“Donald Trump wants tanks in the streets 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.

June 14th is also the U.S. Army’s birthday — a day that marks when Americans first organized to stand up to a king. Trump isn’t honoring that legacy. He’s hijacking it to celebrate himself.

At The Consulate General of the United States on 14th of June, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy actually looks like: people united, refusing to be ruled.

This is bigger than politics. They’ve defied the courts, deported citizens, disappeared people off the streets, attacked people civil rights, slashed essential services, and handed billions to their allies. Enough is enough.”
