Political drama is heating up faster than a Bay Area summer, and President Trump’s ego-fueled military parade is about to get a reality check.

The People’s Protest

This Saturday, while Trump drops a cool $45 million on a birthday parade that screams “compensating for something,” Bay Area activists are turning up the heat with nationwide “No Kings” protests. Nearly 2,000 demonstrations are set to pop off across the country, with San Francisco and Oakland leading the revolutionary charge.

Where the Action’s At

Local rebels have two SF protest spots locked and loaded: Ocean Beach at 10 am and Dolores Park at 11:30 am. With over 80 protests planned in the Bay Area alone, there’s no shortage of opportunities to tell Trump exactly what you think about his taxpayer-funded birthday extravaganza.

Beyond the Parade

Organizers are crystal clear about their message: while millions struggle with basic needs like Social Security and public education, Trump’s dropping millions on a self-congratulatory spectacle. And they’re not just protesting - they’re doing it with style. Boston’s even hosting a “No Kings But Yaaas Queen!” march, proving activism can be both powerful and fabulous.

Remember, democracy isn’t a spectator sport - it’s time to show up, speak out, and make some noise.
