1,400 Protests Scheduled To Rain On Trump's Authoritarian Birthday Parade and More Bad News For Him

Scott Dworkin

Before we start another week of Trump’s burning dumpster fire on wheels disguised as a clown car, I'm happy have another edition of Great News for you. Let’s get to it.

The next big round of protests is set for June 14th—Trump’s birthday—with more than 1,400 events scheduled nationwide. As you may have heard, Trump plans to celebrate his birthday by throwing an authoritarian military parade in DC, which could cost upwards of $45 million.

It’s shaping up to be the largest day of protests this year—by far. So if you’re able, please show up to these peaceful gatherings and speak out against Trump’s tyranny. If you can’t make it, please promote the events on social media, and do what you can to help spread the word.

This weekend, demonstrations continued in at least a dozen cities against Avelo Airlines, calling out their contract with ICE to facilitate “deportations.” Any company profiting off of the Trump regime should be driven into bankruptcy.

I go to the "map" in the top left corner for the numbers. I figured it is 1,700!!! WOW!!!
I knew this would become enormous. People are really pissed off with ICE and that is just one of the issues, there are the tariffs/increased prices, cut to social security and healthcare. Even the senior citizens who are tRump constituents are finally getting pissed off since it hurts them and that is their only interest.
