'Far left is murderously violent': Is Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter a Democrat?
Vance Luther Boelter worked for Minnesota Dem Governor Tim Walz but his pal says he is a Trump supporter 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter allegedly shot and killed Minnesota politician Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman at their home in Brooklyn Park -- posing as a police officer. A manhunt has been launched while Democrats and Republicans are at odds with the political affiliation of Boelter -- as the killed politicians were Democrats. Roommate says Boelter is a Trump voter According to reports, a roommate of Boelter who knew him from fourth grade claimed that the suspect was a Trump supporter. David Carlson, the friend, claimed to have received the last text message from Boelter which said: "I may be dead shortly. I wish it hasn't gone this way. I don't want to say anything more. You guys don't know anything about this. I love you guys and I am sorry for all the troubles this has caused." The friend, however, said they did not speak about politics lately. — elonmusk (@elonmusk) Elon Musk reacted to the murders and shared an X post writing: 'The far left is murderously violent". The post he had shared reflected on how the left became a "full-blown" domestic terrorist organization. "The left kills the CEO of United Healthcare. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Kills two Israeli ambassadors staffers.

The left has become a full blown domestic terrorist organization," the post said. Is Boelter a Democrat? The MAGA rejected that Boelter was a Trump supporter and emphasized that he was employed by Governor Tim Walz and there were 'No Kings Day' poster found in his car. "The media wants to gaslight you into thinking the shooter in Minnesota is a Trump supporter. He was appointed by Walz. He was friends with Walz. And he had NO KINGS flyers in his car. No Kings is a violent group and it's no surprise the shooting took place the day the NO KINGS protests kicked off across the country. The organizers of NO KINGS and @GovTimWalz need to be detained by the FBI and interrogated," Trump aide Laura Loomer said.

‘No Kings' day: Louisiana AG says protest peacefully or face criminal prosecution
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Protesters will take to the streets across the nation in opposition to the Trump Administration's policies. At the same time, President Trump prepares to celebrate his 79th birthday, the Army's 250th anniversary, and Flag Day with a first-of-its-kind military parade through Washington, D.C. State and local law enforcement are on alert as the events unfold in downtown Los Angeles. Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of 5,000 National Guard troops across the state to manage protests. Louisiana has not announced guard deployment, but Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill had a message for those who choose to engage in demonstrations planned across the state. 'The First Amendment guarantees the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government – it does not protect anarchy, vandalism, or rioting. This isn't California. I'll defend constitutionally-protected activity, but I'll prosecute criminal actions.' – AG Murrill AG Murrill The Shreveport Police Department is aware of the 'No Kings' protest planned to take place downtown and stated that they do not anticipate violence, but are prepared should the events of the day take a turn. 'We have no reason to believe that that's going to occur this weekend, but if it should begin, our officers will be ready and will take action. There is no circumstance in which damaging property or hurting individuals or hurting police officers is acceptable to the Shreveport Police Department; however, we don't believe that is going to be the case,' Corporal Chris Bordelon said. In a statement announcing the protest, the Shreveport DSA, the event's organizer, said, 'A core principle behind all NO KINGS events is a commitment to nonviolent action,' and asks that even legally permitted firearms not be brought to the event. The 'No Kings' protest is scheduled from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. outside the Caddo Parish Courthouse, located at 501 Texas Street in downtown Shreveport. The chapter will host a public meeting to discuss upcoming projects from noon until 2 p.m. at Caddo Common Park. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Brief "No Kings" demonstrations against the Trump administration are planned throughout the U.S. for Saturday, June 14.

Seattle's protests are set for the University of Washington's Red Square and Cal Anderson Park, with the mayor urging peaceful conduct. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is urging peaceful protests in Seattle, saying violence is what Trump wants to "spin his false narrative" about the city. SEATTLE - Protests against President Donald Trump's administration are set for Saturday in hundreds of cities across the U.S., including several in Seattle and Washington state. What we know The "No Kings" demonstration is a nationwide day of protests challenging what organizers call "authoritarian excesses and corruption" by the Trump administration. The demonstrations emphasize that "in America, we don't put up with would-be kings," highlighting concerns over crackdowns on free speech and defiance of the courts. On Saturday, June 14, scheduled rallies will also coincide with Trump's birthday — and will run counter to Trump's military parade planned in Washington, D.C.

What is 'No Kings' day? Why millions are protesting on June 14, Trump's birthday
Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States today under the banner of 'No Kings' day, a coordinated movement aimed at pushing back against what demonstrators see as authoritarian overreach since the president returned to office in January. Protesters say the event is a symbolic rejection of what they view as unchecked executive power, highlighting recent policies they argue erode democratic norms and civil liberties — particularly those targeting immigration, LGBTQIA+ communities, and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The 'No Kings National Day of Mobilizations' comes as protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles escalated this week, following Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the state, an unusual step without the governor's permission. Texas officials have taken similar measures, as Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed this week that he will deploy over 5,000 National Guard soldiers to cities throughout the state amid ongoing protests in San Antonio and Austin. Here's what we know.

Know your rights for anti-Trump protests on Saturday The demonstrations are organized by Indivisible, a nonprofit coalition of progressive political action groups, which states that it is organizing 'to reject corrupt, authoritarian politics.' "In America, we don't put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies," the protest event states. "We've watched as they've cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens and defied the courts. They've done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies." The website adds that the day is to "gather to remind President Trump and his enablers: America has No King!" June 14 is Flag Day, which this year marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army. To celebrate, the U.S. Army is holding a military parade that will cross in front of Trump's viewing stand and bisect the National Mall. It is expected to include 7,500 soldiers and 120 vehicles, and is estimated to cost up to $45 million. It is also Trump's 79th birthday. 'President 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,' says the website. '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.' Trump has long wanted to hold military parades, pushing for them twice during his first term. However, his former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis objected to the idea as a politicization of the military. In response to the parade and other grievances with the Trump administration, No Kings is planning protests nationwide, stating that protesters are not "gathering to feed his ego" but rather "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," the event states. "On June 14th, we're showing up everywhere he isn't — to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings." Trump has promised retaliation for protesters, stating on June 10 that "they're going to be met with very big force." Several Texas cities are expected to hold rallies for "No Kings Day of Mobilizations" this weekend. You can find one near you on this map.
