    This administration has been promoting violence. We are promoting self defense.

      What you’re promoting and what the Trump admin wants align pretty well enough. What’s going to happen if you don’t have as much public support as possible, is not riding in like the cavalry and scaring the ICE off, far from it, those ICE offices will end up staying open and Trump will use the excuse to grab as much local authority as possible.

      If you want to close those offices, for good, then you need the people of the cities, the judges, the city hall, as many people as possible to call for the closure and for the Police Department to enforce those rulings. If you don’t think that’s possible, look to Portland right now for inspiration: they’re out tonight in the thousands.

        You know what the Trump admin wants more than armed resistance? No resistance at all.

          That you can’t process such a simple concept as gaining a majority support to resist with, that you consider anything other than run and gun action shooter scenes as “no resistance” is almost pitiable.
