Constitution Avenue has been selected as the main route for Trump’s Jun. 14 military parade, so for once “trampling on Constitution” will be more than a metaphor for him.

And we get another Tiananmen Square? An excuse to call for Martial Law?
Imprisoned or, worse yet, dead protesters can't vote.
Protest every other damn day in every state in the nation. Right now, imo, his erectile dysfunction parade needs to be given as little attention as possible.
I can see it both way. My way is based on what I believe is a fact, which is trump has no intention of ever leaving the White House, so we need to act now and not wait. Your way is to turn our backs on him. I don't know what the right answer is.
I get it. We have no experience with situations like this and I'm far more concerned with what his minions will encourage him to do.
Hopefully, whatever we do works.
We make red MAGA hats but make them the reversible hat kind that you can flip over halfway through the parade to say "I VOTED FOR KAMALA" or "TRUMP IS A NAZI" and have it be a blue color.
Is that a “no trucks” bridge? Regardless, there’s gotta be load restrictions that might be challenged by dozens of tanks trying to cross. Would be quite something for a major infrastructure failure to occur at a most (in)opportune time. “Tanks in the Potomac!”
It’s trumps fucking birthday. Don’t anyone for a second pretend that this is anything but a fascist circus parade being put on for this asshole who wishes he was a king.
Just realized, they have accounted for the tanks/track vehicles. They will be brought over from a different bridge and left in front of the Lincoln Memorial. They will join the parade there. So just going to ruin the streets to the Lincoln memorial and then down Constitution Ave.
They don't even allow school buses, transit buses or tour buses on this bridge. The tanks are going to end up in the drink and the notoriously bad Washington DC traffic will be worse for years. WINNING!
Hey, structural engineers, are the streets and bridge, along with the adjoining properties, on the charade route meant to withstand the gross weight of this many military vehicles moving across it and standing still for any given time?
Absolutely shameful! They’re cutting Medicaid and USAid, etc., and firing thousands of public workers in an attempt to save $$$. And yet this ridiculous Putinesque parade that will cost millions. Not to mention the millions to cart his fat orange ass around to his private clubs to play golf.
If I were in this military I'd quit, even if it meant a dishonorable discharge or time in jail, especially if I were ordered to be part of a Nazi-ass parade for our orange fuhrer. Anyone willing to take part of this is unAmerican jackboot scum showing they'll follow even worse orders in the future.
Frankly, I thought he would stroke out at any moment during the campaign and never make it into the WH. Something evil is keeping that bloated husk alive.
Don’t you get it?
He lies about everything it’s the way he confuses the world so he can flood the zone so no one can differentiate what’s the truth. Thats how democracy’s falll
2025 manifesto from the White Christian Nationalists has it all mapped out.
Trump is staying out of jail and Jesus lives ✝️
Trump is losing it. He can't even lie anymore or deflect.
He's finally saying, "I don't know."
Flooding the zone is a euphemism for what is happening. It's much worse than that. Most of the useful and responsible government workforce has been let go.
So either the crowds are embarrassingly small or there's a mass protest blocking their path? Though I suspect he'd use military force on a protest here. Probably gonna be a bad day.
Congress needs to step up & STOP this wa$teful parade for the world's biggest narcissist - a failed businessman, criminal con man, unhinged lunatic, sexual predator, FELON.
Call your members of Congress today!

