It's gonna get there. I remember the Chicago 7, Abbie Hoffman, The Weathermen. Kent State. I think it's coming. College students led the charge back then. Now we are old, but still willing to fight. It's coming.
Align yourselves with powerful organizations that are fighting back. Bernie Sanders has begun a separate investigation. Now the FBIs' James Dennehy. https://bit.ly/4hIrfdU
Because they don’t have the money to fly around. And it’s all about getting attention. We must disrupt everywhere. This is war. They have given us no other choice.
You don’t need to go to another state to find a red district. Go take a bus. Go to governor home, go to your representatives office. Why pick the freeway? Messing up with normal citizens funny? You know they won’t fight back right?
All conflict differs in magnitude, not in kind. All conflict/war/law involves friendly fire, unintentional hurting of innocent. What matters is how much effort one puts in hurting & targeting the guilty vs unintentionally hurting the innocent. The difference between right v wrong is how much.
Yeah. I would say that’s the point of protest. Disrupt the people who caused the issue. Not to disrupt your own people. 🤣 if you only want to protest when it is safe, I won’t call it bravery.
Blocking a freeway is literally the most stupid protest I can name for the past decade. Try figuring out something else. We don’t want stupid teammates who caused more damage than help. Like Moscow Jill and “uncommitted voters”.
You are laughable. Protesting in blue states is not bravery. It’s fucking making yourself feel good with no real consequences and cause ordinary people hate you. Try something else.
Because you are all Americans. You will all hang together if you don't get your shit together. At the very least, they are trying to do something besides scolding on social media.
ICE is invading all states , officials doing nothing is happening in blue states. Blue is still being harmed by Trump. No reason to sit down and let him take over. Send a message !
Yes. That's the entire point. Make life inconvenient for everyone - even the lazy who couldn't be bothered to go vote against the orange felon who gave away our country to Elon Musk.
Look, SoCal relies on immigrants to work in our restaurants, hotels,& fields.
That $0.89 bell pepper you buy will be like $3.79 when the white boys work the fields.
Fact. We need them. They are our neighbors & friends, unless you're a rich white person. 🖕
You'll care a lot when the orange stain's policies start to affect you, if they haven't already and you're just too embedded in his cult to admit it. You must absolutely loathe your country and your fellow Americans.
Umm.....where we are right now, you don't get out of it by worrying about hurting peoples' feelings or public sentiment towards protests. You fight like hell.
Surely public sentiment toward protestors is important. The whole point of these types of protest is to raise public awareness and convince the public that the cause is important and just. Protests need to be smart and strategic to be effective.
What people? The ones that voted for the criminal and his unelected buddy currently shutting down our government, blocking our computers, making us the object of hatred from other countries…the ugly American…those people are the ones allowing this, sir!
YES! Californians are the way-showers as usual. They have come together after the wildfires and are ready to roll to other causes and crises brought on by Felon 47.
This is a choice point for all Americans. Do you allow Felon 47 to have his way or unite against his coup in a nonviolent way?
Protesting in the streets is a show of heroism. They are true heroes. Hiding is a show of fear. it's downright cowardly. Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. They are hiding. It's time for them to resign so their Governor can replace them.
Come on America - we stand behind you. #Impeach the traitor. #treason Protest #TrumptyDumpty's orange rear end off. And toss the #Musketeer in for good measure. #TurdReich
Rednote is a good alternative. Not owned by the fascist USA, and you get to learn about Chinese culture while you're there. (Not to mention Chinese folks are learning about us in turn, and what we're going through! They're on our side!)
Scratching my head at people saying "protest but don't cause inconvenience" or "only protest in places we disagree with." Protest is messy, inconvenient, and, yeah, it's dangerous, and it needs to be everywhere. That's how it works.
Right what's the point on the minority of Democrats protesting in the deep south if the big blue cities don't have their backs? And a protest like this builds momentum for others.
Yes! Feb5 2025 is a protest to the Capital of your state.
