Live Updates: Wave of Anti-Trump Protests Sweeps Across U.S.
Pinned Protesters filled plazas, streets and parks across the country on Saturday, mounting a mass mobilization that called for protecting American democracy from a president that many decried as authoritarian. The demonstrations set off in waves as the day progressed, in small towns and major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, the heart of a surging protest movement against President Trump. Some 2,000 events, organized under the slogan 'No Kings,' were planned across all 50 states, animated by the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, domestic military mobilization, federal spending cuts and Mr. Trump's planned military parade in Washington, which was coinciding with his 79th birthday. Many demonstrators struck patriotic themes, waving American flags, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or carrying signs referencing the nation's founding fathers. Carlie Woods, 21, protesting with her father and sister in Springfield, Mass., said she had nearly lost her voice from cheering as she carried a sign featuring an American flag and a 'Power to the People' message. 'A lot of times it can feel very doom and gloom,' she said, 'but this makes you feel like you're not alone, to be around so many people fighting for our future.' Speakers at a rally outside the State Capitol in St. Paul, Minn., paid tribute to State Representative Melissa Hortman, the Democratic lawmaker who was assassinated overnight by a person pretending to be a police officer. Organizers called off other rallies in the state as investigators said the attacker, who remained at large, may have also planned to target the protests. Hours later, the authorities in Texas temporarily cleared the grounds of the State Capitol 'out of an abundance of caution' after receiving what they described as a credible threat toward state legislators who were expected to attend the protest in Austin. The Capitol building itself remained closed. Organizers of the No Kings demonstrations called on participants to focus on 'nonviolent action.' In Houston, some demonstrators handed out flowers to police officers who were securing the route of the protest. In Chicago, the police superintendent helped a woman who tripped on the street near him. Many of the events drew large crowds, but confrontations with the police were rare. In Charlotte, N.C., police sprayed a chemical irritant at protesters attempting to move past a line of officers after the official end of the No Kings protest. And during a separate protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a northern Atlanta neighborhood with a large Hispanic population, police deployed tear gas into a crowd that was headed toward a highway. Here's what else to know: Military parade: No Kings organizers avoided calling for demonstrations in Washington, where the military parade was set to go on despite a forecast of thunderstorms. Mr. Trump previously warned that anyone seeking to protest at the parade would be met with 'very big force.' The speakers: In Newark, U.S. Representative LaMonica Mclver stood in front of a statue of Abraham Lincoln outside the Essex County courthouse and struck a tone of defiance. Ms. Mclver, who faces federal charges related to a confrontation at a migrant detention center last month, said she would not be silenced or intimidated. 'We have to be on the front lines to fight for democracy,' she said. In Philadelphia, Martin Luther King III told the crowd, 'We will not let democracy die on our watch.' Los Angeles crackdown : In the months before the immigration raids in Los Angeles, the Trump administration and immigrant rights groups had been preparing for conflict. Then the message arrived: 'ICE is here,' one father wrote. 'They're going to take us.'

Live Updates: Protesters Fill Streets Across the U.S. to Oppose Trump Policies
Pinned Protesters filled plazas, streets and parks across the country on Saturday, mounting a mass mobilization that called for protecting American democracy from a president that many demonstrators decried as authoritarian. The protests set off in waves as the day progressed, in small towns and major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston and Atlanta, beginning hours before President Trump was set to host a military parade in Washington. The No Kings events in all 50 states were animated by the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, domestic military mobilization, federal spending cuts and the parade, which was coinciding with the president's 79th birthday.

The protests come amid building outrage over raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Los Angeles that led to mass demonstrations and conflicts with law enforcement. The city has emerged as the epicenter of anxiety over immigration enforcement and has seen days of sustained protests; the authorities there said they were bracing for crowd sizes on Saturday that could be 'unprecedented.' Some 2,000 events were planned from coast to coast. In Atlanta, thousands of people packed into Liberty Plaza, carrying signs that included the message 'Stop Trump's Terrorism' and singing a rendition of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' adjusted with the words 'Take Trump out of the White House.' In Greenville, Ohio, where Democrats are rare, protesters gathered even as police warned that anyone blocking the road would go to jail.

