Kamala, Hillary champion Texas Democrats who camped out at statehouse, engaged in 'bad Kabuki theater'



Texas House Democrats fled the Lone Star State earlier this month to deny their colleagues the necessary number of bodies for a quorum, thereby temporarily preventing Republicans from passing new congressional lines and gaining five more congressional pickup opportunities ahead of the midterm elections.

Following the Democratic lawmakers' departure, Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R) signed arrest warrants for the absentee legislators and Gov. Greg Abbott (R) ordered their arrests by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

State Democrats — having likely recognized the futility of their flight — finally slunk back to Texas this week.

'You are among those who history will reveal to have been heroes of this moment.'

To leave the Texas Capitol building on Monday, Democrats apparently had to obtain written permission from Burrows and agree to be escorted by a DPS trooper. Rather than agree to the safeguard, some Democrats decided instead to engage in what Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R) referred to as "crocodile tears and bad, bad Kabuki theater" — throwing fits, tearing up their permission slips in front of reporters, and camping out in the statehouse.

State Rep. Nicole Collier really made a show of her sleepover — telling CBS News she refuses "to comply with this unreasonable, un-American, and unnecessary request" and sharing a photo online of her snug in a chair in the state House with a pillow, a sleep mask, and a blanket.

These theatrics attracted the attention of twice-failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who called to paint Collier's sleepover as heroic.

"You really are inspiring so many people, and I just want you to know that you are among those who history will reveal to have been heroes of this moment," said Harris. "So you just stay strong and do what you are doing. You have the right instinct. You are talented, and you are principled."

Harris noted further in a tweet, "Nicole, we are all in that chamber with you."

Taking the lead from Collier, Democratic Texas Rep. Mihaela Plesa and a handful of other Democrats returned to the chamber to virtue-signal and tear up their permission slips.

On Wednesday, another failed Democratic presidential candidate piped up in support of the sleepover Democrats.

Hillary Clinton stated, "I stand with state Rep. Nicole Collier and other Texas Democrats on the front lines of protecting American democracy. In a free country, state lawmakers don't get held hostage by the opposition."

Clinton's suggestion that the Democrats were protecting democracy misses the point of the confinement and police escort — namely that the Texas Democrats have been trying to thwart the democratic process and the people's will.

Liberals take to the sea, target Chief Justice Roberts' island home



Chief Justice John Roberts noted in his 2024 year-end report that the independence and legitimacy of federal courts were under attack. While recognizing passionate reactions to judicial rulings as inevitable and strong criticism as occasionally warranted, Roberts underscored that "not all actors engage in 'informed criticism' or anything remotely resembling it."

The chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court noted that types of "illegitimate activity" exist which "threaten the independence of judges on which the rule of law depends: (1) violence, (2) intimidation, (3) disinformation, and (4) threats to defy lawfully entered judgments."

'The media's coverage of events like these are hypocritical to say the least.'

Roberts stressed that "attempts to intimidate need not physically harm judges to threaten judicial independence" and can take the form of visits to judges' homes.

Over the weekend, a flotilla comprising leftist demonstrators paddled to Roberts' summer home on Hupper Island, just off Port Clyde, Maine, to protest the high court's recent rulings.

While the maritime demonstration was relatively unremarkable — mainland geriatrics reportedly griping about the Supreme Court's rulings in Dobbs, President Donald Trump's immunity case, and cases of interest to non-straight activists — it signaled leftists' continued willingness to apply political pressure to justices where they live.

The protest was reportedly organized by Susan MacNeil-Densmore of the Audacity, a leftist group that claims to oppose "fascism, bigotry, and violence in the second age of Trump."

MacNeil-Densmore told the Midcoast Villager ahead of the maritime demonstration that a federal and local police presence was expected on the island and that protesters were instructed to keep their messaging nonviolent.

However, the statement provided by the kayak crew to the paper engaged in the kind of rhetoric that helped set the stage for the attempts on President Donald Trump's life last year.

'What next, serve him an improperly seasoned lobster roll to underscore your incoherent point?'

"United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts presides over the most right-wing Supreme Court in almost 100 years," the statement reads. "Roberts has delivered the majority vote for President Trump's every dictate, even granting him immunity from prosecution for any crimes he commits while he is the president. The Roberts Court is historically unpopular with the public and violated the United States Constitution; Roberts has been the deciding member of the six justices supporting a far-right political agenda. Now is the time to demand resistance to tyranny from people in positions of power, as we move closer to a dictatorship."

