Says who?  

The "No Kings" protest organizers. 

Washington D.C. — No Kings

Quote

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.

also...noted this in the "about" section it says that one of the bigger organizers is the AFT so that's a lot of people who will be out of work most of the summer and ready to rumble. 

AFT President Randi Weingarten

There are roles that Stellan is so perfect  for you can't even imagine anyone else doing them.

You made me do a quick reflection.  Alec Guiness had that.  He played so many different types of roles.  Problematic Arab sultan, Problematic Jewish thief,  rough around the edges Scottish officer, comedic roles, Obi-Wan, Indian Army officer who regrets not having a more meaningful career, butler in silly murder mystery. 

The other actor that comes to mind is Richard Burton in his sober times.  He had a similar seriousness as Stellan.

They've got a No Kings protest in my home town.  It will probably just be three old ladies and couple of hippies with signs, but I'm probably going to drop by on my bike ride to see if it's more than that.

Probably the engineer in me speaking, but rolling M1 Abrams tanks across 8" of asphalt seems monumentally stupid

Ive wondered about this too
