When Is Tr**p's Birthday Bash Military Parade Scheduled For?...... .

[global1]

What are the latest details re: the show of force he wants to display? What could possibly go wrong at such an event? Is he really going through with this?

[Emile]

1. Military parade fit for a dictator, but no food for hungry kids.

I think it's sometime in June or July.

[Blues Heron]

5. June 14

[Paladin]

2. We need some big, angry public protests against this travesty---coast to coast. (nt)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Last report I saw said over 600 planned (a week ago). I think organizations are called 50501 and Indivisible. . . nt

[DinahMoeHum]

29. It's called No Kings Day. . .

15. In a perfect world,

Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift would hold a free concert on the opposite side of town.

[Emile]

26. +1

[Wiz Imp]

36. Good thought, but Springsteen has a concert in Prague (Czech Republic) on June 15.

[Historic NY]

3. Get enough people in DC and it will stop in its tracks

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. No. Avoid DC that weekend. It will be crawling with maga and security. Protest heavy every where else. . . . nt

[Historic NY]

8. I just got back with construction and traffic

slows to a crawl. Pray for rain because we had lost of flooding

[Emile]

9. The media will only cover the dictator's parade.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Not true. Particularly if our crowds are larger, as they have been in the protests so far. Keep building them. . nt

[Blues Heron]

11. How do you protest a parade except at the parade itself?

Im not sure avoiding it is an effective strategy. Normally you confront the thing face to face.

But yeah, lets all go to Baltimore to protest the DC parade

[Tanuki]

12. There will be hundreds of local " No Kings" protests

all across the country.
https://indivisible.org/statements/indivisible-and-partners-announce-no-kings-nationwide-day-defiance-flag-day-during

"Today, Indivisible and a coalition of pro-democracy partner organizations announced the NO KINGS Nationwide Day of Defiance on Flag Day (June 14). The actions are set to take place during Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., on June 14. Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity, activists will make action everywhere else the story of America that day.

Alongside local organizers, partners, and leaders from across the pro-democracy and pro-worker movements, activists across the country will come together for marches, rallies, and demonstrations to reject corrupt, authoritarian politics in the United States.

This mobilization is inspired by the success of Hands Off! and May Day and is intended to once again motivate actions in towns and cities in every state in the country. Over 100 events have already been registered all over the country, and more will be added here.

As the mobilization’s organizers announced on the website NoKings.org: "...(more)

18. That is so silly. Just protest it where it is, get signs in the tv shots, don't cede the easy ground to the losers.

I can believe people are posting this counterproductive strategy.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Avoid direct confrontation with superior force. Use strategy to avoid having to use tactics

https://www.bookey.app/topic/unlocking-the-art-of-war%3A-fight-the-enemy-where-they-arent---the-meaning-behind-strategy

The most effective way to defeat an enemy is to avoid direct confrontation and instead seek out their weaknesses and exploit them. This principle can be applied to various aspects of life, not just in the context of war.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. 600+ protests already planned. Previous weekends there have over 1000 protests.

How many maga are going to go to DC that weekend? Many, but not massive numbers.

Normally you do confront things face to face. That is what has been happening across the nation on weekends. But tRump is hoping for some violence on the periphery in DC.

Don't play by his play book. Use Sun Tzu. Fight the enemy where they aren't.

[Blues Heron]

16. No, that's silly, don't give them a freebie.

Line the route with peaceful protests. We need brave people, not cowards. That should be obvious. Overwhelm them with numbers.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Bravery is not stupid. They will control the streets. Protestors will not line the route

maga and tRump want trouble. They will create create trouble any chance they get. They will make violence out of any protest, no matter how peaceful the intention.

Don't give them the chance by being there.

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. -Sun Tzu

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. -Sun Tzu

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. -Sun Tzu

Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. -Sun Tzu

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious. -Sun Tzu

Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy’s strategy. -Sun Tzu

實而備之，強而避之，怒而撓之，卑而驕之，佚而勞之，親而離之，出其不意，攻其不備。
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

The regime is expecting protests in DC. They will be prepared for protests in DC. Don't give it what it wants.