Marie Follayttar Smith, a leftist with the Mainers for Accountable Leadership PAC, characterized the protest as a success and suggested that in addition to protesting outside Roberts' home, fellow leftists could purchase property on the island to establish "a resistance head quarters [sic] by the Chief Justice."

Others mocked the elitism and uselessness of the exercise.

Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice, tweeted, "Lol talk about privilege — kayak-based resort protest. What next, serve him an improperly seasoned lobster roll to underscore your incoherent point?"

John Malcolm, vice president of the Heritage Foundation's Institute for Constitutional Government and director of the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told Blaze News that the protests "are terrible, likely counterproductive, potentially illegal, and highly dangerous, and the media's coverage of events like these are hypocritical to say the least."

"I say they are terrible because they undermine a sense of civility and respect for the judiciary and the rule of law," Malcolm said. "I say they are likely counterproductive because I seriously doubt it will impact how the justices rule in any case or how they conduct their business. I say it is potentially illegal because, for example, 18 U.S.C. § 1503(a) makes it a crime for anyone who, by means of 'any threatening ... communication, endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any ... officer in or of any court of the United States ... in the discharge of his duty.'"

Title 18, Section 1507, of the U.S. Code could also come into play with regard to protests outside justices' homes, as it states that it is illegal to picket or parade in or near a building housing a U.S. court or occupied by a judge, juror, witness, or court officer "with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty."

Malcolm added that "it is highly dangerous because there are unbalanced people out there who will resort to violence if their more-tame forms of protest are ignored, and, shockingly, there are those who will applaud when that happens."

Malcom referenced the case of Nicholas John Roske, the California man who pleaded guilty on April 8 to traveling from Los Angeles to Montgomery County, Maryland, with the aim of killing Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

When police took Roske into custody and searched his belongings outside Kavanaugh's home on June 8, 2022, they reportedly found a firearm; a tactical knife; two magazines, each containing 10 rounds of ammunition; 17 additional rounds of ammunition; pepper spray; zip ties; and a hammer, a crowbar, and other tools evidently intended for use in the thwarted murder plot.

Whereas the media has largely downplayed, excused, or ignored protests outside the homes of Republican appointees to the high court, Malcolm indicated he had "no doubt if such protests occurred outside the homes of Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, or Jackson, stories covering that would blanket the airwaves, and there would be howls of outrage and self-righteous indignation on the left about the threats to judicial independence that such protests pose."

Roberts, who had protests outside his primary residence last year, emphasized in his annual report, "Attempts to intimidate judges for their rulings in cases are inappropriate and should be vigorously opposed."

What do you call 12 Antifa radicals in body armor?



Since the 1990s, federal agencies and the media have fed Americans a steady diet of panic about shadowy “right-wing militias” — usually ex-military guys obsessed with guns and ready to wage war against the government at a moment’s notice.

The panic went into overdrive after January 6, 2021. But now, in a staggering act of projection, the threat they’ve spent decades warning about has arrived — only it’s coming from the radical left. And still, the feds insist on looking the wrong way.

Antifa cells are evolving. They’re abandoning mass protest tactics for small-cell terror and direct action.

Despite years of breathless rhetoric, the supposed wave of “right-wing terrorism” never materialized. Jan. 6 was a chaotic security failure, not an insurrection. Most of the defendants were unarmed. Many walked through open rope lines. And yet the regime has used that day to smear millions of Americans and justify years of political prosecutions.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) recently called Jan. 6 “the culmination of a sustained effort to undermine our democracy.” But what sustained effort? Four years later, no mass violence, no uprisings. Nothing at all.

Now, compare that to what we’re seeing from the radical left.

Ambush in Alvarado

After months of threatening Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Antifa terrorists launched a coordinated attack on an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. This wasn’t a protest gone wrong. This was a planned ambush.

At least 11 people, dressed in black tactical gear, carried out the assault. First, they fired fireworks at the building, vandalized security cameras, and sprayed graffiti, including “ICE pig,” “traitor,” and other profanities on vehicles. The goal was to draw agents outside.