Hundreds gather at No Kings Day rallies across the Wilmington-area
Hundreds of Wilmington-area residents gathered across the region Saturday, June 14 as part of a "No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance." In the Cape Fear region, protest locations included downtown Wilmington, Leland, Shallotte and Surf City. More than 1,000 communities across the country were planning protests to reject what event organizers called "corrupt, authoritarian politics in the United States." The protests were held on the same day that many Americans, including President Donald Trump, are celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. June 14 is also Flag Day and Trump's 79th birthday. Live updates: 'No Kings' protests underway from Florida to California At the rally in downtown Wilmington, the crowd started to gather well before the advertised start time of noon. By 11:30 a.m., hundreds were already in attendance with many carrying signs with slogans such as "Resistance is patriotic," Stop illegal deportations," "Power to the people," and "Trump Lies." As the crowd continued to grow, a man with a "Trump Won" flag repeatedly drove along Princess Drive and Third Street. The man and protestors yelled back and forth. Eventually, the Wilmington Police Department closed Princess Street to traffic. But officers reminded attendees to stay on the sidewalks and out of the street. What appeared to be another Trump supported waved a flag and shouted while walking through the crowd. The protestors chanted: "Donald Trump has got to go." Meanwhile, speakers, including State Rep. Deb Butler, a Democrat from Wilmington, addressed the audience. "Thank you for being here and not just for democracy but for recognizing your role in protecting it," Butler said. "We cannot be complacent. ... "Democracy cannot protect itself." Butler also noted that police officers were at the scene by request and she encouraged attendees to give them thanks and respect. Although the Wilmington rally was expected to end with a march, organizers ended it early -- around 12:45 p.m. -- because of rain and lightning in the area.

Mother Recordings celebrates a decade of electronic music authority… along with a perfect remix
Find out which track has the best drop SOUNDS GUT Mother Recordings celebrates a decade of electronic music authority… along with a perfect remix Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BERLIN dance label, Mother Recordings celebrates a decade of electronic music authority with a remix that echoes through the ages. When Leon and Shaf Huse dropped Power To The People on the imprint in 2018, it wasn't just a track, it was a global call to dance. The hypnotic beats and classic sample of Wildchild's cult hit Renegade Master from the 90s helped create a terrace anthem that roared out of DC10 Ibiza and into the sets of legends like Carl Cox, The Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Leon and Shaf Huse have dropped hit after hit Credit: Supplied Now, Tube & Berger, fellow Berlin groove architects Arndt Roerig and Marko Vidovic -heads of Kittball Records, have injected it with a fresh dose of cinematic tension. Their remix doesn't walk onto the dancefloor, it haunts it. With horror-funk synths towering like cathedral organs and voodoo-driven percussion, this is a tribute to the darker, more primal pulse of the underground. We caught up with Tube & Berger this week and asked them to curate a playlist to mark the release of their remix. Their selection includes the new remix and captures that same energy and is a celebration of the renegades, the ravers, and the revolutionary power of a perfectly placed drop. Back once again, with the Renegade Master indeed! 2 We caught up with Tube & Berger this week Credit: Supplied Leon & Shaf Huse – Power To The People (Tube & Berger Remix) To celebrate 10 years of Mother Recordings, we remixed this banger – raw groove with a message, and it felt right to bring it back with our twist. Tube & Berger – Time To Push The Propaganda The world's on the edge? But we're dropping heat through the chaos. Taly Shum – In My Head Taly shines with her sweet Ukrainian girl power – we're super happy to have her on board at ZEHN. Dirsehan, Ursula La Notte – Save Me As soon as we heard it, we wanted it on ZEHN Records. Dark, emotional, and totally hypnotic and addictive. Tube & Berger, Juliet Sikora – Come On Now (Set It Off) (Tony Romera Remix) Tony gave our classic a fresh punch – heavy, modern, and still slaps. Katsi, – Jah Love Our long-time buddy teamed up with our Kittball label mom for this warm, summer tune – good vibes all over. Bless You – Gotta Move Caught our ear right away – great groove and full of tension. Since then, it's been in our set. Works every time. DEFLEE – Yo! We've been into DEFLEE for a while and this one's just another fire tune from him. Clean and heavy. Doctors On Decks – The Fog (Chris Luno Extended Remix) Our Austrian friends teamed up with Chris Luno, and he took it deep and dreamy. A proper late-night roller. AG Swifty – SHHH! This one's all about the groove – stripped back, bouncy, and perfect to get the floor moving.
