    What a stupid comment. Just showing up to a protest is far more than most people do. Do you think the No Kings protest would have had so much coverage if only 100 people went to it?

        A few protests change nothing but it does help organize and network. Many people have no connection to their community and this is that chance

        Protesting is the first step towards change, not the last. Hopefully the movement can gain enough momentum for a general strike or something.

        My state leaders continue to speak up and do what they can, from representatives to governor to attorney general. Colleges in my state that have been attacked continue to resist. Any attempts at ICE raids are followed by protesters Maybe our protests get ignored by the regime but if it encourages our state politicians to continue acting in our interest, then it makes a difference.

              Your lives are already at risk. That you don’t see that makes clear that you are FAR too comfortable.

                You would totally be fighting back yourself though - all dirty-Harry like. Man it’s just those lazy people on the TV not doing what you’re shooting at then to do!

                Too bad you don’t live here though.You’d show them!

                    I’ll just be wishing I lived in your country where you would totally be willing to lay down your life to protect everybody all by yourself. And you would totally be effective at it too.

                    What is it like to single handedly uphold the freedom of a nation by yourself?

                    Your fellow citizens must be so proud.
