Tanks in the streets. A $45 million ego trip. And a dangerous slide into authoritarianism. The Big Picture has two must-reads this week, one on Trump’s birthday travesty, and one on how we can stop it. Now’s the time to get informed. buff.ly/DbA0NVk

I'm queer and Métis, an Indigenous group from Canada. I went out with my husband to run an errand last night and he just slides a glance over to me and asks 'so, you know any good thunderstorm dances? Because now's the time. If glitter makes it more powerful, I have a coupon for the craft store' 😂

But it's not a slide into authoritarianism. It's a clearly planned way forward.

We had no tanks in our parade. For absolutely no taxpayer dollars, we had lots of signs, street chalk, bubbles, signs, & flags🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🗽. It was a lot more joyful & engaging than the dreadfully boring ego-rection for the birfday boy. We celebrated life, liberty & happiness, not violence, oppression & fear.

They've budgeted so much money to repair the damage they know the parade will do to the streets. I hope DC is ready for construction traffic.

The 3.5% rule is important, but it must be sustained over days to weeks, and target all parts of the system. Building a community is like fixing a leaky boat. You can't just patch one part of the boat, because water will leak in through the other places. You need to stand back and evaluate all of..

..the leaky places in the boat, and make sure all of them are watertight. Some of them will be. Some of them you'll need to go back and fix a few times. Taking something like a regime apart is the opposite, it's sinking a pirate ship. You assess the whole boat, not just one part. Where are the...

... try to patch one hole, two more spring up. Their resources are finite, and they need food, rest, and relaxation like the rest of us. Don't give it to them. Run them ragged until they make mistakes, and be ready to pounce. If we can put communities together, you can rip 'em apart. 💜

It is just kind of sad watching the anti-communist & anti-Dictators party of Ronald Reagan the GOP (The Hero of the GOP). Now Watch them go all Communist with their parades, Reagan just spinning in his grave.

I can understand the tanks, the 45 million bucks, the lunacy of it all, as Trump is completely insane. What I can't grasp is anyone attending.
