  2. I think do it the day before so he can’t say “Look how many people came out on my special day just for me”

  3. Why am I not seeing anyone mention that people can simply show up to boo and jeer.

  5. “Every city was filled with people in the streets singing Happy Birthday to me. All with tears in their eyes. It was beautiful. Unlike anything the world has ever seen.”

  6. Have people stand in front of the tanks, one at a time. Whenever someone is removed, another takes their place, thereby delaying the parade. Maybe have ’em yell out “I’m Spartacus!”

  7. Please protest away from the parade route (unless there are farmers willing to dump manure along parade route). If you’re going to be near the parade route, signs that read ‘fuck flotus’ will really get under his thin, orange skin. Book all the hotels close to the parade as well so magats have to pay more.

  8. “Real power isn’t staged in Washington,” the group said. “It rises up everywhere else.”

  9. Don’t we have the 2nd amendment so we the people can arm ourselves against a government that attempts to force a monarchy. Just saying.

  10. And somehow that will get twisted into:

    “See, nobody liked Martin Luther King. Why do we have a holiday for him?”

  12. I see the American remake of “The Tank Man” incoming. Hopefully not as bloody.

  13. So they are following through with this military parade? For real?

  15. Remember to be non violent, folks. You don’t want to give him the excuse to use declare martial law.

    Take precautions. Don’t take your children to this protest just in case.

    Masks are your friend. Coordinate off social media. Try to avoid taking your phone but do take a burner if you can.

    Stay hydrated but be aware you’re gonna have trouble finding a bathroom.

    Don’t park near the event if you have anti administration bumper stickers. You’ll just invite people to vandalize. Speaking of- don’t vandalize. Every person caught doing stuff like this will be used to reflect on all of us.

    Do not bring weapons or anything that can be seen as one. Even if you have a CCP. Why? Because the secret service does not fuck around with threats and you don’t want to be sniped from a roof because of optics.

    If you are arrested do not put up a fight. Do not say anything unless you have a public defender assigned to you or your own lawyer.

    If you’re any shade other than white… you’re really fucking brave going to any protest these days and especially if you go to this protesting. I wish I had advice for you. Just wishing safety for all.

  16. I would think having the protests at other locations while his parade is going on would highlight how poorly attended it is. Especially if they compare crowd sizes. Imagine his fury when a protest draws 3 or 4 times the number of people as his parade.

  17. No president in US history has ever ordered a parade for their own dumb ass birthday.

  19. Oh man, protests nationwide will be perfect, while he wastes so much of our taxpayer money on his stupid birthday.

  20. It’s also flag day on June 14th. Make sure you fly your upside down flags!!

  21. While I’m pro-anything-that-is-anti-Trump, a “no kings” protest is about Trump. I prefer the “post pictures of Obama online” or maybe even make it “national Obama/Biden appreciation day”.

    Nothing would upset him more.

  22. Don’t forget to post pictures of Obama that day (June 14).

  23. Shut it down. Occupy DC
    Surround Capitol and WH. 5 million strong. Don’t let it happen

  24. Adolf Hilter and Kim Il Sung are the only leaders to celebrate their birthday/day of sun with large displays of military power so far.

    As an American, this is incredibly embarrassing. I have never felt such shame as this in my life and I’m going to see if there are any folks protesting this near where I live. I live in a multi-cultural community with lots of immigrants, so we don’t see much action on the protest front due to fear of deportations.

  25. It goes without saying, but Black folks should enjoy the day off. Hang out with friends and family and stay away from this shit. Don’t give them what they want.

  26. A lot of people are going to get hurt. The people protesting know this. And I commend them for their willingness to go through it. Trump will truly look the tyrant he is when he has his goons strike down peaceful protesters.

  27. Our budget is apparently so overblown that this scumbag is willing to garnish the wages of students but we have the money for this ridiculous bullshit.

    MAGA does not give a single fuck about America or Americans.

  28. It strikes me that a month from now, store shelves will be bare and people will be panicking.

    And the fat old fuck will be leaning forward on his toddler chair shitting his pants and wanting to clap at all the tanks as they go by.

    Disrupt.

    This.

    Parade.

  29. It is the duty of every citizen there to interrupt that parade.

    This is America, not some tin pot dictatorship.

    We don’t do military parades for our presidents birthday. That’s some dictator shit.

  30. Vets that care about democracy should go and block it along with all of us.