[Blues Heron]

22. Don't obey in advance.

This sun tzu stuff is really silly. I’ve seen it on Reddit too, same idea- don’t protest the parade, go to some random shopping mall and stand there with a sign, because Sun tzu. Oy.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Going to DC June 14th is obeying in advance. He wants crowds. His goons will overwhelm any protests with violence.

Oy yourself.

Don't play by his playbook.

Protesting EVERYWHERE else is the opposite of obeying in advance.

[Blues Heron]

28. I can't believe I'm reading this on the DU.

If you can’t get to DC, fine, protest at the supermarket or whatever. You will get no coverage. If you can possibly get to DC, DO IT. Don’t back down because “the enemy is strong” - they are not. They are weak. Trump would LOVE no protesters in DC, that’s EXACTLY what he wants. Then he can say they were too scared to get out there.

[Conjuay]

17. Online folks are intending

To flood social media with pictures of President Obama on that day.

Remind people what a real president looks like.

[Blues Heron]

19. Cool

We need to employ everything. Avoiding DC has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard though.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Protesting in DC on the 14th is the simple thing the simple-minded regime expects

Yes, employ everything but not where the enemy is strong.

[Blues Heron]

24. Dude, no.

Get out there! Make some noise! Don’t listen to the people literally telling you not to protest! Or where to protest.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Yes, get out there. Make some noise! It won't be heard in DC.

Where are you going to be? DC, right? Good luck.

Don’t listen to the people literally telling you not to protest!

Nobody is saying don't protest.

Or where to protest.

That would be you. You are telling people where to protest, i.e. you are telling them to protest in DC.

[Blues Heron]

33. Lol

Good luck with that. I’m glad brave people will be out there getting in their face, not cowering in a comfortable shady location.

Maybe later we can have an Tesla protest at the Chevy dealership! Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Meanwhile, if you can get to DC, do it. Don’t listen to the naysayers with the weird don’t protest strategy.

[Blues Heron]

14. This

Flood the city with protesters

[dem4decades]

4. It's Trump's birthday parade, his birthday is June 14th.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. I suggest also hold a buyer's strike that day. Shop Friday. Protest Saturday. Relax Sunday. . . .nt

[Dave Bowman]

31. This is such a stupid idea and it does make the U.S look weak.

[Skittles]

39. Trump ALREADY makes America look WEAK

THIS would just add to it. UGH!!!

[Rebl2]

32. If we are

lucky, there will be thunderstorms and pouring rain.

[Miami Blue]

34. Dear Leather Don John Un, as in Un-stable-weirdo

He is a demented red clown 🤡 who is indeed an exceptionally dangerous criminal. Please impeach him ASAP for his abuse of power. Then, Congress, you must act and invoke Article 25. After that, you have to make sure you hurl his bigAss into the paddle room at The Walter Reed’s 54 Psychiatric Ward in perpetuum.

Btw, Traitor JD Vance is as good as shit.
So Congress should remove him as well.

[Wonder Why]

35. I don't remember Rev Martin Luther King marching in Boise to show the Selma, Alabama police

that the peaceful march was just. And I saw on the news what happened. I'm glad he marched.

[Blues Heron]

37. There will be protesters in DC, the only question is how many. Some want more, others here seem to want fewer

Im with the more coalition.

[WarGamer]

38. The 250th Birthday of the US Army is June 14... I don't know or care when his Birthday is.

I REFUSE to call it a Trump Birthday Parade.

It's the celebration for the US Army.

[dpibel]

40. How can you not know?

It's been pretty widely in the news and much discussed on DU, including threads you participated in.

You can refuse to call it what you want. But it's not actually all that convincing for you to say you don't know anything about this Trump birthday business.
