House Speaker Mike Johnson called the demonstrations against the Trump Administration a “Hate America rally” and claimed it would draw the “pro-Hamas wing” of the Democratic party and “the antifa people.” Majority Whip Tom Emmer accused Democrats of “promoting the terrorist wing of their party.”
They are either hoping to incite violence by their nationalist supporters (proud boys, oath keepers, patriot front, general neo nazis) or they already know something is planned and they’re going to let it happen.
If something happens, don’t ever let them forget they are just as responsible as those who carry it out.
Agent provocateurs will be employed to create violence like they were in other protests under this regime.
There were neo Nazis peppered all around the New Orleans protest showing off their tattoos and hoping to provoke a fight, but they didn’t actually do anything besides mean mug and act pissed off people have free speech.
If that’s how you like to spend your Saturday, mean mugging on behalf of an administration that is also fucking you over, is about to drag you into Venezuelan Vietnam to die on their behalf, but let’s you say the n-word whenever you want as a little treat, I guess that’s weird but ok.
Even as a Nazi, you’re allowed to peacefully protest a peaceful protest because of that free speech you’re protesting.
But if something happens and they let it happen they won’t care that you won’t let them forget it because they will just deny it.
There is only one solution, and it’s not happy thoughts, angry words on signs, and silly chants.
Although, that inflatable frog seems to be doing quite a bit of damage. 🐸
they won’t care that you won’t let them forget it because they will just deny it.
They can deny it all they want. Still not going to keep Mike Johnson and Tom Emmer from getting hit with a shit ton of civil lawsuits. ⚖️
Judges will just dismiss them.
Even for the Trump administration judges have ruled against the federal government multiple times. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-series/trials-of-the-trump-administration/tracking-trump-administration-litigation
Johnson and other guy who is so unimportant I can’t even remember his name, would have no federal protection in civil court. Protesters who sued far right organizers in Charlottesville were part of a tiny protest, and still received millions in damages.
I know what the right would be doing if the shoe was on the other foot. If something happens, sue the shit out of that little 4-eyed weasel, and every single individual and organization on the right that made a statement demonizing the peaceful protest.
That website lists a bunch of Trump wins too… more wins and pending/appeal than actual hard losses.
Yes those lawsuits against the federal government. Not civil suits against individuals.
It’s sad, but SCOTUS is a corrupt joke compared to lower court judges. Also, there’s actually 7 in favor of the admin and 8 ruled against
•222 active cases challenging Trump administration actions (this number consider a suit filed in district court and appeals that arise from the original suit as one case) •19 suits by the Trump administration challenging state or local laws •17 Supreme Court stays or orders to vacate lower court orders •1 Supreme Court affirmation of a lower court order •7 suits where judges ruled for the federal government in a summary judgement or by dismissing a suit •8 suits where judges ruled against federal government in a summary judgement or permanent injunction
A judge literally just declined another request from him, and in typical orange little bitch fashion he’s already crying to SCOTUS
Unless something is done he will eventually win every one of these cases in some way or another. He may even just ignore them entirely. It’s not like we can charge him with a crime anymore
If you’re going out tomorrow, it would be a wonderful day to treat yourself to some boutique sodas in glass bottles.
So if you’re expecting a crackdown, why is defenselessness the main theme of the protest? If it doesn’t arrive, won’t the crackdown just be on the people you refuse to defend? Where are the people placing themselves between ICE and their victims? I am more impressed by the tamale-loving cyclists.

Epic, do that to ICE and see what it accomplishes. Moon them too, it’s on-brand.
😘
Thanks for the help, but a comically fey demeanour is already taken for granted. The protests look like a circus. It may as well be a celebration of the concentration camps.
🤗🫂🤗
I couldn’t find a gif, hope this is acceptable
If you had it your way, we’d not be able to protest today. You’re either working for Trump, or you’re unknowingly working for Trump.
He wants violence. Without it, his attempts at a military takeover are being fought by legal systems, and public opinion is strongly against him, and dropping.

You’re attacking a strawman to make up for the emptiness left over after your symbolic protest that did absolutely nothing.
Do you not know what a protest is for? Like, it’s not meant to have a direct cause and effect.
It feels like you’ve never been to a protest. I think you should stop by one. It will help relieve your pent up… Impotence?
Or just post a video of you doing what you are chiding others of not doing and stop ICE, so we can take notes. We can always do a little better :)
I am well aware that the protest is meant to accomplish nothing. Not only that it denounces the prospect of active resistance against ICE.
Please share a video.