Let Trump ride a tank across the Potomac. No matter what bridge he takes, he will end up at the bottom of the river. Guess he should have had that Infrastructure Week he always promised but never delivered.
Why is he getting a parade? Did any other president do this? I am so fucking sick of this idiot narcissist spending money that could be making society better for ALL on HIS fat spoiled bloated greedy ass. As if he deserved it. As if we should all bow down and be thankful for his existence. Sick.
Folks could go, just stand there, on the route - no cheers/boos/signs.
Just *silence*.
Either that or attend the actual June 14th People's Marches where we peacefully/forcefully/in great numbers protest.
And leave the Trumpoid Parade with itty-bitty teeny-weeny very small... "crowds" 😉.
Logical dispersal route for tanks/heavy weapons would be across 14th St/395. That route & off-ramp to Pentagon would be difficult. Of course this guy & logic are an oxymoron.
So 6/14 is Boy George's birthday, but celebrating would bring undeserved maga hate on him, but it is also Harriet Beecher Stowes and the birth of the Continental Revolutionary army. Let's counter celebrate that
I did the same. But it seems there are just too many selfish, fearful, stupid, evil people who enjoy brainwashing themselves into even further stupidity and evil in this country. I blame the internet. My parents blamed TV. My grandparents - radio...
I think you and I know people like that. But it seems it used to be 5 or 10% in the lunatic fringe. With this Trump cult of personality, it's a lot more... 30% seems pretty close.
I cannot believe his poll numbers are not 90% disapproval now, but give it a few more months...
Give it time, the orange antichrist/hitler incarnate is tanking faster than the tesla’s he was trying to promote and i’m down for it. I feel like we’re looking at a civil war or a revolution and i can feel it coming. My dad lived in Germany during hitlers reign so i know all about it
Every time i hear lunatic fringe i know you’re out there i think of myself lol. I know all these rich billionaires are assholes, but hope springs eternal. I’m not holding my breath though. I haven’t listened to the link yet but i will soon 🔜. I’m boycotting everything to do with these subhumans
@youranoncentral.bsky.social @lulz-security.bsky.social and other hacker types - President Trump's Birthday Military Parade will be on June 14. Fox News is likely to have a bigger audience than the Superbowl. The video feed for OAN is also likely to be all over former Voice of America channels.
You know the time. You know the place. You know they'll be distracted and vulnerable. This will be an optimal target to send a message of resistance to Trump. Tell the truth to the most people that haven't been paying attention. PLUS it would embarrass Trump. Anonymous, this is your mission.
Do maga voters understand that their tax dollars are paying for this offensive nonsense? Higher prices for consumers, but there is money for a fascist’s parade?
On this day be like KDOT! TURN THE TV OFF! Make this the least watch dumb ass spectacle on Television! Mofo done caused a recession and we supposed to celebrate, When I can barely afford to eat! TF!
We are in a recession and this Mofo spends tax payer dollars in a military parade and spends millions golfing and we the American ppl are supposed to be ok with this? FOH
Fewer dolls& pencils, less $ for small business, Americans spending more on every day goods, firing scientists, &this narcissist has to emulate Putin w/his own military parade. What a gross display; where is DOGE? Leon could actually cut this waste.
Please do not go to the parade route to protest. They will use it as a way to incite violence and then criminalize protests via Executive Order. We can better stand against this by staying peaceful and protesting loudly in favor of the Constitution, due process and No Kings elsewhere.
That Dystopian person, and others like them, are playing right into Trump's hands.
Letting Trump and his lawless criminal oligarchy completely paralyze ordinary citizens with fear of what *could* happen is the equivalent of obeying in advance.
The original message I was replying to wasn't about people not being physically able to protest, it was about people being too paralyzed by fear of what Trump might do to take action.
So maybe consider the context of my response and the point I was actually making.
I did not suggest that people not protest. I suggested not playing into Trump's hands and doing it elsewhere in a peaceful, coordinated movement - which is what the Indivisible protests will do that day. I am out protesting every week, sometimes multiple times. Don't talk to me about compliance.
The very fact that you claim that an executive order can "criminalize" protests is a red flag. Executive orders are recommendations about how laws are to be executed. They cannot and do not create new law.
