June 14, 2025 is Flag Day, honoring a flag that belongs to We The People, not DJT and MAGA. It is also a day for nationwide mass protests, where we show up and rise up against the fascism of 🍊🤡🧩💩 and his cronies (as I noted in a previous post, I changed my settings so that every time I type his name, it’s automatically replaced with “orange clown piece of shit,” and this makes me extremely happy).
🍊🤡🧩💩 has demanded, and is receiving, a full military parade for his birthday that same day, featuring thousands of soldiers, tanks, and war machines rolling through the streets of our nation’s capital. No, that’s not authoritarian at all.
I hope that everyone reading this is making some sort of plan for June 14, whether it’s:
- showing up in person to a protest march
- volunteering
- donating money to a progressive cause close to your heart
- spreading the word on social media
- talking to others about the state of our democracy
- or simply listening to your own body and anxiety levels, and taking care of yourself in whatever way you need to.
We are planning to attend the Dallas protest. It’s from noon to 2 p.m. at city hall downtown. We would love to meet up with you if you are going to be there. Just shoot me a text or email and let me know. And if you want some signs to print out, NoKings.org has provided a great toolkit and printable posters.