When two unarmed officers responded, one assailant opened fire from nearby woods, shooting a police officer in the neck. Another attacker, wearing a green mask, sprayed 20 to 30 rounds at the agents.

Authorities arrested 11 suspects. Ten were charged with attempted murder of a federal officer and firearms charges. One was charged with obstruction of justice. Police recovered AR-style rifles (one jammed), body armor, Kevlar vests, helmets, tactical gloves, radios, and Faraday bags to block phone signals.

Andy Ngo linked the attackers to an Antifa cell in Dallas-Fort Worth. It’s a miracle they failed. But what should alarm us is their level of funding, coordination, and willingness to kill.

Just the beginning

On Thursday, during a raid in Camarillo, California, ICE agents again came under fire. There's a pattern forming, and it isn’t isolated.

The same ideology — radical leftism, anti-Americanism, Marxism, anti-Zionism — is fueling a wave of political violence that dwarfs anything seen on the right. Consider the past eight months:

  • Assassination of United Healthcare CEO (Dec. 4): Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan. His manifesto raged against the health care industry. Left-wing voices lionized him. Some disturbing polling shows young Democrats were more likely to condone the killing.
  • Double murder of Israeli embassy staff (May 21): Elias Rodriguez allegedly killed two staffers in D.C., shouting “Free Palestine.” He left a manifesto called “Escalate for Gaza: Bring the War Home.” He had ties to the China-linked Party for Socialism and Liberation.
  • Molotov attack at a pro-Israel rally in Colorado (June 1): Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally, allegedly attacked demonstrators with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails. One victim later died. Soliman had reportedly planned the assault for a year.
  • Firebombing of Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home (D-Pa.) (April 13): Cody Balmer allegedly launched a Molotov cocktail into the Pennsylvania governor’s house during Passover. Shapiro, a rare pro-Israel Democrat, was targeted for his stance on Israel. His family was inside.
  • Attack on Atlanta police facility (March 6): A left-wing mob assaulted the Public Safety Training Center with rocks, bricks, and firebombs. Some were charged with domestic terrorism.
  • ICE facility attack in Portland (June 18): Rioters used fireworks and pushed dumpsters toward the facility. ICE responded with nonlethal force. Over 20 were arrested. Many were tied to the same Chinese-linked PSL network.
  • Shooting at No Kings protest in Salt Lake City (June 14): In a murky incident of left-on-left violence, Antifa-style “safety volunteers” shot and killed a bystander after reportedly misidentifying an armed protester.
  • Bomb-maker arrested in West Chester, Pennsylvania (June 14): Kevin Krebs was allegedly found with 13 pipe bombs, 3D-printed gun parts, 21 handguns, tactical gear, and an AR-15. He was arrested at a No Kings protest. He remains held without bail.
  • Attacks on Tesla and GOP offices (January-April, 2025): As Musk joined the Trump administration, Tesla sites nationwide were firebombed and vandalized. One self-described “queer” activist torched both a dealership and a Republican Party office in Albuquerque.

What we’re really dealing with

Not all these incidents were organized by the same groups. But together, they show a dangerous trend: increasing sophistication, coordination, and lethality among left-wing militants.

This isn’t just protest culture gone too far. It’s a movement gearing up for war. They’re training. They’re arming. They’re radicalizing online and in activist spaces. And while conservatives have long viewed themselves as the only side armed, that’s no longer true.

Groups like the Socialist Rifle Association and the John Brown Gun Club are producing radicals like Benjamin Song, a former Marine and the suspected ringleader of the July 4 ICE ambush.

Antifa cells are evolving. They’re abandoning mass protest tactics for small-cell terror and direct action.

What needs to happen now

Step one: Designate Antifa and its associated groups as domestic terrorist organizations. Trace their funding. Investigate every affiliated cell, especially those connected to the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

Step two: Ramp up law enforcement. Federal agents need to respond to ICE attacks with overwhelming force. Nonlethal crowd control won’t cut it.

Step three: Empower states. Legislatures should pass laws imposing serious penalties on those who interfere with immigration enforcement. If the feds won’t punish them, the states must.

Step four: Citizens must get serious. Stay armed. Stay trained. Sheriffs should follow the lead of Pinal County’s Mark Lamb and form citizen posses. It’s past time for more robust local defense.

The projection is over

For years, the corporate media and activist left warned you about “armed insurrectionists.” They told you the militia movement was coming. They said America would face domestic political terror.

