Activists plan more events Tuesday in New York, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta.
The protests that roiled Los Angeles over the weekend were set to spread Tuesday across the country, as activists planned demonstrations in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and elsewhere.
Rallies protesting ICE raids and the government’s immigration policies have spread across California and beyond this week. A series of so-called No Kings demonstrations are planned nationwide for Saturday.
Some 56 people were arrested in L.A. over the weekend as some 700 marines and more than 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed by Donald Trump in response to protests that began on Friday, sparking an extraordinary showdown with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who strongly criticized the move as executive overreach.
I’m torn on this, I agree with your point and think it’s important to not do what the fascists want, provide an excuse to escalate violence further, but also they have been escalating all on their own and folks attending should be prepared for that escalation. Everyone has got to make their own decisions, I’ll be there with bells on but shit could get really dicey so I cant blame anyone that wants to keep their kids at home.
