Trump's heavy hand in LA is actually doing us a favor. Trumps actions are a great motivator which will increase the push back and will definitely draw in new people.

The Fourth of July is a holiday and on Friday. It is the perfect opportunity to stage the next round of demonstrations.

If we do not keep up the pressure and growing the crowds, we all know that the MSM will write off the protests as just a few malcontents.