Well, they were right.

But it wasn’t coming from where they said. It was coming from them.

Protest Is Overrated

For most protests in modern America, the operating assumption is that action from the government will solve the problem.

Kids 'cosplaying as ICE agents' and performing raids on 'illegals' in Roblox game



Illegal aliens are in the crosshairs of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — even in the video game world.

Users of the massively popular online game Roblox are not only performing in-game raids on "illegals," but they are also facing anti-ICE protests in the game's fictional streets.

'This is the only thing we can turn to.'

In Roblox, gamers can design virtually anything in a scaled-down, pixelated 3D world, leading to intricate gardens, basketball courts, or, in this case, federal agents sweeping facilities for illegal immigrants.

"Kids are cosplaying as ICE agents in Roblox, staging raids on fellow players who they deem illegal," reporter Taylor Lorenz wrote on X. "Hundreds of kids are also protesting ICE in rallies across Brookhaven, Roblox's most popular experience."

In one staged scenario, ICE agents raid a Roblox version of a chicken restaurant called Los Pollos Hermanos found in the hit TV show "Breaking Bad."

A firefight ensues, and ICE makes arrests of several employees.

Other videos posted to TikTok show a raid on a character in his bedroom at the hands of just one ICE agent with a baseball bat, while another shows an organized anti-ICE protest, complete with signs that say "F Ice," likely because curse words are not allowed on the platform.

Lorenz spoke to a 17-year-old who she said "organized the largest anti-ICE protest in Roblox," which featured burning police cars and Roblox characters holding Mexican flags while battling police.

"A lot of young people really want to protest and put their words and beliefs out there but are unable to," the child told Lorenz. "So this is the only thing we can turn to."

At least six more in-game anti-ICE protests were being organized, according to the teen. Most of the action has reportedly happened in "Brookhaven," the most popular server in Roblox, which has seen upwards of one million users at one time.

Blaze News previously reported on Roblox's enormous user base last year, about 58% of which were under the age of 16, equating to around 46 million children on the platform.

However, Roblox has strict safety measures and a history of taking serious precautions to protect children.

Roblox did not respond to a request for comment regarding whether or not in-game scenarios like the protests and raids went against their terms of service.

Former reality TV contestant shot and killed at No Kings protest by 'peacekeeper,' police say



A Utah man was killed during a No Kings protest after he was inadvertently shot at a demonstration in downtown Salt Lake City, according to police.

Around 7:56 p.m. on Saturday, a sergeant with the Salt Lake City Police Department Motor Squad reported hearing gunfire at the demonstration that drew approximately 10,000 protesters, according to a statement from the Salt Lake City Police Department.

'The shooting at tonight’s protest in Salt Lake City is a deeply troubling act of violence and has no place in our public square.'

"As panic spread throughout the area, hundreds of people ran for safety, hiding in parking garages, behind barriers, and going into nearby businesses," the Salt Lake City Police Department stated.

Officers and two Salt Lake City Police Department SWAT team members — who are also Salt Lake City Fire paramedics — located a man suffering from a gunshot wound and immediately conducted lifesaving measures.

The shooting victim was rushed to a local hospital, but he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.

Police identified the shooting victim as Arthur Folasa Ah Loo. Authorities said Loo had been an "innocent bystander who was not the intended target of the gunfire."

RELATED: Over 98% of Americans ignore No Kings' tired tantrum

Just minutes after the shooting, people at the No Kings protest flagged down police officers. The officers found 24-year-old Arturo Gamboa armed and dressed in black, wearing a black mask as he was "crouching among a group of people with a gunshot wound."

People at the protest informed police officers that there was a firearm near where Gamboa was crouching, which was described as an "AR-15-style rifle."

Two men, identified as peacekeeping members at the demonstration, informed officers that Gamboa was acting in a "suspicious" manner before the shooting.

The peacekeepers told police that they "saw Gamboa move away from the crowd and move into a secluded area behind a wall — behavior they found suspicious."

"One of the peacekeepers told detectives he saw Gamboa pull out an AR-15-style rifle from a backpack and begin manipulating it," according to the Salt Lake City Police Department.

The peacekeepers reportedly drew their guns and ordered Gamboa to drop his firearm.

