This is excellent and applies beyond June 14. I’ve been sharing it with activists on social media and locally where I organize. Thank you so much.

Before and after, keep being loud!

Call. Write. Email. Protest peacefully. Unrelentingly.

Use/share this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing.

📣 A Message to My Fellow Grandparents: The Escalation We Cannot Ignore

My dear friends and fellow guardians of memory and wisdom,

What happened to U.S. Senator Alex Padilla — a sitting senator, forcibly detained and dragged by Department of Homeland Security agents — should send a chill through the heart of every American who remembers our nation’s history and who understands how democracy begins to unravel.

This is not an isolated moment. This is part of a pattern. We’ve watched as:

ICE raids increased under orders from Trump adviser Stephen Miller, targeting minority neighborhoods and families at dawn.

Peaceful protestors were gassed and beaten, journalists detained, and federal agents in unmarked vehicles abducted citizens from the streets.

And now, a U.S. Senator, simply for participating in a peaceful protest for immigrant dignity, is violently subdued on camera — while identifying himself.

This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation.

This is not security. This is state-sponsored suppression.

And yes, it echoes the early tactics of fascist regimes:

Mussolini began by using paramilitary squads to silence critics.

Hitler used legal structures and state violence to criminalize dissent, beginning with raids, surveillance, and arrests — before the machinery of full authoritarianism took over.

In both cases, people were told it was for “order,” for “security,” for “the good of the nation.” Sound familiar?

We cannot let our children and grandchildren grow up in a country where silencing elected officials becomes a precedent, not an outrage.

💥 This is the trajectory of tyranny.

🛑 What Can We Do?

Speak truth at family dinners, in church halls, and over coffee with friends.

Call it what it is: unconstitutional, un-American, and dangerous.

Educate our families on historical patterns — because those who forget are doomed to repeat them.

Contact your representatives and demand accountability from DHS and Homeland Security Secretary Noem.

Support independent media that reports the truth, not sanitized talking points.

Show our grandchildren that standing up is not just our right — it’s our legacy.

We are the keepers of stories — of Selma, of Normandy, of the Freedom Riders.

We’ve seen this before, and we must say now, together:

Not on our watch. Not in our name.

🇺🇸 With love, fire, and peaceful courage,

Clarissa Sr., an American Grandma

For democracy. For justice. For family.

The G7 2025 Summit is being held in the Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, an hour drive from Calgary, Alberta, for three days, starting the day AFTER Trump's parade (June 15th to 17th).

https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2025/06/government-of-canada-officials-to-provide-technical-briefing-on-the-2025-g7-leaders-summit.html

https://lodgeatkananaskis.com/meetings/conferences-meetings-retreats/

Most Canadians, if not ALL of us, do NOT want Donald Trump on our soil.

It is curious why Mark Carney has tried to accomodate the Summit's schedule for Trump's physical attendance.

Had the conference started on Saturday, it would have disrupted Trump's plans, which revolve around his military parade.

Plans and threats from Trump suggest this parade is a cover to FURTHER deploy military assets against American citizens to permanently secure his unconstitutional hold on power.

Trump is ignoring court orders issued against his administration, has overridden individual state constitutions, is issuing illegal orders to his legitimate military and federally unconstitutional militias.

Our laws do not allow for convicted felons to cross over our borders and into our country, no matter who they are.

Diplomatic immunity does not apply to Donald Trump, any more than it would have applied to Aldof Hitler.

Trump is waging economic war on most of the democratic free world, assisting other tyrannical aggressors currently engaged in military conflicts, and has launched deadly opperations against his own American civilians.

Mr. Carney, you had BETTER have a good reason for this.

It is only because you have acted wisely and effectively in the weeks after being elected, that you are being given the benefit of the doubt.

BUT, remember this: TRUST is a very scarce commodity these days. And, if you lose it, you're NOT going to get it back.

Carney has also invited Vladimir Zelenskyy to the summit, even though Ukraine is not a standing member. Most of the attendees will be from the international Commonwealth, which accepts nation membership even from those not associated with Britain.

Is this going to be the final appeal to Trump for him to stand down and leave governance, by the international community?

If it is nothing short of this, Mr. Carney, then you have betrayed Canada and the oath of office you had taken.

It's not playing out well either, that you had also suggested participation in Trump's "Golden Dome" scheme. Who do you intend to protect us from with it - our allies?

Trump has already aligned himself with dictatorships that potentially could attack North America.

Charlie Angus has it right. I fully agree with him. And, I believe many other Canadians do too.

🚨BREAKING NEWS

Trumps military parade seems to have been cancelled at the last minute. I am further looking into this, and will update this post when I find out more.

For now, do not let your gaurd down, and assume it is still on. Logistics on things this big are difficult to reverse. It's like trying to steer the Titanic on a dime.

Although further investigation revealed concern over possible rain and thunderstorms in the area, Aaron Parnas reported:

"I just got off the phone with Senator Tammy Duckworth, a U.S. Senator from Illinois and a decorated Army combat veteran. She issued a stark warning about the alarming deployment of military troops [in LA and the parade]."

"Senator Duckworth expressed deep concern about the national security consequences of these deployments. While the U.S. is actively evacuating embassies in Iraq, thousands of Marines have been pulled from their global posts and stationed here at home. As of today, there are more U.S. troops in Los Angeles (4,800) than in Iraq (2,500) or Syria (1,500), according to ABC News. This shift not only undermines America’s military readiness overseas—it sends a dangerous message about the politicization of our armed forces."

Further, advanced military hardware, especially drones and autonomous systems, often require stable environmental conditions to operate effectively. Heavy rain, electrical storms, or unexpected gusts of wind could severely impact visibility, communications, and even mechanical integrity, WHEN THEY ARE DEPLOYED IN AN ACTUAL ATTACK.

Weather should not really be an issue if they are just being paraded on a float in their inactive states. Military equipment is designed, and troops are trained to travel under rainy conditions.

I am happy that so many protests have been planned. In our small town we usually get around 200.

But I also believe in the power of huge marches like MLK’s and the Women’s March in DC after trump’s first election. That caught the notice of big media.

I would love to see such a silent, no signs and no speeches. Maybe organized singing? Just millions of people standing silently for a certain period. Then disperse. Silently.

That would send a serious message. It’s also the kind of theater that big media can’t resist.
