I can understand the anger. But expressing it by throwing rocks accomplishes nothing constructive. If it were possible to halt the ICE agents from putting people into their vans I might support that idea.

Or, I might just smile if someone could get close enough to the tires of the ICE vehicle(s) to flatten them without being caught. It would at least temporarily delay ICE.

But I'd rather see peaceful protests with signs about human rights and due process, pictures of Adolf Trump in a short mustache, and people taking videos of the ICE agents and the people being arrested. At least with photos the relatives and friends of the arrestees would know what happened to them and Trump's henchmen wouldn't be able to disappear them. Another sign I'd like to see is, "We are witnesses. The whole world is watching."

Somebody with a bull horn could read the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments from the Bill of Rights.

As well as a big, red clown nose. I've used that hand made sign often (I've been to 28 protests since 2016 and NO KINGS will be 29.

I am an illustrator so my signs are pretty professional looking but take a lot of time so I have learned to cut an past certain features to make new, more current ones.

I am not worried at all about violence on June 14th. Protesters know not to become violent, that is what the Proud Boys/MAGATS do, not us.

If you see violence at flash mob protests such as those involving ICE recently that is a completely different atmosphere.

Malcolm Nance has repeatedly advised everyone to stay away from DC because if these yahoos in the masks trigger crowd trouble, there will be a reaction, probably just like in LA, except more likely to be instigated by Trump's minions. Malcolm says we need to bring out the biggest crowds we have ever had in every city all across the country, rather than travel to DC

We are having an event here in FW and Dallas is also having one. It is going to be HOT here which can be a deterrent but I will be there.

I would not be surprised to find there are a few "plants" in the rioting crowd to help stir up the pot, (back in the Vietnam era they were known as "outside agitators" If anything untoward happens in DC, he has enough troop strength to do some serious damage. He could still declare martial law but at least all the crowds will be elsewhere

did a week ago when ICE arrested everyone at a local restaurant. They held back on purpose. They don't want to contribute to more violence. I think the sheriffs are the ones you need to keep an eye on, at least the ones in San Diego. I've witnessed them protecting Proud Boys. The San Diego Police have not acted like that and I've been to almost 30 protests in my area since 2016.

A lot of stuff is happening fast. Between ICE, Musk, Big Beautiful Bill BS, tariffs, healthcare, social security and a $45 million bill for his ego parade the number of angry Americans is increasing rapidly and others around the world are even joining in.

Published on May 30, 2025

Key among the voices supporting this move is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who has reiterated her stance on disbanding an agency that she and her allies critique as harsh in its immigration enforcement tactics. Ocasio-Cortez's position contrasts the laudatory statements made recently by the White House, which extolled ICE for its work in apprehending "criminal illegal immigrants" in New York.

🗣️ 🪧 “… From this moment forward, at every protest, we must do the following:

ℹ️ The moment violence or property damage begins, EVERY OTHER PROTESTER must immediately sit on the floor or the ground in silence, with signs down.

📷 The media (or a someone) needs to film this. This will reveal paid fake thugs posing as protesters becoming violent.

❤️The sitting down must spread like a "wave" in a football stadium throughout the crowd of protesters.

‼️Local police officers will immediately see WHO is doing the damage, and the rest of us will demonstrate our non-violent innocence and retain our ➡️Constitutional right ⬅️ to peaceful protest.

💯Retweet, repost, and shout it from the rooftops at every protest you attend!