To be clear - I do not agree that any such order would be legal, but legality hasn't had anything to do with what this idiot does. I don't want a fight with you. We are on the same side, just with different opinions of what will be effective in getting rid of this slime - and all opinions matter.
What I would absolutely LOVE would be the TOTAL ABSENCE of spectators the entire route of the parade. Not a soul in sight. That would totally do him in.
This is actually why I wanted to do a "Save the Constitution Day" protest instead of something that protested Trump. It would kill him to be ignored. But I will participate in "No Kings Day" - so long as it stays away from the parade route.
That's naive; they will criminalize protests via executive order ANYWAY.
This idea that if only we stay peaceful and compliant they'll be prevented from doing bad things because they'll have no excuse, is just unrealistic, I'm afraid.
Go to one of the No Kings protests being planned all over the country. Don't protest at his parade. Just don't go. Let it all happen on empty streets. You know how much he cares about crowd size!
DC dog owners, now you have a route to allow your pups to express their disgust with stinky treasonous Trump by defecating and pissing all along the way. And don’t clean up after your dog!
We, as American patriots who see no good reason to waste $90 million on a deranged egomaniac's birthday, MUST STOP his fantasy tyrant's parade before it begins.
Securing safe housing for tens of thousands of American families now living on the streets would be a far better use of the same money. 🤨
Even if the tanks are only on roads, their treads will chew up the roadbed.
But what about the old (19th cent., I think) utility tunnels *under* the roads? I suspect water mains will break, power will go out, & lots of very expensive-to-fix damage will get done.
trump is going to ignore his bad polling and go through with his parade it seems. Surely the American people can trash him so much beforehand that it comes off as a an unappealing example of waste, fraud and abuse.
Your comment would have landed much harder if you’d declared YOU have the guts to do what Tank Man did. Otherwise it sounds like you plan to be on your couch watching on TV hoping that someone ELSE has the guts.
Maybe you ever consider that people openly declaring they intend to commit crimes is a good way to have government thugs knocking on their doors in the middle of the night?
Maybe I will be there. Maybe I won’t. I don’t need Kash Patel knowing that.
Yeah, they were all shot in China too. Hence the name "Tiananmen Square Massacre".
But, it went on to galvanize pro-democracy movements worldwide, led nations to reevaluate their relations with autocratic states in a global shift, and became an enduring symbol of resistance.
Your bio on your anonymous account says you’re willing to take to the streets. Surely you’re capable of standing in front of a tank if you believe that would be effective. So why aren’t you doing that, rather than requesting volunteers for others to get murdered for you?
You didn’t say, I plan to stand in front of a row of tanks; anyone want to join me?” You said, “Come on Americans. Is there one of you who has the guts that this lone man in Tiananmen Square had?” So are you saying you are or are not planning to stand in front of a tank during the parade?
Well No 💩 Sherlock? You can go right on ahead... — The rest of the country has been getting shot at this whole damn time y'all #Normalized a 400 year #Genocide & most never gave a 💩 til now. #NativeSky #LatinSky #BlackSky #MMIW #MMIM #MMIP 👈🏽 ALL of these folks are Native & we're tired.
You're the one suggesting that people get up there to be shot at .. So that's you, & and anyone else who thinks that's a good idea. 👈🏽 It's like saying, go stand before the firing squad.
To anyone who’s tempted to watch this video: save your time. It is true that a massacre did not happen literally in TAM Square. A massacre DID happen outside the Square, predominantly in the street to the west. China’s propagandists are using the first fact to deny the second. Don’t be fooled.
Actually there's a lot of debate over the number of protesters who were killed, with some sources claiming it was very few. Tank man himself was never even arrested, let alone shot or run over, according to multiple sources. The only people who insist he was killed are like, former Nixon aides
🐂💩. You go on right ahead & be the stupid idiot who COMMITS A FEDERAL CRIME. You'll be dead in a second. That'll make Tronald Dump extremely happy. He'll be bragging for months. 😒 #Block
Wrong. It's a FELONY. There is NO self defense in that scenario. People get Felony Murder charges for defending themselves in their own homes when the Government breaks in. Stop telling people to commit suicide.
I hope the population of America 🇺🇸 comes out for this and stands in front of every tank.
