So there's supposed to be rain on Saturday in Washington, D.C.

It sure would be terrible if a massive lightning strike were to hit Trump's viewing stand. It'd be even worse if he and every toady on the stand got a few thousand volts. I mean, terrible. Probably the single worst thing that could happen, especially if his entire cabinet was there and there were main Fox News personalities "reporting" from the stand.

2. Regarding dc on Saturday ...

No kings has this to say:

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.

3. What better place to have the flagship march?

Our country's birthplace And it starts at LOVE park.

My city. I have to work, but my heart will be there. Make us proud Philly peeps!

4. I'm More Concerned

About the soldiers who are being forced to march in this travesty. If they're caught in a thunderstorm, there will literally be no place to take shelter. People have been struck by lightning on the Mall before.
