  8. When I lived in #Indonesia I took pictures of the #IndependanceDay #Parades.

    One feature of every ceremony is: #Paskibraka: Highschool Students that march and raise the flag.

    They did the technical execution of #marching better than the American soldiers at the #Trump #Parade. (Pictures from 2013 #Bandung)

  9. I had forgotten that during Trump's last term I opened a Parades subreddit for people to discuss #Parades

    reddit.com/r/parades

    I am curious how people felt Trumps Military #parade went? I been trying to track turnout for various recent events.

  10. "Around 7 p.m., the big screens onstage that displayed the American flags turned to logos for UFC, the mixed martial arts business. Later, the MC thanked “special sponsor #Palantir,” a contractor hired to help #Trump compile data on Americans across federal agencies.

    The made-for-TV military parade looked expensive — but not necessarily impressive. Meanwhile, millions of people reportedly participated in #NoKings #parades Saturday across the country."

    rollingstone.com/politics/poli

  11. Such #parades used to be the hallmark of the #USSR and all other #tinpot #dictatorships around the world. What a twist of fate! And what a #waste. The same that the #criminals of #DOGE were supposed to expose! How much would be spent to organize this? And then to repair the #damage to the roads?

    This rerouting of the march is not an abuse of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.

    As Sinn Fein said in their 1996 submission to the review on parades in Northern Ireland

    >> The right to march is a democratic right. It is fundamental to the civil and human rights of all citizens.

    The right to march involves freedom of assembly and freedom of political expression.

    The right to march is not absolute, it is a right which carries responsibilities; it is a right which must not be misused.

    In any society, especially a divided society, the right to march must be exercised with due regard for the rights of others. <<

    The right of the PSC to march is an important right that must be upheld, even though those marches' expression of hatred for Israel and its people is repugnant and militates against a political settlement that respects the legitimate rights of both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.

    Nevertheless, the exercise of this right must be balanced against the right of Jews to practice their religion free from intimidation and disruption.

    Rerouting the march achieves this balance.