Our problems are in Washington; and that is where we should be marching on. Millions of people show be capital steps. The Democrats are talk about 2026 like everything is normal! We got a 5 alarm fire going on in our government. We got a
foreigner accessing our Payment system in the treasury he hasn’t been vetted. He doesn’t have a security clearance because he’s in a admitted drug addict. He’s accessing our skis which is where all our secrets in this government in this country is held what the fuck is going on and Democrats are
walking around like everything is normal and talking about 2026 midterms well guess what there’s not gonna be no fucking election in 2026 but this is gonna be a dictatorship this dude here is gotten all our safety nets he’s ignoring court orders he’s done what the fuck he wants to do
Know what I don’t like? Mass deportations. Politicians actively scapegoating. Destruction of the free press. Oligarchs with no clearance seizing data. People without legitimate authority destroying health, social, environmental, economic protections…
The app you want is "Reddit"
If anything, look up "r/50501 reddit" on your favorite search engine.
Id put money on it being the first real search suggestion.
Again with this crap. You are hurting people from going to work or home. People will feel no sympathy for you, if you keep blocking the freeways.
Get your leadership to rethink this move.
So we should never protest for the survival and rights of people in any way that discomforts or inconveniences anyone else, making sure we'll be ignored.
Yes protest please. Protesting on a freeway is absolute stupidity. Here is a hint, you have a problem with the government, protest in front of their building. Do not block people from going to their jobs or home, or picking up children, doctors and nurses, ambulances. Look at the impact.
Protesters blocking the 101 Freeway in LA echo the type of activity that has changed the world: Bold, collective action like the Velvet Revolution, and Bloody Sunday can rewrite history
Resistance may be dangerous, but it’s necessary to challenge injustice and fight for change. 🇺🇸
now everyone that can; drive your cars tomorrow to Washington DC... Jam all the main roads, the side roads, the freeways... get out ... walk away and and claim they were stolen..
The current system of governance that leads US decisionmaking must be shut down forever, though, or America will be stuck in an endless cycle of protesting for change
Don't like it. Most of the U.S. population supports immigration, but needlessly pissing off commuters, disrupting emergency services etc. is counterproductive & turns a sympathetic population against a good cause. Be more creative.
Seriously? Imho history has shown that 𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is rarely convenient, but it has always been necessary for real change. The Civil Rights Movement, women’s suffrage, labor rights—none of these were won by being ‘more creative’ and avoiding disruption.
If peaceful demonstrations make people more upset than the injustices being protested, maybe the real issue isn’t the protest itself but what it’s exposing. So tell me, what ‘𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦’ solution do you suggest that actually forces those in power to listen?
This is not the way. Stopping ambulances, potentially important deliveries, and making your brothers and sisters late for work, unable to receive healthcare, and even going to the bathroom will not endear people to the cause. Civil disobedience is good, but targeting innocent people is not.
One last point, let’s be realistic—ambulances & emergency services are equipped to navigate around disruptions, with alternative routes in place for precisely these situations. The chances of a life-threatening delay are minimal compared to the broader systemic injustices were protesting against.
I get that disruption is uncomfortable, but that’s exactly the point. Sitting quietly and ‘being civil’ has never driven change, especially when dealing with systems and people who are entrenched in criminality, racism, misogyny, and oppression.
Not hearing how blocking highways is the best form of civil protest. Is this the best we have, emphasis on we? This supporter is turned off. We’ve been here before. The rest of the country think people that keep doing this are irrational loons. If it serves to diminish the movement, it’s a net loss.
I hear you, but history shows that 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁. The point isn't to target innocent people—it's to disrupt business as usual because ‘business as usual’ is what allows injustices to continue unchecked.
Every major rights movement has faced the same criticism, yet change never happens by staying comfortable. If minor disruptions create more outrage than the injustices being protested, maybe we should ask 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀
Let’s do this💪 It won’t end well for him, but he’s already pissing off a lot of Americans, & this country won’t 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘆. A revolution is what he'll get. I’ve heard he’d love a police state, but not today. We’re not going to ‘stand down’—we’re going 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽.✊🇺🇸
Literally never has am ambulance or medical services been stopped by one of these protests. It is a myth.
