GOP Sen. Rand Paul claimed he was uninvited from a White House picnic. It is retaliation for not supporting the big ugly bill. Paul called the move “incredibly petty … immaturity beyond words,” and said he’s “lost a lot of respect” for Trump. I’ll never understand how he could respect a monster like that in the first place, but this GOP disarray is wonderful. Keep it up. In another win, the CDC reinstated more than 450 employees who had been fired by the Trump regime a few months ago. It’s only around 20% of the workforce that was terminated, but it’s a good start. City police officials are getting out in front of a possible invasion by the Trump regime. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch stressed how the National Guard is not needed, saying: “We have this under control.” In Seattle, police Chief Shon Barnes—a Marine Veteran—responded to Trump’s deployment of the military in LA, calling it “not warranted.” Barnes also said: “I will … protect anyone in Seattle from anyone who comes to this city with the intention to hurt them ... What that means is at some point I will probably go to jail.” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass spoke out against the Trump regime again yesterday, saying: “When you raid Home Depots and workplaces, when you tear parents and children apart, and when you run armored caravans through our streets—you’re not trying to keep anyone safe, you’re trying to cause fear and panic.” Bass added that when Trump deployed troops, it became “a drastic and chaotic escalation … completely unnecessary … These aren’t the criminals the administration is allegedly targeting; these are mothers and fathers, restaurant workers … everyday Angelenos trying to make a living.” In the past week, there have already been protests in at least 50 US cities against Trump and ICE. Just last night, folks held a large demonstration across the street from where game 3 of the NBA Finals was being played in Indianapolis. This Saturday, rain is expected at Trump’s lame authoritarian parade, possibly even thunderstorms. On top of that, there are more than 2,100 anti-Trump protests planned across America—and at least 45 events scheduled in 15 other countries. We’re fighting Trump and his lies at a constant. Like his deceptive narratives claiming he’s protecting communities, or only targeting criminals. It’s obscene. It’s ridiculous. And it needs to be confronted head-on. That’s where we come in. For over 9 years, we’ve been helping lead the fight against Trump, and our movement has never been stronger. But right now, we need all hands on deck.
