"No Kings": 1,800+ Rallies Planned as Trump Threatens "Very Heavy Force" on Army Parade Protesters

[Uncle Joe]

A nationwide "No Kings" movement plans to hold over 1,800 anti-Trump rallies across the United States on June 14, the same day as President Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., as he celebrates his 79th birthday. Organizers are protesting President Trump's mass deportations, militarized crackdown against protesters, defiance of court orders, and attacks on civil rights. "We're going to show him on June 14 that real power lies in the people," says Leah Greenberg⁠, co-founder and co-executive director of ⁠Indivisible. Tanks and other armored vehicles are being transported to Washington, D.C., for the parade, which Marine Corps veteran JoJo Sweatt calls an "egregious overspend." President Trump threatened heavy force would be used on anyone who protests at the parade in D.C.

He will not tolerate Americans having any power.

3. Ultimately, he won't have any choice.

It's only a question of how painful the transition will be.

4. Either Americans or Trump will have a very steep learning curve.

We don't know which one yet.

but I have more faith in the American Peoples' ability to learn.
