The arraignment of Donald Trump in Miami disrupted a major Fascist offensive to block a Pride proclaimation and ban more books in the Polk County Schools. They had hoped to dominate and dazzle the School Board. Much of Moms4Liberty and all of the Proud Boys seemed to have diverted to Miami however, and those left were outmaneuvered by LGBTQ speakers and their allies

One of the main far-right groups mobilizing against LGBTQ students was so-called “County Citizens Defending Freedom,” an odd name for a book burning/sexual “morality” enforcement advocacy group. They were mocked as “County Citizens Defending Fascism” and in any event few of their T-shirts were seen at the School Board meeting.

The very last speaker was one of the most extreme, possibly frustrated by listening to so many LGBTQ speakers warn we are not going away. He droned on about “filthy books” and both looked and sounded like he forgot his white sheet and hood. The KKK long had an outfit called the Council of Concerned Citizens (CCC) as a front group, this extremist sounded like he would fit right in.

There was also a physical confrontation, where someone no doubt disapproving of Bonnie’s alleged panty toss that supposedly hit a Polk County Sheriff’s deputy at a fake clinic threw panties back at Bonnie. Since a throw by an enemy was unexpected, video missed this by seconds.

The scene in Miami was quite the zoo, with someone reminding everyone that “Trump threw the J6’ers under the bus” and DC’s own Nadine with a “Trump indicted” banner calling for locking him up forever.

There were fights and showy scenes like someone with a fake pig’s head with a US flag in it, but the star of the show was a heroic warrior who burst forth from the crowd as Trump’s motorcade was leaving and blocked the road.By his own reports about 20 cops tackled him but his point was made. He was in 1930’s style jail stripes and even a mock ball and chain.

Miami and the world got a break though: with Trump indeed having thrown the J6’ers under the bus, not enough Proud Boys and 3%’ers showed in in Miami to do anything about the indictment much less launch another coup attempt. Although one counterprotester had to threaten to draw a gun to deter a group beating, no serious physical violence occurred.

Just enough Proud Boys and Moms4Liberty goons went to Miami to permit pro-LGBTQ speakers to control the floor at the Polk County School Board’s meeting that night, which was supposed to be a major Fascist target.

On the 12th of June, climate activists continued their ongoing offensive in DC with a blockade and mock pipeline installation at the Dept of Energy’s headquarters.

Protesters directly called out Secretary of Energy Granholm. Demands included a ban on LNG pipelines/export/etc, and end to DOE subsidies for fossil fuel production,and removal of pro-fossil fuel propaganda from DOE’s website.

Roads near Dept of Energy were also blockaded, though drivers were allowed to pass after a short “why we are here” interaction. One driver responded by threatening to ram through the banner and anyone in their way, but unlike Florida etc, this remains considered assault in DC.

On the 10th of June, some DC activists celebrated the news that former “Not My President” Donald Trump has been indicted on 37 Federal charges.

Even this may not be enough to put him in the “Big House,” but it will complicate his path back to the White House. It’s not a legal disqualification but being charged or especially convicted essentially as a spy against the US could cost him a lot of votes.

As always, Capitol Pride in Washington DC was a festive event with hundreds of thousands showing up. Although many consider DC a safe haven, the hateful, genocidal politics spreading elsewhere in the US cast a shadow over the event

As in the past two years, Fundamentalist, probably Christian nationalist street preachers set up in a prime spot at Connecticut Ave S side of Dupont Circle. Again as before, they were jeered and shouted down, totally neutralized in DC. When their followers pack a school board in rural Florida or Texas it’s not so easy to halt their attack.

Drug in question is Ashwagandha, 2,400 milligrams. Doses as low as 600 mg can produce dangerous “serotonin syndrome” yet EstroLabs (a front for the Proud Boys) is recommending a 2,400 mg per day dose. It comes from a shrub but it’s enough of a steroid to be a controlled substance!

This is an attempt at deliberate murder. In addition Ashwagandha is a Schedule III controlled substance, and they are not only distributing it without a prescription (which I would not care about w legitimate meds), they are using it for the purpose of causing unexpected fast forced detransition with a side order of death for some users.

The person behind this is Patriot Front member Keven Lowry

On the 9th of June, DC’s chapter of Extinction Rebellion blockaded the Wilson Building in DC with a lockdown. They were protesting Washington Gas’s proposed $5 billion gas distribution pipeline replacement project.

XRDC would prefer this money be spent to subsidize replacing gas with electric stoves etc and gas heat with heat pumps.

Arraignment TUES in MIAMI

On the 9th of June, former “Not My President” Trump was indicted on 37 Federal charges, including violating the Espionage Act. The most serious charge is willful retention of national defense secrets, which is a major felony but short of dissemination of national defense secrets in severity. Obstruction and conspiracy charges were also filed.

Trump will be arraigned in Miami on Tuesday. WARNING TO MIAMI RESIDENTS: Trump is asking his supporters to assemble Tuesday in Miami. With luck this will be a lame peaceful protest, but Trump has a history of inciting to riot. At least three major battles that included assaults on random passersby were started in Washington DC by Donald Trump: Nov 14 2020, Dec 12 2020, and the infamous Jan 6 2021 coup attempt.

If you live in Miami, avoid areas where Trump supporters are visible unless you are there to counterprotest them and are properly equipped to defend yourself if assaulted. Helmet, goggles, body armor, and pepper spray suggested. Let the MAGA meatheads start any violence, it can be used against them later. If they assault civilians and you are capable of drawing them off or defeating the assault, proceed with that mission.

If you are a cop and are reading this, be advised Trump supporters assaulted police in all three of the abovementioned 2020 and 2021 battles in Washington DC. Most infamously, flag poles still carrying thin blue line flags were used to beat up a lot of cops on Jan 6, 2021. A cop was stabbed in Washington DC on Nov 14 2020 by a Proud Boy as well. Unknown if they were wearing stab-resistant armor sufficient to stop the knife. Dec 12 I certainly wore it as that was one of three stabbings on Nov 14 2020. One of ours protected by armor, one of ours wounded, plus a cop stabbed.

Even if Trump is convicted he is NOT disqualified from running for President in the 2024 election, as the US Constitution does not require the President to be a registered voter. This is unlike almost all other offices, and means a felony conviction is not disqualifying. Of course, it would be rather hard to get to the Oval Office from prision. Another interesting legal question is whether someone with a Federal felony conviction who is elected President can pardon himself.

On the 8th of June, protesters opposing the Mountain Valley Pipeline and fracking showed up at the White House. Under “Apocalyptic” Code Purple air from wildfire smoke, they protested the kind of climate recklessness that generates weather favorable for more fires.

The protest took over the “between the lamp posts” tourist postcard photo area directly in front of the White House on the Penn Ave sidewalk, which is arrestable. As in a number of protests in the past year, no arrests were reported.

The all but dead Mountain Valley Pipeline has gotten another Frankenstein “jump start” from Manchin’s forced inclusion of permit approvals for it in the “dirty deal” debt ceiling bill.

Update: Susan Lorincz has been ARRESTED for the murder of Ajike Shanterell, shot through Susan’s front door while trying to retrieve an Ipad stolen from one of her 4 kids in Ocala, FL.

No way a Florida sheriff would arrest a white person for killing a Black woman without overwhelming community pressure! After a press conference in a local church, the issue went national and all eyes turned to Ocala.