Witnesses at the protest claimed that Gamboa disregarded the orders and lifted his rifle, then began running toward the crowd while "holding the weapon in a firing position."

One of the peacekeepers allegedly responded by firing three gunshots toward Gamboa, who was hit by gunfire. However, police said that one of the rounds struck Loo.

The peacekeepers immediately attempted to provide aid to Loo, according to the press release from the Salt Lake City Police Department.

Police said Gamboa was transported to the hospital.

Gamboa was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail. He was charged with murder.

Police stated, "Detectives have developed probable cause that Gamboa acted under circumstances that showed a depraved indifference to human life, knowingly engaged in conduct that created a grave risk of death, and ultimately caused the death of an innocent community member."

Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said, "Our detectives are now working to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident. We will not allow this individual act to create fear in our community."

Redd added, "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the 39-year-old man who was killed, and with the many community members who were impacted by this traumatic incident."

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) wrote on the X social media platform, "The shooting at tonight’s protest in Salt Lake City is a deeply troubling act of violence and has no place in our public square. This is an active situation, and we’re working closely with law enforcement to ensure accountability."

According to KSL, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall (D) said, "The purpose of today's demonstration was a powerful and peaceful expression until this event, and that cannot be overshadowed or silenced by a single act meant to harm. I want to urge everyone in the public to be calm, to give one another grace, and to look out for one another tonight in the coming days."

KSL reported that Loo was a "widely-known and accomplished fashion designer" who appeared on the 17th season of the "Project Runway" reality TV show.

Loo — who was born and grew up in Samoa — is survived by his wife.

The Salt Lake City Police Department said the investigation into the deadly shooting is ongoing.

The Salt Lake City Police Department is urging anyone who took photos and videos at the crime scene to submit possible evidence here.

Anti-ICE protester exposed as serial left-wing activist since 1980s, protested at 'Dyke' march and against Coca-Cola



Two anti-immigration enforcement protesters who blocked New York City traffic this week have been revealed as long-time activists, with one participating in protests since the 1980s.

The two activists were filmed on Tuesday morning blocking traffic on Houston Street in Lower Manhattan. One of the New Yorkers in the stopped traffic, a mother, pleaded with the activists to move out of the way so she could get to work. The activists instead told her there was nothing they could do, with one even laughing at the idea that she had a job to get to.

'We were preventing the cars from driving into the marchers. There were at least 10,000 of them behind us.'

The two activists, who were part of a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting illegal immigrants, were identified by the Daily Mail as individuals who have been involved in left-wing activism for years.

One activist, identified as Karen Ramspacher, is a 60-year-old who has engaged in activism since at least 1989. As the Daily Mail noted, Ramspacher was quoted in a 1989 issue of OutWeek magazine about being arrested at an abortion rights protest.

In 2002, Ramspacher, then part of a group called ACT UP, was quoted in a report about a protest against the Coca-Cola Company. The ACT UP activists were described by the Nation as "an organization known for civil disobedience and surprise protests."

In a 2020 article from the Cut, Ramspacher was quoted on her view of activism.

"What activism does is it focuses your attention and turns your fear into something good," Ramspacher told the outlet.

Also according to the Daily Mail, Ramspacher was pictured at the 2017 25th Annual Dyke March for lesbian rights and the 2022 Women's March in Washington, D.C.

Ramspacher justified impeding the NYC traffic this week in an interview with the Daily Mail, saying it was "a temporary, momentary interruption to the regular flow of traffic" in order to "bring attention and express people's concerns about this dangerous situation we find ourselves in where the military and ICE agents are going into the communities and taking our friends and family members."

The veteran activist said that she and the male protester were not necessarily blocking traffic, but rather "we were preventing the cars from driving into the marchers. There were at least 10,000 of them behind us."

Ramspacher also said in the interview that she did not know the male protester, despite both holding onto the same bicycle when blocking traffic. That man was identified by the Daily Mail as Trevor Britvec, who also has a history of activism in the city.

The U.K. outlet cited public records showing that Britvec sued New York City over alleged civil rights violations by the NYPD in July 2020 at a Black Lives Matter protest.

Britvec was also allegedly arrested in September 2020 but had his charges dismissed. He was part of a subsequent lawsuit against New York City with other BLM protesters, resulting in a settlement with the city. Britvec was awarded $115,000, the Daily Mail reported.


