The recent protests have drawn hundreds of participants but remain far smaller than other mass demonstrations, including the 2020 protests against police violence that spurred Newsom to request assistance from the National Guard.

    Exactly. Be peaceful above all but now isn’t the time to picket ICE or DHS installations. Make Trump look like the dictator and loser he is by wasting the Guards time. Observation and Reporting should still continue though. Don’t let the controlled and subservient media outlets tell the whole story.

          Businesses probably happy to be losing good employees for days on end to guard our now quiet (and quiet before ICE showed up) streets.

          Is Trump delivering for you as an American? Is this all useful?

      I mean. That sounds like capitulating.

      Protest and make the national guardsman recognize the protestors as the good guys.

      You know the media will just ignore it if things are quiet and no one is there.

        So… everyone who doesn’t risk their lives for a small chance of making a difference is a fascist? Yeah, sure, that checks out. “If you’re not with us then you’re against us” is not and has never been valid logic.
