    Trump is using the military to occupy a city that hates him. He wants to deport a lot of people, but the city isn’t having it so protests have emerged.

    From what I’ve seen, four self driving taxies was burned (the car on the image) by protestors, while the police intentionally shot a news reporter, used a horse to trample a detained protestor, and has deployed marines to the streets.

      Its not that they’re self driving; it’s that they’re covered in cameras and the cops have live access.

      Saw news report claiming the deportation was a rumor, the op never happened. Lemmy shows otherwise, what’s real?

    The federal agency ICE is completely captured by fascists. They are arbitrarily staging immigration crackdowns using hastily deputized agents who arrest people off the street while hiding their identity. They came to Los Angeles, a fervently anti-fascist area. It triggered massive but mostly peaceful protests. Trump is using the protests as a pretext to mobilize the federal military against citizens.

      Thank you. I have no idea what happened to LA this past few days, i know there’s a protest and there’s police violence against protestors and there’s chaos, beyond that i’m very much in the dark.

  This is populist violence and outrage that would be better directed in an organised bus-to-washington program that would only attract the politically committed (and ideally more disciplined).

  They could be briefed on the bus.

    That bus would have its brake lines cut before Trump’s first diaper change.

    Could also all be arrested or assaulted on the bus by the gestapo or their KKK supporters

    Yeah, the protestors shouldn’t be physically stopping the shutzstaffel from taking people to the camps. They should all get on busses for a two week round trip to inform the president that he violated the constitution when he sent in the marines and they would like him to stop now please if its not too much trouble.

    When will these fuvking politically incompetent lefties ever learn?

      This is the same playbook they use. Russia do it, Germany do it, France do it, Canada do it, Israel do it.

      We saw congress representatives ignoring people questions, and sometime not even showing up for meetings.

      The whole idea is to represent people, but they ignore your voice.

      They take your right, they ignore your peaceful protest, and then criminalize your peaceful protest, then arrest you.

      When you try to resist symbolically “Thrown rock at a tank” they escalate the response and claim you are violent.

      Then they tell you “should protest peacefully” so they can again ignore you and retaliate silently.

      The US history is full with peaceful protest, useful protest did nothing and never done any thing useful.

      When the protest start taking rich people income that when we see a quick change.

  Yeah, every Mexican flag in all of these photos is NOT helping their cause any. Just looks like exactly what the GOP says it is, an invasion. I’m not even sure I’ve SEEN an American flag during all the protest photos going around.

  • Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

    Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.

    Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.

      Are they trying to protect democracy, or are they just trying to keep their family from being deported?

      I’m saying it has everything to do with optics.

      Big angry crowds all flying Mexican flags just plays into their agenda. It looks like this isn’t Americans fighting back against ICE, it looks like it’s Mexicans fighting back against ICE IN America…

      I’m not sure what the hostility is for. The very thing the protesters are standing up for is the correct idea of America. The flag should be for real patriots who believe in the Constitution, not Trump and his insurrectionist ilk.

      What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.

      Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.

      You’ve got little concept of what their cause is. Their cause is “you’ve pushed us to the breaking point and this society is no longer worth enabling, the social contact is dead.” It’s not to make the liberals sad, it’s to hit everyone who wants to enable the system through disruption until their grievances are acknowledged. That’s always been the method of even the most peaceful of successful protest movements.

      He’s wrong by default because he fell for the LeftRightism demobilisation memes, but it is true that nearly all politicians work for the preservation of the status above all else. Those that performatively go against the grain, are tokenist politicians, like Noam Chomsky, serce the system by denouncing it. Autoflagellants.

      Now the way out of this is “Effective Action”, organized, targeted, effective not demonstrative. The demonstration is the warning before action. The proof they mean business with barely contained violence.
