May 26

There is NOTHING planned within the borders of the District of Columbia. There are protests in Arlington, VA, and several in Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in MD. But NOTHING in DC itself. Nobody wants to be near there that day. In fact, I have a friend who lives in the Columbia Heights section in DC who is planning on not being around that day.

They seem really proud of this dumb strategy to not protest the parade in DC Blues Heron May 25 #3

will someone show up and stand in front of the tanks, Tiananmen Square style? dem4decades May 25 #5

Good, the more the better! Dont let this go unchallenged wherever you are, but dont avoid DC if you can make it there. Blues Heron May 25 #32

You won't be there. Easy for you to ask others to go for you. . . . .nt Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #71

Trump wants a massive demonstration DENVERPOPS May 25 #17

He would love no protesters, then he can (correctly) say they were too scared to protest. Blues Heron May 25 #26

He says shit all the time. But YOU will be in DC, right? Nobody needs to be in DC to massively protest it. Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #56

I'm planning on being there Blues Heron May 26 #90

Good for you to stand behind your proposal. I look forward to your report of DC on June 14. Be safe. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #96

What he loves more is the sound of skulls being cracked by uniformed thugs. Besides, DC allegorical oracle May 26 #69

obviously if people are too timid to protest they should stay at home, this is for the brave among us. Blues Heron May 26 #70

Bravely you are asking others to go to DC for you. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #72

Obviously, thats where the parade is, bro Blues Heron May 26 #74

A 1000 tiny protests is the best tool we have. TomSlick May 25 #31

Thankfully brave protesters will be standing up for whats right in DC despite the naysayers. Blues Heron May 25 #35

Do you really think that a large number of people from someplace other than the DC area TomSlick May 25 #39

Great, if you cant get to DC, by all means go for it! Blues Heron May 25 #41

They won't be tiny. I think some cities will have more people out in each than tRump will have in DC Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #52

I hope you're correct. TomSlick May 26 #64

Probably would have worked better actually responding to the actual post. I'm no good at reading minds. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #65

Fair enough then. Be safe. I don't know why you never said you'd be in DC June 14th when I asked many times Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #94

I need to get creative re: signs... Shall we share ideas? Obviously 'NO KINGS' would suffice but.. hlthe2b May 25 #9

Better wording on signs would be.......... DENVERPOPS May 25 #20

Exactly, most people don't think king is a bad word. "No kings" sounds like a bad card hand or something. Blues Heron May 25 #27

Do you know our country started by rejecting monarchy? travelingthrulife May 26 #76

Not going to happen. Was never going to happen. DC will be crawling with maga & ICE & police & hardcore military Bernardo de La Paz May 26 #55

Nope Deep State Witch May 26 #60

The idea is to distract attention from his military parade, not to provoke a confrontation. HeartsCanHope May 25 #24
