Trump orders 2,000 CA National Guard troops Federalized and to be deployed against protesters OVER THE OBJECTION of CA Governor Gavin Newsome. Hegseth braying about sending in the Marines from Camp Pendleton.
Fighting still underway in LA 10PM CA time 2AM EDT. Reports of trash and even cars burning in the streets.
Scumbag JD Vance is calling our community defenders “insurrectionists.” Leaving out the hypocrisy of him using this as a critique after J6, to be called an insurrectionist against Nazi Germany or any regime imitating Nazi Germany is an honor.
IF YOU ARE IN THE STREETS ANYWHERE IN THE US:
The Summer Uprising forecast since January has come. Now is the time, now is the hour to defend our communities against the Nazis in power.
IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY: Remember you took an oath NOT to Donald Trump but to the US Constitution that Trump is burning with his lawless acts including these deportations to CECOT. Refuse to follow unlawful orders.YOU may decide the outcome of this conflict by who you choose to fight for.
Early evening on June 7 after WorldPride, the crowd had reclaimed Dupont Circle. It was crowded but there were still a lot of cops. Then two people were stabbed and one was shot in a possibly unrelated incident.
Cops again seized Dupont Circle, which changed hands for the 3ed time in the weekend. Shortly after I arrived on the scene, I heard a loud BOOM, more like a heavy firework than a pistol, but sound can do strange things. This may or may not have been the shooting itself. Either way, the crowd that had just been pushed out of the park stampeded, fortunately not very far. I didn’t see anyone get trampled at least.
Later that night, the cops had closed what looked like a 1 block radius around Dupont Circle. An incredible number of cops were on the scene,seemed like way too many for two stabbed and one shot. The cops simply do NOT care about the public to that extent. This in turn raises questions about their real intent.
The WorldPride parade in DC was far more political and far less corporate than any prior Pride march I have seen in DC. Probably due to Trump’s anti-DEI crusade, most corporations stayed away. This limited their ability to exploit Pride to sell their goods and capitalism itself.
On the other hand, there were a lot of anti-Trump messages, including even a call to deport Trump to CECOT in the place of the Gay Venezualan sent there by “mistake.” Near the head of the parade was “Operation Resist” in opposition to Trump’s efforts to witch-hunt LGBTQ folks out of the military. This sort of thing shows the potential for splits in the military itelf that could limit Trump’s efforts to play auto-coup games and could be decisive if the US blows apart.
On D-Day the Sixth of June 2025, the DC Dyke March took to the streets in opposition to the Fascism of Donald Trump and his minions.
The Dyke March is always political and progressive but the situation this year is dire. The very existance of our LGBTQ+ community is under physical threat in such places as Florida and probably nationwide.
Thus the “Dykes against Fascism” lead banners
On June 6, 1944 the D-Day invasion of Nazi Germany smashed down the gates of Fascism in Europe.
On June 6, 2025 US military veterans gathered at the US Capitol bluntly condemning Donald Trump as a repeat of Adolf Hitler and all that the D-Day veterans fought against. The efforts by DOGE to privatize VA healthcare and generally throw veterans under the bus were singled out for a lot of attention by speakers.
It was pointed out however that in the past protests against similar proposals were never held on such anniversaries as D-Day or Pearl Harbor Day. This time around, the renewed Fascist menace of Donald Trump spurred Veterans to deliberately invoke D-Day for the Bonus Army of 2025.
The original Bonus Army camped on the Mall after FDR refused to pay delayed bonuses owed to WWI veterans due to the Depression. FDR had the Bonus Army fired upon with live ammunition instead of considering meeting their demands that old promises be kept.
Note that as a lifelong student of WWII history and given I see the current conflict in the US as an attempt by Fascists to refight WWII, D-Day is a very, very big deal to me as well and in fact this is one of the reasons I am in DC right now.
On the 31st of May, one of 26 simultanious protests against Avelo Airlines and their ICE contract took place at the side of the road leading to Lakeland-Linder International Airport. This is Lakeland Florida’s commercial airport and Avelo flies from it.
Protesters did not enter the airport itself, deeming the environment unsafe and escape too difficult if police or security got violent. As it was, police circled but did not engage.
In addition to flying civilian air passengers, Avelo Airlines flies planes full of shackled prisoners being deported by ICE. They make big money on this contract. If people refuse to fly Avelo on account of this contract though, it could cost them even more money than the contract is worth. Avelo is already in financial difficulty, an effective boycott could ground them for good.
On the 30th of May, Orlando’s Critical Mass bike ride got a decent turnout despite the thunderstorms that went through about an hour before the start.
5 years ago tonight, residents of Minneapolis took heavy retribution for the murder of George Floyd by a cop from the 3ed Precinct. Protesters drove off the cops, stormed the building, captured riot gear and other items useful throughout the Uprising, then burned the building to the ground. Since no prisoners were liberated by the teams that stormed the building, presumably cops had moved them knowing the precinct could not be defended
Where I am a celebratory bonfire wasn’t practical because thunderstormed soaked all the firewood, but I have an alternate video for you all.
This is a mix of several Unicorn Riot videos from the night the precinct burned, set to some music that captures the mood of those first Nights of Fire.
