The protests are typical lib stuff. There are no plans at all to actually do anything or even make demands.

'We Don't Do Kings': Mass Protests Planned to Counter Trump's Birthday Military Parade

"Donald Trump does not own the flag. He does not own patriotism. In fact, we can all show up in opposition to a king in this country."

The event's website says the goal of the mass demonstrations is to show that "from city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism."

I'd be amazed if the libs even used the words "direct action". It's such problem even in theory because it involves the pesky word "action".

They’ll probably eventually co-opt the term “direct action” to mean non-violent protests cleared ahead of time with the proper authorities.

Oh, god. I didn't even think of that. And they'll give it a horrible name like "good trouble action." Bluesky libs love the phrase "good trouble" due to its association with John Lewis who in my opinion they treat like a Vote! patron saint.