Interestingly, in the video from earlier this week, Britvec mocked a desperate mother over having to go to work:

"Oh no, not work," the male protester said sarcastically to reporter Savanah Hernandez, who filmed the ordeal. "I care so much," Britvec joked, making a mockery of the mother's situation.

Billionaire Walmart heiress funds anti-Trump chaos, backs radical 'No Kings' protests



Christy Walton, a geriatric heiress to the Walmart fortune who had a 2% stake in the company as of last year, has made no secret of her liberal bent and has proven willing to shovel money into initiatives she apparently reckons will further the cause.

Walton, whose net worth Forbes presently puts north of $19 billion, co-hosted a fundraiser last year for Kamala Harris' doomed presidential campaign and recently poured cash into a group supporting Senate Democrats.

She previously dumped tens of thousands of dollars into the Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump group founded by a handful of former Republican operatives, including John Weaver, who allegedly had a habit of sexually harassing young men online. Walton continued donating to the group even after it staged a fake white supremacist rally in late 2021 to smear then-candidate Glenn Youngkin ahead of the Virginia gubernatorial election.

'We will make action everywhere else the story of America that day.'

After throwing her money behind various political failures, she now appears keen to support something more consequential.

While fellow travelers were attacking police and federal law enforcement agents in Los Angeles, the Walmart heiress set about promoting even more unrest, placing a full-page ad in the New York Times on Sunday featuring an image of the Statue of Liberty and a list of collective declarations, including "we defend against aggression by dictators" and "we uphold and defend the Constitution."

While nearly identical to an anodyne ad she placed in the paper in March, Walton's new ad also contained a call to action along with a QR code directing viewers to a website for the "No Kings" demonstrations planned across the country for June 14.

According to the organizers' tool kit for the demonstrations, "NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration."

The event page notes, "On June 14th, we rise up."

President Donald Trump is planning to celebrate the 250th birthday of the Army with a parade in the nation's capital. The No Kings rally is supposed to serve as a leftist counterpoint.

The tool kit states: "Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption."

While the Associated Press suggested the No Kings rally would involve a march to the White House, organizers claim on their website that they are not holding an event in Washington, D.C., directing fellow travelers in the area to instead find a mobilization in Virginia or Maryland.

No Kings counts among its partners various radical organizations such Planned Parenthood, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and the Organization for Black Struggle. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), fresh off defending his private jet usage to and from speeches condemning inequality, is also apparently a supporter.

Randi Weingarten, the American Federation of Teachers boss instrumental in keeping kids out of the classroom during the pandemic, is hosting a "No Kings Day Town Hall" Tuesday evening, promising to help fellow radicals "get ready to organize, mobilize, and build power for the future." Other such events are planned in the lead-up to the nationwide uprising.

The outfit behind the protests promoted by Walton is the 50501 Movement, a leftist anti-Trump protest group.

Blaze News previously reported that the Massachusetts chapter of the 50501 Movement was behind the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Boston on Monday.

Kylie Bemis, an organizer with 50501, framed the protests as a response to an "act of war."

"This is an attack on American liberty," Bemis said in a statement obtained by Boston.com. "The right to freedom of speech and due process of the law must be protected above all else, and the response by the Trump administration is tantamount to a declaration of war against the American people."

'President Trump will always do what is needed to keep American citizens safe.'

Blaze News reached out to the email provided at the bottom of Walton's ad but did not receive a response by deadline. However, a source familiar with Walton's thinking on the topic told Blaze news that the "ad is a personal message from Christy that focuses on encouraging people to engage peacefully and civically in next weekend's events on June 14th."

"Her message promotes peaceful dialogue and the sharing of diverse views and voices," continued the source. "She condemns violence in all forms and continues to emphasize the importance of listening to one another."

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) intimated that Walton's advertisement might have less to do with ideology and more to do with maximizing the value of her stake in Walmart, noting, "Looks like the Walmart dynasty is big mad about China tariffs."

— (@)

Walmart declined Blaze News' request for comment. The Walton family office could not immediately be reached for comment.

When asked about the forthcoming nationwide protests, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson previously told Blaze News, "Any individual who wants to mimic the violence, lawlessness, and rioting in California should think twice."

"President Trump will always do what is needed to keep American citizens safe, especially when weak Democrat leaders fail to do so," added Jackson.
