Constitution Avenue has been selected as the main route for Trump’s Jun. 14 military parade, so for once “trampling on Constitution” will be more than a metaphor for him.
Here's what we know about Trump's June 14 D.C. military parade
From the route to the music, permit applications give us a glimpse into the spectacle.

I got lots of advice, some very specific. But one thing I heard again and again: America, you are running out of time.

Here is what I learned:

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.

The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history.

The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists.

Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

Most Americans cannot comprehend what is happening because it’s the opposite of what they’ve ever experienced in the US. They assume they’re aren’t happening because the system will protect them.

The system is being dismantled.

By the time they realize, it will be too late.

i have too much work to do today to ruminate on the fact that four years ago, i covered the riot at the capitol in disguise because proud boys had circulated my picture with instructions to attack me on sight & now they’re all about to get pardons.

Four years ago insurrectionists incited by Donald Trump attacked the seat of American democracy in an attempt to overturn an election.

Many seek to erase this event from history, but they will fail. We honor the officers who protected the Capitol, some of whom are no longer with us.
