"All across #America, people who have never before participated in a demonstration are feeling compelled to show their solidarity — w/ #immigrants who are being targeted by #Trump, w/people who are determined to preserve #DueProcess & the rule of #law, w/ Americans who don’t want to live in a #dictatorship.
Peaceful #protests don’t get covered by the national #media...
Yet such solidarity is to be celebrated. It is the foundation of the common good"

This is a good tactic!
Image content: “This needs to go viral: We are being informed that this Saturday, June 14th, Proud Boys and other Trump brownshirts plan to infiltrate the anti-Trump “No Kings” protests, attack the police and destroy property, to falsely justify Trump sending in the National Guard.
If violence breaks out at your protest, SIT DOWN.
Leave only the provocateurs standing. Please share far and wide. DO NOT let them provoke you!”

yeah the federal building protest is 100% over
didn't see any arrests or anything at the end, just kind of waiting them out 'til they got tired, then pushed them out of the street in front of the courthouse and now people are picking up trash
i know that earlier there had been some more aggressive action but the late evening was basically some yelling and some swears
If you are not listening to this #podcast by #BenNorton, you should! All the truth behind #Trump’s and #Miller’s #propaganda .

whup, cops are pushing 'em out now
pretty low-key compared to, like... everywhere
even spokane
[eta: it's over now, see thread] The Seattle protest in front of the Federal building in Seattle is still going on, they've been pretty kettled for a while but it's a small group and I think the cops are just waiting for everybody to tire out as it cools down
there are a couple of streams, I'm not finding a really good one yet tho'
(there's a fash streamer too, not helping that)
This guy's camera is bad but he's on site:
It's going to be unbearable in tactical gear
Mother Nature is trying to melt ICE
NWS LosAngeles/Oxnard: Areas away from the coast will remain drier and much warmer than normal.
#Spokane sibling who lives a mile from downtown reports the city is now under curfew and there are nonstop sirens blaring. #ICE #Protests #AbolishIce
#Atlanta #Georgia isn't waiting for Saturday either.
Trump out now!
Meanwhile in #Arkansas, Sarah Suckabee Sanders (as they call their Nazi governor) is saying she "wouldn't allow protests similar to #LosAngeles in Arkansas" and 50501 Arkansas is like BOO YAH!
They may not be as great in number but red state resisters are tough!

Military.com: Guard Soldiers Deployed in Trump's LA Crackdown Aren't Getting Paid Yet
"...the administrative snafu is indicative of a slapdash mission where the welfare of troops has not been a priority. Several service members described inadequate living conditions at staging areas such as the military facility at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where soldiers are sleeping outside on cots due to a shortage of space. Others cited intermittent issues with food and fuel supplies...."
