IMO violence is counterproductive — regardless of how you excuse it:
-Takes the focus off the heartbreaking stories that build public sentiment against ICE
- Builds public support for Trump’s violence
– Keeps potential protesters away

Absolutely-we saw violent plants in BLM.
But that kind of proves my point: the opposition WANTS us to appear violent *BECAUSE IT HELPS THEIR CAUSE*

Okay, so what IS the point?
Because to me, regardless of King’s assassination, his message & methods are powerful & timeless tools for facing a nearly all-powerful opponent.
I’d think invoking his name & methods further reveres him and those who fought alongside him.

False choice.
You can protest without throwing bricks or burning shit.

If you go to the website (www.ice.gov/webform/ice-...) there’s an option for “child exploitation”
I’m thinking the occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave might need reporting based on Elon’s recent claims….

So… King’s example is irrelevant because he was killed?!
I couldn’t disagree more. We desperately need a King right now.

ANY protester throwing stuff at feds (or setting fires or destroying property) plays right into Trump’s hands. He’s looking for any excuse to crack down further—and he WILL
Also plays into MSM click-bait portrayal of the protests as “violent!”—so mainstream Americans will see Trump as justified

“Will hurt already lagging ticket sales”

To blue folks that’s already obvious. Sadly, the rest of America is only hearing “violent riots!” from MSM, so think Trump’s actions are justified.
We could really use a strong, vocal leader right now — an MLK for our times 🙏 🙏🙏

Convince a few of your colleagues to give up their time so you can keep him from running out the clock & squirming away

Lee fought for the Confederates during the Clvil War — you know, the Confederates, who LITERALLY rebelled and fought a war AGAINST THE UNITED STATES?

I’m only glad we’re still months away from midterms bc he’d love to use this as pretext to shut down elections 🥺

I hate this comparison and wish people would stop doing it.
The Confederate flag represents evils including actual insurrection.
The Mexican flag just represents a place.

Please provide a link to Trump saying this — doing so will motivate more people, especially skeptical ones who aren’t necessarily Dems

Yes, let’s get into circular firing squad formation focused on… blaming Dems.
This is absolutely what is important in this moment 🙄

Yes.
Otherwise Dems on social media seem determined to get into a self-righteousness circular firing squad focused on… blaming Dems

ARGH! Trump has deployed the military against US citizens on our soil — and Dems can’t resist getting into a circular firing squad to focus on… criticizing other Dems 😤

If the good people of LA hit the freeways like it’s weekday rush hour, the NG arrival could be delayed hours & hours… & hours

This is a great idea! One Thanksgiving it took me 3 hrs just to get from LAX to Covina (normally 45 min). If people made a concerted effort, they could delay NG deployment at least a day.

Trump just deployed the military against US citizens
I really don’t think focusing on our irritation w Newsom is the best use of our time right now

How do you think getting into holier-than-thou, 20-20 hindsight circular firing squad formation helps us at this moment, when Trump has unleashed the military against US citizens?

He can side with us all he wants, but Trump has the power here.

Like what?
I really don’t see how blaming Democrats helps in this moment. If Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act, the NG is, unfortunately, legally under his control.

Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act
