There were Hands Off rallies in April in Ottawa at the US Embassy.

Peaceful, sincere, heartfelt PRAYER Rallies are the missing link.

God is your Superpower 🕊️

Loud strident voices are not cutting it.

Consider HYMNS.

IMAGINE!

Holding hands, united, singing; ‘Amazing Grace’ (often interpreted as a statement about breaking the chains of injustice).

Counter the tyranny of White House evangelical prayer that despises mercy, peace and justice, that is not Christlike.

Prayer doesn’t work. Perhaps it makes the believer feel better (in the same way that meditation or deep thought would), but prayer doesn’t actually affect the external world. Not only is it ineffective, but it is also a very narcissistic practice… why would a 'God' change its 'Divine Plan' to accommodate any person’s wishes?

You should handle solo personal protest protocol as YOU prefer.

Honor organized protest protocols as the sponsor requires.

All protests must be non-violent, however, as the saying goes:

“You do You, I’ll do Me”.

We MUST ignore Trump’s parade and birthday. He’ll feed off protests. Ignoring him is the only thing he deserves - no acknowledgement, no attention for the would-be dictator king. IGNORE HIM on his birthday! !

Hopefully over a million people will show up in DC to block the path of the parade. Would it not be nice to see it stopped in its tracks before it gets ten feet down the street.

I wish they could block that narcissistic, self serving display. His birthday should be a dark mark in our history. I’m sorry for anyone else with this birthday!

And it’s Flag Day! He hijacked the Army’s anniversary celebration to make the day about himself. Typical narcissist

I would hold a parade to celebrate his “death day”

Why the military can’t say “no” to a dictator and tyrant. I know they can refuse an illegal order.

There is no doubt the parade route will be cleared in plenty of time. Anyone that gets in the way will be arrested.

Jim Sullivan's avatar

That is exactly what he would like to see, people arrested giving him a chance to use military force on the American people.

Protest but protest peacefully and Stay Safe.

Can I nominate “No Kings No More” as the anthem for #NoKingsDay? https://youtu.be/x2X1BEezz7g?feature=shared

Great concept, but I listened to it and for me anyway it’s not easily singable (pitch range is okay but the rhythm was tricky for me, being totally not a music expert). Do you have any ideas for other songs that we could belt out at protests?

Zombies, “Tell Her (Him) No”; Alice Cooper, “No More Mr. Nice Guy”; Beatles “No Reply.” Or maybe some from a much earlier era, like “No No Nanette.” (That would take a more thorough Google search).

Thanks! I’ll take a listen to all three. And I’ll try a Google search using qualifiers such as “anti-tyranny protest songs.” Maybe something perfect will pop up. If you pen one of your own, please drop me a note.

Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

Yes so true. Alas for me I am not near one nor will my health allow the trip. But a great idea which I will post on local FB.

Sustained protests with independent media coverage, corporate media if they ever decide to step up… Can accelerate the collapse of Trump‘s credibility.

Especially:

- Corporate media… stop normalizing his lies.

- Legal/financial pressures escalate. Supreme Court, do your job against tyranny.

- International leaders treat him as a pariah…. Speak up and speak out…(which has begun to happen ).

Keep pushing and keep moving forward.

it has negative effects on Trump mental stability..

Assuming all dems and the 2 independents all opposed the bill, it will take at least 4 repub senators to oppose it, otherwise, for the first time in the history of the USA, there WILL be a King

You know that Trump will make it look like we're protesting against the troops and not him

Somehow he will twist the surround to make it look like we're against our troops because he's good at that
