the Dems who voted for this aren’t a list of Dems who support ICE, they are a list of Dems whose caucus thinks they need to avoid the “wouldn’t condemn terrorism” mailers. If you’re in their district you should still call them and express displeasure with the vote, though.

among the oldest tricks in the book is for the majority to introduce a resolution that contains:
1. A provision the minority party’s voters will be horrified if they oppose
2. A provision the minority party’s voters will be horrified if they support
So either way you just made an attack ad

for reference, I live in Northridge, which despite being the size of a small town is technically just a Los Angeles neighborhood

like, most people don't really comprehend how fucking big Los Angeles (and California in general) is. It's a city with *multiple smaller cities* inside it. LA has a larger population than most states.

which isn’t to say there aren’t still protests going on, obviously there are and I love everyone involved, but for large portions of this very large city Life Is Normal right now
people are out to dinner, people are at the mall
just complete disconnect between that and the television

There is no Central Committee of Immigrants, planning protests. People are protesting with the symbols of their own community because they feel that community is under attack and want to show support for it. You cannot order them to stop this like in a strategy computer game.

As people watching this, we have two options:
1. We can express support for the groups that are under attack, and reaffirm their right to live in America without persecution, or
2. We can scold them for being too uppity and outspoken about their own identity, because "bad optics"
