I think you know what I mean. Don't do anything to provoke them. You're there to protest; carry signs, chant, march, yell, use megaphones & props. Flipping a bird or two, LOL. But rocks, bottles, and physical altercations, no.
Stay peaceful, they're looking for a reason to declare Martial Law.

I watched a couple of hours of the protest in LA on Wednesday afternoon, streaming on YouTube with a chat box.
There was chanting and some yelling at the officials, but it remained peaceful.
Meanwhile, tons of MAGAts in the chat were calling it a riot. It was not. Do they expect silent protests?

I want to extend my sincere envy. It's been shorts weather here since late February and will continue through the end of October...with a few months of better off nude or indoors thrown in.

This is rather like climate deniers arguing that the climate has always changed. Yes, it has. They are, of course, ignoring that pre-anthropogenic climate change takes place over thousands, or tens of thousands of years.
Democrats are NOT the same as Republicans.

Hopefully, the Denver mayor means to keep it peaceful. If so, I'm with him.

They're scared. We're not.

People at each protest should record video and share it on YouTube and other social media platforms as soon as possible afterward. I plan to do my part.

Check. I'd still rather his party was sparsely populated. And if I get my wish, a huge counter-protest might seem weird. Faux News would love it, though.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the No Kings protests are not happening simultaneously with Trump's birthday party.

Really hoping attendance is a repeat of his 2017 parade

Distributed protests are better, imo. 2,000 protests all across the nation, without the need for a million-plus people to travel cross-country, which is a horrible thing environmentally. And would probably exclude most of the willing participants. I couldn't possibly travel to DC.

There won't be much split-screen, at least not in real-time. Most protests occur from late morning to early afternoon. His birthday bash is in the early evening.
I would have preferred that they were simultaneous, like the hostage release and the first Reagan inauguration.

Nobody believed us when we warned them RFK Jr.’s endgame is to eliminate all vaccines. They told us we were histrionic and hysterical. I’ve been watching RFK Jr. for 20 years. He’s antivax to the core. He really means it, and NOTHING will change his mind. He will do all he can to eliminate vaccines.

I'm hoping the turnout is pitiful, so I can then hear Karoline Leavitt lie to the world that there were a million in attendance, displaying a poster-sized photoshopped picture as proof.

I can smell the stench if he's within ten miles of me.

Not our EPA, the Trump EPA.
Aka, the Environmental Plundering Agency.
This push for fossil fuels, especially coal, is deplorable and wholly unnecessary.

I want to make one correction.
This isn't our EPA; it's the Trump EPA.
It is a perversion of OUR EPA.

The problem for them is that the police are armed and will return fire. School kids are a lot more safe.

She is a Christofascist, and wears it to appeal to the Cristofascists who voted for her boss.

Thanks. That makes sense, I HOPE, with reservations.

It seems odd to draw attention to your canned laugh track.
Yep, that's my takeaway.

I hope he IS expecting a 'huge' turnout and that it doesn't materialize.
Oh, and about the media, you know darn well they will cover it. But the counter-protest of NO KINGS will be massive enough to steal some of his glory from the media. :-)

Wouldn't it be great if, instead of DC residents protesting, they participated in nearby No KINGS protests, and there was then an embarrassing, visually low turnout for his MAGA parade? I'd love it!

I hope she didn't hit any reporters with those dangerous projectiles.

In addition to Denver, there have been ICE Out protests in a fair number of other cities today; Chicago, New York, New Orleans, and Atlanta among them. It's fair to assume this list is incomplete.
