If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

There is a galaxy of difference between the Rebellion and the Empire’s faithful. We lead with hope, unity, and courage. We watch each other’s flanks. Even when stunned, struck, or fired upon, we hold the line. Our strength is in our resolve. Our resistance is our weapon.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

They’re trying to silence us with fear and force. But “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” On 6/14, we show them what resistance looks like. Peaceful, unshakable, and everywhere!

We are now in a battle of optics.
The object is to make the tyrant thugs look exactly like what they are.
Thugs beating on obviously peaceful people is the most powerful image to send the world.
And the free world IS watching.

It’s provocation. LA didn’t ask for the National Guard. We don’t need it, and won’t be safer because of it.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe.
Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence.
They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate.
Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.
