‘No Kings’ protest cities
So ... like all the cities?
ICE doesn't have enough people to intimidate a single blue city, let alone the country. They can't even operate in Los Angeles without the backup of a small number of National Guard and Marines and they're doing that illegal action over the governor's explicit objections.
ICE are a bunch of cowards, doing safe, comfortable hits in suburbs and on people who are complying with the law. (Immigration hearings and workplaces.)
When I saw the pictures of the protests in multiple cities, I realized that ICE, law enforcement, and the military don't stand a chance. They might be able to wipe out one protest, maybe even 2 or 3, but they could never get them all, and it's likely they'd be spread so thin, they couldn't significantly impact any of them.
They have to be looking at the sizes of those protests, and getting worried. And they know there are plenty more at home. All they have is intimidation, the fear of violence, but now they know they are badly outnumbered, and the people know it, too.
Crackdowns on these cities is a sign of panic, and panic is very dangerous. Stay alert, Patriots.
I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day
Oh, how subtle. If you're not cheering ICE on, you're not a REAL American. So you should be deported too!
We’re already expecting the spite, personal attacks … even smaller places. My town is still pissed off from the last few weeks
- masked thugs kidnapped a guy off the street and left his kid abandoned on the sidewalk (neighbors got him home)
- other masked thugs roughed up and arrested a city councilor exercising his right to take videos from an appropriate distance
I screamed "No ICE in Wichita" for 4 hours, and Im willing to continue that stance with a bat.
I saw someone with the classic John f Kennedy quote "those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable" on a sign that was taped to a classic wooden bat. Probably my favor sign I've seen yet.
"Move ice! Get out the way! Get out the way ice, get out the way!"
The "move" part hits pretty hard when you got thousands of people hitting it together. That one was my favorite.
Keep sharing this, The Tramp's grandfather was an immigrant from Germany, fleeing mandatory conscription to the army. Due to this, he was banned from the German Empire.

Weren't the protests in pretty much every city in the country?
The best I saw reporting in was a town of 800 in deep red Trump country with a turnout of 400. Wish I could remember the town. Faiy certain it was a rey on Lemmy but may have been bluesky.
175 people showed up in Pulaski, TN. I live about an hour from there. That's where the KKK was founded. Deep as red gets (At least in my experience)
No one in OK is tearing down my “Defund ICE” signs.
Are they literate enough to tell "Defund" from "Defend"?
Possibility. The pro-trans messaging I leave often gets a fairly violent reaction. Someone destroyed a Dollar Tree bathroom over a couple of stickers I left behind once.
I wish I could do this, but despite being a citizen, I am not white, and worry it'd put a target on my back.
About 2100 locations, per Indivisible. So yeah, ICE gonna be spread thin, I guess.
IMO, the next "No Kings" protest should be "No Kings II" and then the next III and so on. It's such a perfect name that we should keep it.
Right?? The official logo on the site is amazing as well. I want a decal of it for my car tbh. Everything about this movement is so well put together
It also needs to stay on focus without devolving into a catch-all for every liberal agenda item. No Palestine, no LGBT+, just presidential overreach. Otherwise participation gets limited and we lose the needed numbers.
Every single thing you mentioned was there at that march. That's why it was so successful, because everyone who is pissed off felt welcome.
yeah! just the topic at hand! you’re not allowed to feel angry about a specific way in which it has personally harmed you! only the things i care about are valid!
Just the opposite. This cause brought a significant amount of Republicans out to the protest line. The ones that truly believe in small government. With numbers comes attention.
If we protest everything, then only those who agree with all of it will come out. Intersectionality only limits the audience.
That is one of the reasons why Occupy failed -they tried to protest everything at once. Capitalism, Police overreach, Homelessness, etc.
In which elementary grade you are and hasn't ChatGPT explain you already what a protest is?
Yeah, I think it took at least 4 or 5 well-named peaceful protests to stop the Nazis, so you’re right on track.
I hate this criticism so much. You want others to start an armed revolution that you won't.
It's peak arm chair hypocrisy
Absolutely this. Nothing more craven than asking others to kill on your behalf.
Fix your own country. We've been telling you for decades this was going to happen.
Right so you think you have the moral imperative to tell me to risk my life to change the government in a country you don't even live in?
Fine, don't. No doubt you've done absolutely all you can. Have a seat, relax. Someone will be along to save you, I'm sure. Probably.
If you're comparing this to the Nazis, you'd better be prepping for what happened in WWII. Except that America and Russia are going to be the Axis this time.
Please. Send them here. In clearly labeled vehicles. With nice uniforms that have large letters.
We'd like to see their faces too.
Otherwise how we supposed to know they're not reich-wing political assassins or cartel gang members in disguise? They could fake their ID and warrants as well, better just capture them and work it all out in court, in front of a judge. Which is better than they're offering, or deserve
There's that word again. Remigration.
But don't you remember that time Biden said, "I want double, triple vaccinations in red states! They'll pay for calling COVID 'the flu'!" /s
Shouldn't he be focused on the G7?
Trump already left G7 to supposedly "focus on the escalating Israeli-Iran conflict."
That's not the reason why he left. He's leaving early because he tried to hijack the G7 conference with his usual, personal grievance bullshit and to make the entire conference all about HIM, like he always does. But they weren't having it and they told him to go home and get his f*cking shine box. So now, he's leaving in a huff because they hurt his childish, rodentine feelings.
Stop payment of federal taxes
So all of them?
How is this man our president
Broken election system that let's the PACs and the rich control it. Ban PAC donations and limit campaign funding.
We're an empire in decline. I imagine we'd probably feel quite a deal of spiritual kinship with Romans living under Nero or Caligula
Gonna be fun when they run outta money. Are those racist fucks gonna work without pay?
