(53,962 posts)The "Abolish ICE" issue is not smart though as it makes us vulnerable to repug attacks of wanting open borders.
Stick with freeing the children and uniting families.

(781 posts)I DO believe peaceful protesting against this despicable administration can be effective. We can vote, encourage others to do so, work on Democratic candidates campaigns, AND protest at the same time (contrary to what some here think).

(51,648 posts)We all must vote, protest, volunteer, RESIST in every way possible. There can never be "too many". I wrote on DU last week that Indivisible is working hard on many fronts in well organized strategies and someone responded that there are enough Dem volunteers and any more would mess up their efforts. That sounds like a Russian troll talking to me.

(37,648 posts)I guess because there are so many people, and there are so many important, notable people there, that they are able to do protests that strike home.

(37,648 posts)Down here in TrumpLand, it's business as usual. Except....maybe a few less vulgar attack responses to the few pro-Dem/anti-Trump ones in the local state & community online groups.
Posters in my community forum were talking about how good the burgers at a new place are. They are SO good, poster said, that it should be called a Trump Burger!!!
Others agreed.
I couldn't help it...I merely responded, "Since it's a Trump Burger, I guess that means it has Russian dressing on it?"
Amazingly, no one responded right away. I think they are taken aback that the "Demotards" (as one called me) are speaking out and talking back. But that's just a guess. (Later, a few responses came in. I didn't look to see what they said. And ONE, only one, "liked" my joke. That is headway here in TrumpLand. )

(13,366 posts)Thank goodness for my fellow Americans who can afford to take the day off work, etc and show up for these things...
I think I need to start a savings acct separately for things like this. SO when there's a big thing happening in Sacramento I can show up and make some noise too!

(94,889 posts)...and an even more stupid mantra.
A meaningless threat because Donald Trump doesn't own the streets, the people of NYC do. Most of which didn't vote for him. None of which can influence his policies. Many of which are ordinary people trying to get home. I'm sure they all learned a lesson.

(54,476 posts)But one block on 5th avenue won't paralyze all of Manhattan. In Europe, sometimes one group will paralyze a whole country for a week, and for far lesser things.

(37,748 posts)else your entire premise would be entirely irrelevant, and arguing against a position no one made, regardless of any (again) irrelevant lessons you may or may not learn.

(54,476 posts)That was the cry that indeed was heard around the world as the Chicago Police beat unarmed protesters at the Democratic Convention fifty years ago and practically handed the election to Nixon.
