Doing anything special on Saturday, June 14? Maybe you're weeding your garden, planning to get the car washed, or applying for political asylum to Canada? Those are all worthwhile endeavors — but if you're not busy, you could attend a "No Kings" event near you.
June 14 is Flag Day, the anniversary of the founding of the US Army, and, coincidentally, Benedict Donald's 79th birthday. (We're still waiting for the media to freak out over his age the way they did over Biden's.) Trump is making the military "celebrate" by rolling tanks through the streets of Washington, Kim Jong Un-style. Not only did we never think we'd see it, but officials estimate that the parade will cause $16 million in damage to DC's streets. Incredible. Appalling. Un-American.
But there's hope: Anti-Trump forces throughout the country are organizing counter-protests against the parade and every outrage that Trump and his minions are inflicting on the United States. The idea is not to try to go to Washington (which could be kind of dicey), but instead to flood the zone with too many events across the nation to count. It's easy to find out what's happening in your community, and to download materials to help spread the word. Just click here.
If millions of us turn out to show Donald that we hate him and everything he stands for, it could take away media coverage and spoil his Very Special Day. And the special mass that Pope Leo is holding that day at Chicago's Rate Field — home of the White Sox — will pull attention away, too. This pontiff is tops with us so far. We cats PURR.