Stop lying to villainize protesters just because you like the status quo and want the suffering to continue
Does that render every point moot? Multiple times it has been made clear you are in disagreement with a supporter sympathetic to the cause who is wanting a more effective strategy. You’re hurting the movement and especially the messaging. I wouldn’t and shouldn’t block your driveway to protest ICE.
Correct. And subsequently the people blocking the highway are targeting innocent people with their actions. I’m on the side of the protestors, yet I would have been a target had I been in one of those vehicles. If I can’t make it to a doctor’s appointment, my first thought isn’t ICE did this to me.
So quietly marching in a park somewhere where noone is affected would be better? Protest needs to be seen and felt otherwise it is just lying down and accepting having no say.
Seriously? You’re comparing a fight for human rights to a Klan rally? Civil disobedience has always been disruptive—that’s 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁. It forces people to pay attention when they otherwise wouldn’t.
Yes, it’s inconvenient, but so is injustice. And if the 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 from a protest is ‘this made me late,’ rather than why people are risking arrest to demand change, then that’s exactly why these actions are necessary.
Filed under things we have the luxury to tut-tut about when we’re NOT actually facing the very real and present prospect of being dragged out of our homes/workplaces/churches/schools and being shipped — w/o due process — to a military prison in Cuba, perhaps never to see our families again.
Understood. Do we want to be seen as fringe criminal disrupters, or legitimate humans seeking justice & safety for folks who genuinely want to be productive members of society?
They badly need the world to pay attention, and I think it’s reasonable to impose some inconvenience on those of us who aren’t (yet) facing what they are in order to get it.
It comes down to the immediacy of the threat they’re facing. This isn’t abstract. They could lose everything at any time.
They’re desperate, and the stakes are potentially life and death.
They’re being pursued by a megalomaniac hellbent on scapegoating them for all the country’s problems. And he’s not letting the niceties of civil society restrict him.
I understand your point, but I also don’t know that it’s that binary a choice. To those who are hunting them, they are already seen as A, and there’s nothing they can do to change that; any more than than we-behaved Jews could in 1940’s Europe.
If you ever wondered how Hitler and his Nazi party overtook Germany...wonder no more
America has been gaslighted & brainwashed for years. The GOP has destabilized the media, government institutions & even the Constitution.They've created a fertile ground for willing acceptance of authoritarian rule
I was thinking about the late 60s, 70s, I was quite young but very impressionable after the four assassinations, Viet nam war and seeing all the demonstrations (Ohio) felt to me as if people cared and wanted to do something. Can we do the same here and get out? Hope so.
Just don't block roads to hospitals or emergency services. Block the roads to the gov buildings or something but some don't give a rats ass about civil disobedience and just want to get to their destination so maybe they can VOTE on your movement. Nobody calls their rep from the highway.
By telling me to stop, you're telling me how to protest. THIS is how we got here. Refusal to open your mind, thinking people are telling you what to do but are really asking you to not do the same thing you're protesting against. Hypocrisy and stubbornness.
Listen, as the wife of a first responder, it’s a valid point. Being smart about the way we do this DOES matter or innocent people - people on our side may end up hurt or dead because EMS can’t get through blocked areas.
We had this nonsense in the UK with STOP OIL. They block a road, so the newspapers report that an ambulance couldn't get through, which was complete rubbish; then there were accounts posting, "yeah, fuck the protestors, I used to support them but I'm buying a diesel now." Yeah, right!
I hear you. That’s why it’s important to be smart about it. During CHOP in Seattle A LOT of EMS turned on the people protesting because of how badly they were treating first responders who were trying to get to injured patients. Fire and police were blocked, it wasn’t safe.
There's also something known as uncivil obedience: The idea is to raise hell without breaking the law. There was a guy named A. Alan Borovoy who pioneered the concept, though Work to Rule follows similar principles.
I think there will be a repeat of the chaos and public protests, similar to the 60s, but yes, this is much worse. This is a fascist take over by our own government. It's is a whole new reality we have not dealt with before😒
Well shit. I love the protest, but how many of them will have been arrested today by ice?
