We’ve been fearful of Trump instituting the Insurrection Act.

BUT, what if we can turn the tables?

What if we can pit the military against ICE?

And the military becomes OUR defender?

Think about it

It’s a great “what if” ! I haven’t seen or heard anything positive from the military (active). Unless there’s some type of covert operation going on we don’t know about my hope is dwindling. Not going to stop fighting, I will till the day I die. ☮️

That’s technically what they are supposed to do - be our defenders - and they can oust a tyrant. But the whole admin/top military is taking a knee to the dictator.

If you are retired, go to a complicit store such as Home Depot, fill up a cart with little items and walk out at 2. Other places are Target or Walmart.

Sad to even think about but I know everyone is starting to feel desperate

Each death needs grave markers in each cit during protesting. Flowers and candles can be brought to honor tgeir bravery. Bet they would line the street for blocks.

Yes! In Frederick, Maryland! We had almost 1000 protesters!

ICE out in San Antonio was a few hundred people - could have been bigger since SA is usually strong in these but it was organized in short notice. Speakers were powerful. Peaceful protest but a couple of MAGA guys were trying to stir things up. Security kept them at the perimeter.

Disgusting ABUSE of power from the top down!

Raleigh, NC, showed up for peaceful protest. Some people came without signs, they just needed to be there and stand united against I.C.E.

Attended a visibility on a very busy street intersection in downtown Silver Spring, MD (a suburb of D.C.) Maybe 3 dozen people, but we got terrific response from passing motorists.

We need to make it clear to our local police officials that if they are seen protecting ICE over citizens they will be seen as collaborators with Nazis, and consequences will follow.

Yes. I protested with 155 others in pouring rain in Annapolis.

Pete Hegseth, a Trump toadie par excellence, is in charge of the DOD, so it seems unlikely the military will do much to actually defend America on its own land. The terror facing us is the fact our enemies are our own administration, not some foreign threat. Empires fall from within, ours will be no different. Hubris in history is a good teacher for all to heed. Americans have discarded history in favor of a know nothing attitude which leads us down the path of repetition. It really is insane to keep doing the same things over and over again, expecting different results. But there you have it.
