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.
That’s the point. You aren’t supposed to outlast it. You’re supposed to see that it’ll hurt you and do something about it. Fight them! It’s not “suffering for the greater good.” It’s the government doesn’t give a shit about you, so stop letting them take your money just to spend it enforcing their authority over the people.
