"Donald Trump's less than subtle commandeering of the Army's 250th anniversary celebration was an obnoxious, high security spectacle of absurd self-gratification."

"Instead of allowing citizens to get educated about the role the armed services played in the founding of the country, and its current function, the National Mall was covered in the same high fencing used to secure the Capitol after the January 6th insurrection so helicopters and APCs and various small arms could be staged for photo ops."

11,000,000+ for No Kings

10,000 for the Fash Parade

The media would have us think Fascism is inevitable, they are wrong.

@Nonilex That federal building complex was on the way to the main LA city hall gathering. It was surrounded by national guard armed with rifles, and that was the first sign of "crowd control" we saw in the morning.

Rifles for protecting a building from protestors? Fairly disturbing.

The military leaders made choices in how they performed in their parade yesterday.

Every choice sent a message.

I'm glad they made it low key and educational, instead of an over-the-top production.

It could have been a lot more propagandistic, like the parade below.

It reassures me.

Millions protest against Donald #Trump across the US. In #LosAngeles and #Portland (pictured), the police were rioting. And then the Democrats wonder why certain voters can't tell them apart from #Trump. https://www.irishtimes.com/world/us/2025/06/15/millions-protest-against-donald-trump-across-the-united-states/ #NoKings

I seem to recall video of the exact same way Germans handle Nazis showing up.

They drown them out with something nice.

@pluralistic thanks, I saw this on the live stream yesterday but couldn't tell what was happening. I love how he obviously couldn't hear. The protests definitely need more brass.

Check out this video from about 1:15 on, as a brass band play the leftist anthem "Bella Ciao" to drown out #ProudBoy neo-Nazis who showed up at a #NoKings rally in Atlanta yesterday. Not only is it incredibly heartening, but the band SLAPS.

Another convenient thing about the hypothesis that it was intentional bad marching is that once it gets to be more than a couple people, it's very hard to single out which specific people are the ones out of step since everyone guides off of others.

@finner @evan (I'm no exception. I want to believe it too! Both for personal/political reasons, and also because it would vindicate speculation that technical fraud is in US possible in practice. So I have to be doubly careful to not fool myself with ghosts in the data.)

Here's an interesting chart (form @adamtooze chartbook blog) which identifies where CEOs of global corporations come from (their previous jobs); so if you needed some (more) evidence on the cultural shape of the global economic elite this is going to be some help.

So, if you wondered why so many global corporations seem to adopt a similar strategic playbook, the role of consultancies in shaping CEOs outlook, looks like a good bet.

Palantir were one of the most prominent sponsors of Trump’s parade.

And “around a quarter of Palantir’s global workforce are now based in London, helping the government on policing, military contracts – and, crucially, working deep inside the NHS”.

Mandelson, the UK Ambassador in Washington has “long been a vocal supporter of Palantir”

I have these two sentences stuck in my head these days:

A French minister: we need to prepare ourselves for a future when temperatures are 4°C higher.

A climate scientist: with a rise of 4°C above pre-industrial age, up to 90% of the world's population may die.