If anyone has…
please contact a local immigration lawyer, and if any immigration lawyers want to offer up their services, please post here as I will get it out as much as I can here in SoCal.
Trump will call out the military to quash the protest like at Tiananmen Square in Bejing. He will call out Apache ( attack) helicopters, Fort Irwin, to fire on them and tanks from 29 Palms.
I don't agree with shutting down roadways. What about the drivers stuck that otherwise support their cause? What if I were picking up my kid? It does absolutely nothing for their cause but get people pissed.
Civil disobedience is literally one of the only ways to invoke change, and you should be happy this is the non-violent method, because if push comes to shove...then by all means necessary.
LOOK AT ALL THE COWARDS IN THE COMMENT SECTION!! TRUMP IS STICKING IT TO YOU, LATINOS ARE ACTUALLY PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE, AND YOU'RE ANGRY WITH LATINOS. 🤦♀️🤦♀️ COWARDS!!
your vote your voice protest you use the power of your voice this is what democracy looks like and this is what MAGA and trump supporters and the republican nazis are trying to kill we need to stop all this madness before we are attacked by the police military and FBI save democracy #blue #resist
Your cause- we're talking about an authoritarian, Fascist government take over with all of your personal data, all of the treasury money, all of the power taken away from the people of the U.S. If you don't think that the ICE or BLMatter protests were not your cause, maybe protesting a coup would.
I disagree. Most of the people agree that our
“Leadership “ is misguided. We need direct opposition to the folks at the top. This kind of protest hinders our brothers and sisters who need to get to work. Let’s do this kind of thing in the lawns of R-pub lawmakers, Lig Cabin Republican HQ…
Understood. Agreed. However it needs to be inconvenient, annoying and distracting to people who can make a difference. How is making Seattle baristas late for work going to help reign in the illegal activities of Elon Musk?
One that I interacted with seemed like a semi organizer? They claimed to be the one who got a permit for their state but wouldn’t tell me what state.
They posted recently asking people not to burn the flag because they personally don’t like the optics
They are already deploying several thousand active duty soldiers to rural areas along the border, but not yet in urban areas.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, codified as 18 U.S.C. § 1385 prohibits the use of the military to enforce civilian law unless expressly authorized by Congress.
Probably doesn't need the military, could just activate the national guard, and being that these are cities on the coast, the cheeto does have power to override state government wishes, as he did in Portland.+
This is not a power the president should have, and I hope that dems can sweep the next round of elections and start erecting meaningful roadblocks if they can't impeach and remove all corrupt officials.
I would hope no one in our military would be low enough to follow those orders. it's a joke that he would even consider turning the military on its own people for peaceful protests😡
Im not the most forward thinker but our allies should rethink their extradition policies! I feel an influx of innocent US citizens getting tf outa here before they’re convicted of something false and ridiculous! #resist #theelectionwashacked #deportelon #shakethates #dunkin #trumpsleptwithelon
I sincerely hope that the people at risk of being deported aren't putting themselves in a position to be arrested right now. Does anyone know if LAPD are cooperating with ICE?
I'm going to go I think, it's not that far. I'm old and disabled and getting around sucks but this is the first opportunity I will have to go and yell at them, great!
I about puked when I saw that Polis supports RFK....
Or apostate. Which when I checked said see also pervert and renegade. I think renegade is whitewashing rapist, felon, frauderster, lier con man etc pervert was very close. I think the evangelical sect have abandoned that part of their religions teachings.
Yes there will be more. Recently in Aurora, CO (where Trump said the Venezuelan gangs were), ICE had to cancel a raid after the media and others publicized the planned raid.
It‘s the American people now that need to stand up against Trump‘s aggressive treatment of a long-standing friend, namely Canada! Show you solidarity with Canada!
Hey gam gam, aren't you late for a game of pickle Ball? Since fuckin when has nice peaceful quiet talking ever changed anything. People listen when you force them to.
