"On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings."

Data released alongside

Data released alongside Friday’s jobs report showed that the number of foreign-born people either working or looking for work fell by about one million from March to May. That was the biggest two-month decline in the foreign-born labor force since the early days of the pandemic. Some economists pointed to that decline as an indication that more unauthorized workers are exiting the labor force.

Of course, we have to wonder as to the validity of data from the U.S. government.
