Confronting Trump's July 4 takeover


Tina Hobson, widow of longtime DC activist Julius Hobson, has organized a Sing Along program at Thomas Park, just six blocks from the White House at the same time as the Trump talk. It is supported by her retirement community.  In a printed program of songs, which will be handed out, it says,  "At moments of national stress, music often unites us more profoundly than mere words or images.


Irked by President Donald Trump’s plan to hold his own July Fourth event on the National Mall, veterans plan to give out thousands of USS John S. McCain T-shirts to make the president face a crowd of people honoring the McCain family’s legacy and the idea of putting one’s country before oneself.

Code Pink announced it has obtained the necessary permits from the National Park Service to fly the Baby Trump blimp in DC on July 4.