Obviously by your language you are ignorant and rude. Such a coward hiding behind a cartoon face. Tell me what was accomplished except pissing off drivers who may support the cause?
need better strategy, to avoid alienating "i-don't-care-crowd", but instead getting them on the side of decent treatment of all humans. Protesting next to every ICE office across the country might be more effective. All immigrant walk-out-of-their job for a day and onto every street (not traffic)
"Human beings deserve to be treated like people" is not a new reality, it's common sense for good people.
If someone doesn't agree, then they aren't going to magically start agreeing if protests become invisible
God forbid protests actually cause disruption and get people talking about the issue 🙄. I thought someone of your age would have had the wisdom to understand how protests work, and have worked for generations.
Eat shit and learn to dissent. The U.S. is one of the only country that vilifies protestors. If you find that a protest inconveniences you, you are more fascist than freedom fighter.
Donald Trump has officially declared through an executive order that everyone on Earth is transgender. He signed an executive order stating that sex is determined at conception. HOWEVER, every person on Earth develops sex at about one month AFTER conception. We ALL change gender at one month.
I was thinking that too, but then it occurred to me that Governors and Mayors would have something to say about that as well. I mean, I could be wrong, but it seems to me they ought to.
I think mylittlecorner does have a point. A military order of that sort would have to go through a chain of command. Anybody in that chain could potentially say no. But it would have to be someone relatively high up. IOW, you don't want to leave that decision up to troops on the ground.
"Anybody in that chain could potentially say no..." and be fired, starting a chain of firings until someone who will carry out the order is found -like what is currently happening in other agencies
Well, I can't argue with that. Because it's a totally insane situation anyway. I mean, who knows what the fuck is going to happen. And your guess is as good as mine. This administration clearly does not appear to prioritize human lives.
And…. And that would leave the world‘s most powerful military institution UTTERLY impotent. Pretty sure NO ONE that is serving with THE TRUE INTEGRITY AND PURPOSE of DEFENDING the US against ALL FORMS of tyranny, at HOME or abroad would abide.
Thank you. IOW… “troops on the ground” should be able to trust that their immediate commander will be giving orders that uphold the United States Constitution IN ORDER TO ensure the SAFETY of ALL Americans, which is WHY they join the military in the first place.. right?
Yes, exactly my point. It's a crazy ass situation anyway you look at it. But my feeling is, if you leave it up to the troops, that's the worst case scenario. Because as soon as the guy next to you starts shooting, you're going to start shooting too.
And those that either couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a woman for president or didn’t vote at all, didn’t believe what was RIGHTin front of their eyes. TBS, I truly THINK the election was TAMPERED with.
This should be happening right now on every American town...!
But unfortunately it is a "migrants problem" so the majority of the "white Americans" will continue silent...
😒
This is the dumb shit that got Trump elected in the first place. Pissing off people that have nothing to do with this is not the answer. It only pushing them to not vote for your party.
Seriously. I am all in favor of protesting. But please do not block roadways.
I’m about to be on call for 2 weeks straight. I frequently have to race to hospitals for emergencies, like delivering a baby. Do not be another hurdle.
I love protests - that are planned properly. All this will do is piss off a lot LA residents who have somewhere to be. It may also prevent ambulance transportation and emergency help. Anyone who believes this will help anyone is just, well, stupid.
Protests are not "planned properly"—that's a parade.
If you don't believe this is a moment of historic crisis for our democracy, I feel sorry for you. And as a "resident of LA" who's a few minutes away from this protest, I'd like to kindly ask you to shut the fuck up.
Many assuming that it's mostly immigrants protesting. I suppose since it's abt 🧊 that's logical. But if immigrants are fighting harder than natural citizens, we're already done for as a country.
Yup, "Will be wild". Trump's honeymoon will be over in only a few months. People who forgot about the chaos of the first Trump administration will be reminded about it ever day.
Well, I remember I was involved in grassroots efforts to stop him the whole 4 years. Yes, he broke laws, over 1k law suits were filed against him his last term, and they were successful, but they expect thousands this time. I think it's going to be much worse. Think, "treason".
