Also the idea that we are supposed to cede the parade route to the magas just seems dumb. Get to DC if possible and get in their face, rain on their parade so to speak.

people to stay out of DC. They dont want this to be about a violent confrontation. The thousands of protests
across the nation will provide an alternative narrative to what is going on in DC. And they literally have well over 1000
scheduled already with more being scheduled every day and it' s still three weeks away .

Anybody that can get to DC please go! Don’t be afraid of non existent violence threats! Stay peaceful but be loud, don’t cede an inch of our streets to these fascists!

They will be doing what they are told. I doubt that they will want to be there. IMO, it's okay to rant against rumpy, but not the troops. Remember, we need them. Don't kid yourself that this is not going to end up in a confrontation. He is deploying his assets--them--and he will depend on them fighting for HIM. So, we need to be nice. A few "Thank You!" signs would be in order. Our motivations are clear.

Please don't flip him the bird. If you must, wear a mitton, so your one-fingered salute cannot be photographed. Sing protest songs. Can't photograph what you're singing. I just don't want people hauled into jail for this. If it does get violent, and it happens, old style nonviolence would be good. In the end, this is where we are headed.

I'm really grateful for this. Maybe "No Kings Day" can become a national holiday.

Mittens have one thumb and then a compartment for all four fingers. You could give him the finger all you want in a mitten, and no one would be able to photograph it.

Don't you remember the female bicyclist in Florida who gave rump's motorcade the finger, and I think she had a hassle over it. Rump is mean and vindictive. I'd like nothing better than to see a picture of multitudes of citizens giving rump the finger. How emotionally satisfying would that be! But, I think the soldiers would feel it was for them. And rump would order an investigation. A sign will be more effective.

You get to do what you want. This is just a suggestion! An idea is all.

I wish the lead tank would break down and screw the parade up.

What good would flipping him off in a mitten do though? Is this some kind of ai?

This will be the next thing, having to prove you're not AI. I've been around a while. That's all I can say.

I'm sorry I said anything. It's hard to get along here. I didn't mean to upset anyone. I had a suggestion to help, that's all. Maybe we could appropriate the Canadian "elbows up" instead.

The parade means nothing except the loss of money and destruction of our roads. I am more concerned about the soldiers having to stay in DC to protect rump from the rumble.

Good luck.

or anything you want. I have 2 close-by. Got to check the times again, see if I can hit both.

“King” is just not a very scary sounding word.

and the deportations, the rule of law, federal agencies, tariffs, social security, basic needs...and on and on with no branch of government to hit a pause button. I really like the fact that it isn't centrally located, so many more people can get to a protest without having to plan a long trip. They don't create the buzz of the legacy media but that wouldn't be happening no matter where the geographic location. I know protests are about promoting your cause, but I think in these times, people getting together where they are, sharing their concerns and seeing so many other people with the same concerns is worth way more than media attention. The plethora of signs, the artwork, the individual expressions are stunning. The comradery, and conversation. And, it's safer.

What if we didn't have them? Bless these People who Started This Movement in 2016!

Mahalo, Amaryllis For Your Dedication in and Activism in this Vital Project!

protest and hope it goes well.

I also think that "No King" isn't strong enough, but over the entire Great Protest spectrum, it fits onto signs, is straight to the point, and everybody knows to whom it refers. I think there should be his face in gold with a circle slash on it.

But, when speaking about rump's intentions, I think that "King" is not quite right. He may want the homage due Kings--and the Pope, apparently--the ceremony, etc. but he is turning into a dictator. He's a single man, doesn't come from a royal lineage, and he announced his intention to be a dictator. Moreover, only dictators have welcomed him into the Black Circle, where he studied under their advice. No royal monarchy has done that. I'm not sure where Charles ended up, but he's sick right now, and if something happens, I think William is tough enough.

I have noticed that people strip down the rhetoric, soften the nomenclature, and have fun with the "King" reference. Well, he doesn't aspire to that. He likes gold, family crests, and now a parade in his "honor," like he's worth millions to justify this wasteful parade. But, he's a dark, evil figure nothing like a Monarch of today.

He's not my President. He's not your President. He's not a King, but he is a dictator. He is the same as Hitler was, in the 1930s. All those Republicans helping him will one day be very, very regretful. But, none will care, because we are exhausted with stress and fright, and there is no justification for this.

One other thing: In the end, we will have to deal with the military branches. If this is the anniversary of the Army--I should know, but I don't remember--we should be friendly, some "Thank you, Army!" type signs might be important, because they are ALL HE'S GOT in order to keep his dictatorship. He may have made an outrageous mistake not shaking hands at West Point.

His contempt for the military shines forth, and I guarantee these men and women know the real reason for the parade. They are not stupid. We need to do things that assures the military branches that when push comes to shove--and it will--they belong to us. So, something positive for them is in order.

"No King Day" is important. This is what will get rid of Rump, millions in the streets. It's a big deal. I am so grateful to those who arranged it, and those showing up.

would be to get as many people to go to Washington and jam up the streets to put a physical stop to the whole business.
