Tampa holds emergency protest against ICE in solidarity with LA intifada

On the 9th of June, protesters showed up in front of City Hall in Tampa FL demanding an end to ICE raids. Protesters had a Stop ICE Raids banner and at least one Mexican flag. At at least one point in the protest “Free Palestine” was chanted. Many connect growing intifada in the US to the resistance in Palestine to another arm of the same Empire. It takes a Rebellion to overthrow an Empire!

This protest was during City Hall business hours. The Tampa Police Department has signed a 287 (g) agreement with ICE. The mix of FL cops and ICE has been especially vicious due to the sewer of racist hate pouring from the mouth and pen of FL governor and failed Presidential candidate Ron Desantis. Looks like those ICE raids and checkpoints on FL highways may not be such a good idea for the cops anymore, especially near any city.

Heritage Foundation called Nazis, Fascists at furious protest over Project 2025

On the 9th of June, protesters descended on Heritage Foundation’s swanky Capitol Hill office building. Cops blocked the entrance while protesters raised a furious and noisy scene outside.

At one point, someone in traffic turned up in a Cybertruck, to chants from the crowd of “sell it! sell it!”

The Battle of Los Angeles is being fought to stop ICE raids. The ICE raids are taking place as part of the Project 2025 agenda for Trump written by Heritage Foundation. So are the Trump administrations genocidal policies against Palestine and against the LGBTQ+ community. So is the full-throated press to bring back overt Jim Crow/Stop and Frisk policing in the US.

Members of groups being shit on by Trump and Heritage are NOT putting up with it. From LA to San Francisco, from Minneapolis to NYC to DC to Florida, the Intifada is growing, the Flood is coming home.

WorldPride Rally and March gains energy from trans contingent, rain can’t stop it

On the 8th of June, WorldPride 2025 wrapped up with a protest rally and march. This gained considerable energy from the National Trans Visibilty March that fed into it

Near the start as rain fell came chants of “these colors don’t run” reminding MAGA meatheads that we in the LGBTQ+ community are prepared to fight for our right to exist.Speakers condemned the sewer of hate pouring from the mouth and pen of Donald Trump and his minions.

The march that followed the rally pushed right through the rain all the way from the Lincoln Memorial to 3ed st near the US Capitol before dispersing into the festival grounds on Penn Ave. The Festival looked nearly empty at that time. Since rain did not hamper the march, this was probably the fallout from putting the festival in a fenced area accessable only by bag search checkpoints.

As the march ended the sound of trudging boots and shoes became obvious as the rain soaked the gravel of trudging boots the way things are going in the US.

DC/Arlington via DC Media Group:Tesla Takedown Gives Nod To Pride

Arlington, VA—-On World Pride Day the Tesla Takedown boycott line spun resistance twirling rainbow parasols, wearing rainbow lei necklaces, and dancing to a resistance line-up of music over two synchronized speakers. If not for the commitment of the core team of rotating organizers and the continued zeal of the line, it’s likely the most successful corporate brand takedown in terms of diminished Tesla stock value and brand damage, would have fizzled out months ago. But it lives because the organizers and citizens persist.


The Pride theme was promised and delivered in lively color—as members of DC’s own grassroots collective Rainbow Defense Coalition joined forces with grassroots organizers of Third Act to bring the boycott back to Tesla on South Glebe Road for its 18th consecutive weekend. And the boycott line is not close to getting monotonous as evidenced in the weekly video report below.

National Trans Visibility March joins WorldPride’s rally and march

On June 8, the National Trans Visibility March displayed unusual energy as they marched to the meetup for the larger WorldPride rally and march. This was a Sunday morning and in the rain.

Trans folks are facing an existential threat from Trump and his genocidal co-conspirators at this time. That being the case, nobody was going to let the rain get in the way

ICE reportedly plans to “stay” in LA for 30 days of attacks

A report has emerged originally via Tiktok that ICE plans to “stay” in LA for 30 days. This implies much more that whatever ICE would have done there pre-Trump. Such an announcement coming now on the heels of a Federalized National Guard deployment and sighting of a Marine helicopter gunship is nothing less than an announcement of an occupation of the city.

The “enforcement” mentioned is of course 30 days of racist terror and witch-hunts to be defended by armed troops. This has the stench of reprisals by Trump and Hegseth against the city for daring to resist ICE this weekend.

ICE Update: Trump escalates Battle of Los Angeles by ordering National Guard deployment against community defenders

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.

Chaos in Dupont Circle: Two stabbings, a shooting, and a stampede

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.

Many anti-Trump/anti-Fascist messages at WorldPride in DC

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.