There needs to be intense coordination, communication and intelligent targets to make a big enough impact. In 🇨🇦we are all boycotting as much 🇺🇸 as we can, this sentiment will only grow. No one is too small to fight back, the rich/US rely on all of us for their wealth, 🌐 we basically own them!!! #TBYB
I expect he will try to get the military (whom he's already cutting benefits from) will be given illegal orders.
It's headed there.
...We get to find out how many of them will take those orders and gun down protesters.
I don't fight fascism b/c I know I'll win, I fight it because it's fascism.
The thing is, no one using the 101 or at City Hall is snatching people off the streets. Focus your anger people. None of this anti-ICE theater impacts, impresses or affects those who need to feel the pain.

“Make good trouble”.
ICE raids are domestic terrorism. We need to stand in solidarity with California’s most vulnerable communities: immigrants AND farmers.
Politeness got us where we are today.
Look, SoCal relies on immigrants to work in our restaurants, hotels,& fields.

You must be speaking about MAGA. Who radicalized them?
If nobody is inconvenienced, you're just singing a song.
This is a choice point for all Americans. Do you allow Felon 47 to have his way or unite against his coup in a nonviolent way?
This should be a protest in DC, not California.
This is the state which protects . False Flag event which will give right wing fodder.
This is serious.
The whole US needs to be shut down.

It's gutsy to protest knowing you can be arrested considering who's in govt right now. Bravo to them!
Know what I don’t like? Mass deportations. Politicians actively scapegoating. Destruction of the free press. Oligarchs with no clearance seizing data. People without legitimate authority destroying health, social, environmental, economic protections…
So much more…

Get your leadership to rethink this move.
Sure thing, boss.
We just protest NEXT to the freeway, or use an overpass.
Then the lookie-loos will create the traffic jam for us.
😁
Not the protesters' fault.
Resistance may be dangerous, but it’s necessary to challenge injustice and fight for change. 🇺🇸
it now has people actually moving on it at faster rate than if they were in cars, but thats blocking. :P
Last year they hated Jews. I’m over these protesters.
Of course we are gonna protest. 😍
Surely passive acceptance of the status quo is out of the question?
Mass disruption undermines more goodwill & support than it creates. Is the goal just "awareness" or is it change?
Surrounding the Pentagon & being arrested in the Vietnam era was targeted & effective.
Pissing off commuters is neither.
Stop lying to villainize protesters just because you like the status quo and want the suffering to continue

Protest needs to be seen and felt by the people causing the problem being protested.
You're only hurting people trying to get to work or get work done.
How does your average person even know what's going on?
Could be an accident or civil disobedience? Could be a klan rally?
I like how you didn't understand the issue. This is in LA...
Why can't this shit happen in conservative states?
Who says it has to be "good"?
I got a question though... Why are you disruptive to people who mostly agree with you? How is that helping?
You need new material sweetheart.
It comes down to the immediacy of the threat they’re facing. This isn’t abstract. They could lose everything at any time.
They’re being pursued by a megalomaniac hellbent on scapegoating them for all the country’s problems. And he’s not letting the niceties of civil society restrict him.
And wear clean underwear.

Go ahead and protest, but when you start shutting down freeways it gives him excuses. You think they didn't plan for this reaction?
Be smarter.
That's really the critical question: whose side will the military take?
Already agreed they're being put in a shit situation.
Socialism!!!!
You’re old enough to know better. This is why some of you white people will never learn!
Have chosen their sides-it’s good vs evil.

Trump is NOT NORMAL.
Remember the armed troop incursions into Seattle and Portland in 2020.
...unfortunately by that point -as seen last time- it will be too late
I think protests like this are what he wants.
These are not normal times.
I can't believe people keep thinking things are normal.
These are not normal times.
We need to learn from what happened in 2020.
We should ALL know who Trump is by now.
...and he has absolutely no gaurdrails this time. He does not care about breaking laws.

I'm one of the people near this protest who you claim to be so *deeply* concerned about. And I'm letting you know that you are, in fact, a fool.
North Carolina sounds... nice though.
NC is lovely. Reminds me of my time in California (Marin Co.)
But that's me.
