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.
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.
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.
This isn’t specifically countering ICE, but you can write postcards to democratic-leaning voters to get people to the ballot box. Host a postcard writing party!
YES ON PROP. 50 CA. RELEASE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES, WHAT IS RTRUMP HIDING. DUMP AND IMPEACH TRAITOR , NAZIS , FELONS, PREDATORS , CRIMINAL GRIFTERS, CAREER CRIMINALS, AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE. YES CON REPUBLICONS, CLIMATE CHANGE IS DANGEROUS, REAL, DISRUPTIVE WORLDWIDE, COSTLY, AND PREVENTABLE. STOP DENYING CLIMATE CHANGE AND FACE THE SCIENCE . DUMP THE CON RTRUMP AND CRONIES. DEPORT RTRUMP'S WIFE AND RELATIVES. BOYCOTT NAZI MUSK AND NAZI RTRUMP. VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY AND THE FAIR DEAL, NOT THE RAW DEAL. PRETADATORS RTRUMP MUST RESIGN.
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.

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?”
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.
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!
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.
I am a former elementary school teacher. I taught in a small inner city school in Austin. Our small school, in a very disadvantaged side-pocket of a very affluent city, had so many Hispanic students from hard working, close-knit families. Most of our parents walked their kids to and from school...I can only imagine what it would be like there now (retired and relocated). Though Austin is not a Trump targeted city, fear must still be everywhere. I am so sorry for the kids, their parents and my wonderful former little campus.
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.
MarcBenioff, ceo of Salesforce, is a billionaire. I thought he was one of the good ones. Unfortunately, I think there are very few good ones, and most of them, even the ones who appeared to be good ones, have been corrupted by their money and privilege.
Benioff said yesterday that he thinks we need federal troops in San Francisco. To me, that just reeks of his terror that the masses will step up and reduce his privilege and his money.
Although I don’t live in San Francisco, I am there fairly often. In the entirety of the 50 years that I have lived in the Bay Area, including over 20 years in San Francisco itself, I have never felt unsafe, even walking in the tenderloin. I’m 75 years old, and although not an easy target, nevertheless, I’m not a young man anymore. And yet, I still don’t feel unsafe. At least a couple of times a month, I walk along market Street late at night. I have never felt unsafe doing so. There’s nobody around to threaten me. I walked in the tenderloin at night, and never felt unsafe.
Is there crime in San Francisco? Absolutely. Could our police department be better? Also absolutely. Yet nevertheless, it’s not something that I worry about. In my 20 years of living in San Francisco, I was only attacked on the street once by a guy who thought I was just a skinny gay boy. He didn’t know that I was bench pressing 250 pounds 30 times a workout three times a week, because I simply didn’t look like it. He left a good deal of his face on the sidewalk.
That event occurred approximately 45 years ago and I still don’t feel unsafe in San Francisco.
So what is Benioff’s angle in this? Just what I said. He’s terrified that the masses will come for him. Because I can’t think of anything else. And if he is advocating for federal troops on the streets of San Francisco, as far as I’m concerned, that will make the streets of San Francisco far less safe
I remember when I was little, The President (FDR at the time) was the One.....the guy in charge of it all, the leader, the one who would take care of us. And his authority and care spread down, to the Governor, the Mayor, the Principle of your School. So how does it feel to these young growing kids to realize the threat they feel, the fear it causes comes from The Person - the one who's supposed to be protecting you, keeping your country SAFE, keeping you safe. What have we come to?
Thank you. The attack on the building at 75th and the Drive has embedded deep in my soul. I know I'll never get over it. I'll always think about my sister and I sitting at the dead end of 74th and the Drive (I even wrote song about it as a kid), hanging out at the lake. One block away. Fuck you, ICE. You have no souls.
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.

Stephen Miller, Trump sponsored Terrorism............

You are so right...!!! Stephen Miller is responsible for so much that is going on....!!
Stephen Miller has no soul. Trump is an empty shell of a human being.
Right, Anastasia!

Chicago. Will. Not. Back. Down.
ICE is state sponsored terrorism.
I'm glad you were there to keep an eye on things.
We have to unite and stand up against this!!! Heartbreaking

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

You mean embedded
Hacktivist socialist Democratic appointed judges.
( Deep state).
How quicky you forget that the Dumpster was in office from 2016-2020 and appointed 234 judges.
I'm sure those judges were appointed by the obungler

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.
He's lying.
Bbb bullschiff
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.
And that is simply not true as I just explained to your fellow traveler. You could Google this and get an answer in about 30 seconds.
There you have it.
Finally someone who paid attention.
Yes! Yes!

Good to see someone from Class of 1949 has survived.
How terrifying to live in the US right now, as a Canadian I'm scared for all of you.
Great article! Suggestion for "No Kings Day" placard:
