In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

Duluth No Kings!

Hosted by Duluth 50501

When:

June 14, 12:00–1:30pm

Where:

Superior Street & Lake Avenue, Duluth, MN

They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services.

The corruption has gone too far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

Trump Deployed the National Guard. But What Does That Mean?

Jay Kuo

"I want to address what has and importantly has not happened with respect to this deployment. As we look ahead, we need to keep straight what powers and authority Trump has invoked and which he is holding in his pocket. This will help us be clear-eyed about the most probable risks, and it will better inform what our next steps in response should be."

Trump deploys troops to L.A.

from the Guardian

Donald Trump’s decision to mobilize the US marines and national guard troops to Los Angeles is expected to cost taxpayers at least $134m and continue for a minimum of 60 days, the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, told lawmakers during a House hearing on Tuesday.

A total of 2,700 military personnel – 700 marines and 2,000 national guard troops – were dispatched to the city on Monday, intensifying a federal presence that both Gavin Newsom, the California governor, and Karen Bass, the Los Angeles mayor, have publicly opposed.
