Perhaps keep elementary school kids inside for the time being - in the gym, games in the hallway? Stagger recess hour. If those kids see or experience something horrific it’ll be with them FOR LIFE.

Heartbreaking and I’m impressed to no end by you rushing to the school or wherever you were needed. The little ones have to be protected from this shameful and senseless act of cruel behaviour.

It is a strange America indeed when we need protection from people who are supposed to be agents of law enforcement. But this is America under Trump, for it is with Trump that this kind of behavior starts and is approved. I truly believe that if Trump were not president we would not be having these problems at all.

I love this so much. Thanks for leading the way. I live in a very small town halfway between Mt Shasta, CA and Ashland, OR (2 other small towns). We are hundreds of miles from Portland and Sacramento. Very open to ideas of what we can do other than continuing to show up at No Kings protests.

The Democrats held those files for nearly 17 years. WHY didn't They release them? They were protecting their own.

Nice try to change the subjects. Trump was president before. Trump is president now. If it’s all a Democratic plot, why isn’t Trump releasing those files? If his name is not in there,Why is Trump not releasing those files? why isn’t Trump releasingt those files when he promised that he would? Is he trying to protect the Democrats that are in it, according to you? Is he trying to protect Bill and Hillary? is he trying to protect Joe Biden? Why isn’t Trump releasing those files?

Trump tried. Democrats raised all kinds of hell and blocked it.

WHY don't you pay attention instead of listening to both sides. Then research it for yourself. Like I do. Of the two party's, it's Democrats who are proficient at lieing and using socialist tactics to sway morons such as yourself.

Either you are lying to us, or you are lying to yourself. Democrats have tried several times to get those files released. Johnson keeps preventing it. And honey, I really doubt you know what socialist means.

Your mother did not raise you properly.

And the word is Lying.

So again, we have a problem here. Name-calling, useless buzz words, and research it for yourself. So either your mother didn’t raise you properly, or you’re a Russian troll and your mother still didn’t raise you properly. If you had actually “done your own research”, you would Google the question” when has the Democrats in Congress tried to get the Epstein files released?”

And here are your answers, Comrade.

Hadyou actually done your own research, you would’ve spent the 30 seconds that I spent googling the question. But you didn’t.

Try again.

Neither group in power has wanted to release them. Some of the peopleat the top are implicated, on both sides. It's not either/or.

All the more this administration ~should~ be thrilled to release them. And yet they don’t. When will MAGAts understand that Trump and crowd are expressly in office to protect his rump from prison and to consolidate power and even more amongst the wealthiest? They are working to make us as ugly as Putin’s desperate Russia. Bye bye, troll, whatever nation you hale from.

Federal judges control the records to protect the privacy of the victims, including minors. Presidents do not have the authority to bypass federal judges. Trump opened the can of worms when he claimed he was going to release the files as a campaign strategy. Ooops. Should have let sleeping dogs lie.

Thank you for stepping up for your neighbors.

Please keep reminding people to protest peacefully and even joyfully. The trump administration is just itching for a reason to call a insurrection. I'm very worried about that. Especially during the No Kings protest coming up.

The saddest thing I can remember. People having to protect kids in school from their own government's reign of terror!

It is ironic (and wonderful) that this year's Nobel Peace prize went to a woman who has successfully stood up to and built a country wide movement to stand up to the authoritarian ruler of Venezuela! We can learn some things from them!

Stay Strong! Sending love from Alberta, Canada. We have our own brand of MAGA here. Hopefully we can learn how to fight it from you. At least Canadians elected a Prime Minister who is working to build a strong Canada. I believe we can thank the US for that.

What a great story. Americans are frustrated, not knowing what to do. Dems mostly aren’t good at weapons and such. We’d rather talk them to death. So they use the pepper spray on us. You’ve given a diagram of what people can do. Not just demonstrating at ICE headquarters; going to where they might show up and wreak havoc, especially on kids. - The cards to hand out: great idea.

Good thing the sex traffickers and perverts don't concern you or the trans with mental problems didn't decide to shoot up more innocent children. Huh?

Are there any forensic accountants around who are willing and able to identify suspicious bank accounts with recent deposits of $50,000/signing bonus for ICE in them? Has it dawned on America's bankers that they may be the only ones who can i.d. ICE?
