A note from the No Kings website about D.C.: 

 

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.

Instead of allowing this birthday 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.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.

I'm going to my local one in NOVA. I'm sort of skeptical of protests doing much good in general, but shit it's about the least I can do to go stand somewhere in public for an hour or two in the midst of this fucking horror show

on 14 June 1775 the 2nd continental congress officially established the continental army, over a year before the declaration of independence

the regime has hijacked the 250th anniversary of the us army and they have been holding back that talking point until they need it

the no-kings comms should encourage signs playing on this datapoint

He will inflict violence on civilians somewhere.

Good.  We need him to do that.  Do his evil out in the open, for all Americans to see.  Put women and children on the front lines.  Create the opportunity for thousands of images of the Gestapo clubbing and gassing innocents.  Don't worry, they'll get around to killing some.  Maybe more than a few.  They can't help it.  It's in their fascist nature.

This feels like it could be a very important day for the future of our country. 

While Trump has war machines rolling through his DC parade, there looks to be a well coordinated mass protest throughout the country. The contrast and optics will be fascinating to see unfold. 

Anyone going to their local protest? 4 days away....

Same. Peaceable protest.

Scientific American already had this covered, back in 2020.

Thank you, good sir.  That is useful information.  With the advances in technology in the last 5 years and the trump admin collecting all data for Palantir, I am under no illusion that my identity or that of my wife are safe, even with the precautions recommended in the article.  I'll take what comes.  I have no choice.

I'm going to be hunkered down in my Condo, hoping the city doesn't explode into violence. 

They are going to have the Mall on a level of lock down I've not ever really seen.  It would be hard to protest, tbh, given the road closures and security fencing going up.

So a parade…. without people? Just tanks and shit? That’s just great.

Oh, I'm sure we'll have troops marching.  I'm guessing they're teaching them to goose-step as we speak, so they can do the full-on "show for our dear authoritarian leader" routine as they pass the reviewing stand.

We went from a constitutional republic to a kleptocratic dictatorship in, literally, weeks.  What we had was that fragile.

And half of our country thinks that's a GOOD thing.

Man, the best would be if they threw this parade and no one showed up.

You know, kind of like that first inauguration.

*I feel sorry for the Army to have to waste its anniversary on tfg's birthday. They should've got a real celebration. Like lots of beer and whores.

I saw an article the other day that looked at hotel reservations this weekend and apparently it’s been flat. God it would be so delicious if it was empty

It will be "the largest crowd to ever turn out for any parade or event in Washington in history," and you know it.

Can't wait for the AI images of packed crowds with tears streaming down their faces because they're so happy to be in close proximity to dear leader

I mean, room rates on Bonvoy in DC are pretty good, so….yeah. They were much more expensive last week for Pride.

Exactly.  It’s a massive fuck up if he slaughters someone for simply holding up a sign - he definitely wants to punish anyone, even someone totally innocent, so it’s all set up.  

Those behind the scenes wish he would act in silence but he can’t help himself.  For the 1000th time, this is all very bad, but we are still lucky there’s so many idiots in charge.

Bless you, Bateshorn, your avatar alone will be enough to bring down this motherfucker, this Enemy of Enlightenment, this orange coated basilisk of bufgoonety. the mere sight of Elizabeth Taylor in Giant gives me hope and joy all at the same time. Keats wrote, “Beauty is truth and truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth and all ye need to know.” Damn right. That tanned and luscious Liz in a bra in her prime avatar should be enlarged and affixed to giant signs and banners.  Trump World will wither and dissolve like the Wicked Witch of the West.  Where’s my evening dose of morphine?

Well shit--I am going to be downtown in my office writing a brief anyway.  I might as well walk over to the Capitol for a few hours Saturday and run the very serious risk of getting shot by the SS.

It’s all very Soviet

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to "show off its might," President Dwight Eisenhower said, "Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak."
