βA peaceful protest, and this is what weβre greeted with. Whereβs our right to protest?β
As Governor Newsom says, they want violence and a spectacle.
Imagine the reaction if Biden sent thousands of National Guardsmen and Blackhawks to Tennessee against Gov Leeβs wishes.

π¨ While working families are told thereβs no $$$ for Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, or schools, Trump is spending nearly $100 million in taxpayer funds on a military parade to celebrate himself on June 14.
Thatβs why on June 14, weβre rising up to say NO KINGS. Find or join a protest: NoKings.org

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusettsβclinging to her babyβwithout showing a warrant or ID.
When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, βWe donβt have to show you anything.β
Thatβs not law enforcement. Thatβs state-sponsored kidnapping.