This display is going to cost 100 million dollars or more of taxpayers money and it’s already cost 300 million for all his golf weekends
What’s next, at trip on a rocket?🚀
Hopefully he’s sent to mars
Will our veterans and military stand against this disrespect of our country for those who served and are serving proudly to defend this country against this domestic terrorist?
It seems odd to start a parade relatively late in the day (6:00 pm), especially if it’s intended for families. But I know it’s intended for an audience of one.
How are they going to get the tanks and fancy equipment to the Pentagon to begin with? It's not like that stuff is just sitting around DC waiting for the day.
Is the Arlington Bridge qualified for the weight it will have to bear? It's an old bridge, built late 1920s. In 2015 the weight limit was REDUCED to 10 tons and SCHOOL BUSES prohibited from using it due to its insecurity. And we're putting tanks, rockets, etc. on it? SERIOUSLY????
I suppose we'll see but it wouldn't surprise me if they pre-position the heavy stuff like tanks, etc., after the east end of the bridge and have them join the parade route there; really all that actually matters is they roll by Trump's reviewing stand
They still have to get the hardware there from outside DC which means crossing the Potomac at some point I think, and not sure the other bridges are in much better shape. Would royally tie up the Beltway, wouldn't it?
TBH, I honest I hope its not. I hope as the military drives over, the bridge collapses. I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I want to embarass DUMP as much as possible.
If there were a way to automate the drives, I'd agree, but I sure don't want enlisted folks hurt, and they would be. This is gross. Otherwise sure! "Look, Ma - Trump busted the bridge!"
I did my duty and notified Rep. Smith and Sen. Reed, ranking members of House and Senate Armed Forces to warn them this bridge is a DANGER to our service members. If SCHOOL BUSES are banned due to safety concerns, so should military hardware be barred. 🤞
Those roads will be destroyed by that parade if they're going to have heavy tanks.... anyone normally using those roads will have to find alternative routes after they chew up the roads
What is up with that map and the tiny District of Columbia shape on the lower right hand side? Probably an indication of another sinister move in the future…🙄
If you compare a map of the whole of DC and that small shape you can see that they are the same, but a different size, shape.
Now if you look at the small rectangle overlapping the edge of the shape you can see it has the same proportions as the main map.
The little rectangle tells you that
the main map covers from outside DC with the pentagon, over the border on the west bank of the river, and continues west into DC. It also shows that, as you say, DC continues south, west and north of the main map, but is not shown in detail.
It's called an inset map, or sometimes a locator map.
How about one giant NO KINGS dance party in the Mall. No lining the parade route. Everyone gather a couple miles away from the tanks. One big #Pride bash. Everyone get weird and be happy. Not even anti-Trump don’t breathe his name into the oxygen
In addition to the grotesque 'military dictatorship' display, how many years of the lifespan of that bridge do you think the military parade will reduce? The streets of DC aren't made to take heavy vehicles. Such a public display & disregard of our precious tax $s.
In a made for TV thriller! Will we have an Uncle Sam balloon like the Garfield balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? Flower decked floats like the Rose Parade in Pasadena? Or rubber duckies on the Potomac?

Also I think no one should show up so I’m still workshopping ideas
Besides, the color matches his face color.

God willing they’re all going to jail
I hope 1 million of us met at the Lincoln Memorial and bottleneck the shit out of the parade route.

Someone better have a whole lot of disaster recovery units nearby when that very old bridge collapses.

Please plan your route accordingly.

This is going to be a shitshow. (deservedly so)
He's using the army as an excuse this time, but we all fucking know it's for his bloated ego to have a giant military parade on his fucking birthday.
Just *silence*.

If there is still a benevolent God, we should have torrential rain that day.
Sic temper tytrumpus.

It's a massive waste of money.
I hope no one attends it.

This was the parade for Hitler's 50th birthday, down the Unter den Linden in Berlin
How can we replace their pompous visual with one of our disgust?
Not go?
Line the streets with protestors (signs and T-shirts)?
Watch silently as the tanks roll by? Turn our backs on the tanks?

I feel sorry for soldiers being used in this way. I'm a vet myself.
May they break formation and retreat to avoid the rotten eggs and tomatoes thrown at them in this parade.
