Trump’s $45 million military parade celebrating his own birthday on Saturday, June 14 looks to be a bit of a bust, between rainy weather and disappointing turnout.
We had a big turnout in Tacoma, WA. Several hundred gathered to listen to speeches and music. Cars driving by were honking in support and some had signs attached to the tops of their cars.
10,000 in Santa Cruz city...another 2000 or so in smaller protests around the county. Very good turnout considering this was graduation weekend for UCSC and the students were not there in force.
Our protest in Las Cruces, NM was joyful. It wasn't just the people at the protest, but a majority of people driving by honked and waved to us. Several cars had passengers who showed us their signs as they drove by. It was uplifting. About 10 trucks drove by with people who gave us the finger, It was less than 1% of the responses we got. I wore my Lincoln Square shirt and carried my sign that I made with my years old Lincoln Project poster of Donald Trump "Nope"--based on the Obama "Hope" poster.
Hi Christa 👋 I’m in Ruidoso, NM & we had a great time too!! We had at least 100 people & for a small rural town that’s pretty Republican, that was good. We also had many thumbs up & honks. There was a young man from Spain who kept driving by & he’d honk & waved the flag of Spain 🇪🇸
There were a handful of the middle fingers & 3-4 of the black exhaust pickups, but over all mostly a very positive day. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Super! What the media is missing in some of these protests is the massive amount of support that the people driving by demonstrated. I was so heartened.
The military parade was also a MARKETING device to lure disaffected young men to join the MAGA warriors. on NEWSMAX the amount of machismo bravado by the guest commentators (former military) was jarring. We're glad few showed but the television production by right wing media fuels the goal of the Army being an arm of a dictator TruMpf or MAGA as a political force. It wasn't just about D and his ego. There is danger ahead.
Let's treat all future "protests' as celebrations of democracy July 4th coming up can be just that....a big time celebration showing Orange Cheeto and his Nazi sycophants what Americans really appreciate Bring music snacks kids friends neighbors with a light and happy heart That's how you face threats of fascism here's a great musical video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaOY1YXJPUo that William Vasu shared on this thread Just excellent thanks
All right!!!! All right!! Let's keep on keeping on with protest, loud and clear and lawsuits. Resist the felon, Adulterer, conman liar TACO DonOLD and his minions. They all must be held to account. Remember Nuremberg!
Saw Rick Wilson in Talahassee and as for me, I was actually on one of our local news broadcasts carrying my American flag upside down. ✊🏼
3000 plus in Kirkland, WA. Great vibes. Several speakers including the mayor of Kirkland.

Hundreds or more here in Murphys, CA
Alameda, CA was 3000 people strong, not bad for a tiny Coast Guard Island! One of the biggest here ever. Peaceful, but defiant

Well if only a few thou turned up for the official birthday parade... the protest even in little Hilo, HI matched that!
Per BBC "Organisers had expected up to 200,000 people, but so far only a few thousand have turned up .... " HAHAHAHAHA ....
That's in reference to Donald's military parade ...

CELEBRATE THE GOOD TIMES

Yup. The “official” estimate just removed that zero. 70k in Seattle. But the whole damn city did turn out.
Seattle is actually 70,000 per Seattle Times
Des Moines, Iowa represented mightily!! 🇺🇸!!
Right on, except "We the People" is first line of the Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence! but you're forgiven!
