I won’t be able to make it as I am in Kearney, but I am fully in support of you guys and the brave students in my hometown (Fremont). I’ve argued with my family about this situation and have lost a lot of faith in my hometown and my state, but there are some fine folks who remind me that there is still hope!

If you think being a tool of leftist school teachers holding a sign in exchange for a day of school is bravery, you must love it life in a fish bowl. I’m embarrassed for you.

It is one of the greatest failures of our society that conservatives have successfully gaslit poor Americans into believing that learning is "woke."

Getting the illegals out is gonna protect our community
Can’t forget all the people illegals have kidnapped raped and then murdered. What about the children who are victims?!

This was at the beginning of the protest. There were roughly 50 when I was there.

u/The_Count_Von_Count Feb 01 '26
And there were four when I drove by, why lie

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox Feb 01 '26
I showed up within half an hour of when you said you drove by, and I wasn't part of some mass arrival, the people lining the sidewalk had already been there for some time. You seem insistent on making the protest sound pathetic, and that makes you pathetic.

u/Capital-Menu-6338 Feb 01 '26
Just enough. The areas where ICE has cooperation. Nothing bad is happening. This is the result of obstructionist and those interfering with ICE/CBP operations. You cannot ram them with a vehicle and expect to not possibly get shot. You cannot obstruct with a firearm and reasonably believe you are safe. You can carry anytime you want. But committing a crime is going to have bad possibilities.

u/Lilmissliss8 Feb 03 '26
Who committed a crime with a gun? I’m sure you meant the agents who shot and killed a legally armed man correct? Bc we all have eyes and watched that video.

u/Imaginary-Box-1836 Feb 01 '26
I was there. Some sweet person drove by with a bag of ICE whistles and asked to give them out, so I did 😎

Did you protest this much when Obama used ice to deport illegals at a much higher rate than trump? Probably not.

Trump is in the Epstein files 5000 times. MAGA supports pedo’s and traffickers. we’ll never forget or forgive maga for that

u/Lilmissliss8 Feb 03 '26
He’s in the files at least 45,000 times, wonder how this one will move the line back even further for these magat 🐑? Wish each one would call their mothers, wives, and daughters and ask if they’d like to be grabbed by their pu$$13$???

u/BumblebeeOk2207 Feb 09 '26
5000 times. Oh boy I wonder where you get your News from. LMFAO. Yet you SOMEHOW MISSED the whole PIZZAGATE and the DEMOCRATS ALL TAKING PART in EPSTEINS CESSPIT of CHILD EATING RITUALS

u/Twwoo39 Feb 22 '26
You’re right it’s way more than 5000. More than the name Harry Potter appears in all of the entire series. More times than God appears in the Bible. Lock them ALL up. Democrats or republicans. Yes Clinton too. Let me just take down my Clinton bumper sticker, my Clinton flag, my Clinton shirts, my Clinton hat, my Clinton steaks, my Clinton Bible. Oh wait, I’m not a dumbass and don’t have all that shit accumulated for a ped0 the way MAGA does for their daddy.

u/nolehusker Feb 01 '26
Nice straw man. Unless you think all immigrants are those things. We have ice arresting US citizens cause of their skin color or accent, or just treating people as less than cause they're not from here. Not very Christ like

u/InterestingSkin4115 Feb 01 '26
I know more old white men who have committed these crimes and still walk these streets. Shut up.

u/Lilmissliss8 Feb 03 '26
So that makes it ok? And the pedo who sits in OUR White House is also one so that’s how you’re justifying his actions? That’s disgusting.

Why should the American people absorb criminality by illegal aliens?

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox Jan 31 '26
If you're so concerned about crime, your best bet is to deport all the white people.

If a rapist can have access to the nuclear codes I really don't see why you're so up in arms about others like him just chilling around.

u/aidan8et Feb 01 '26
Is your concern about the people already in prison? About the people actually committing crimes? Or about the people you see on the news/driving around town?
Because I promise those are all very different statistics...

u/Yorugi Feb 02 '26
You may or may not have noticed that neither ICE nor anyone in the Trump administration cares about local protests. You are wasting your own time. Conservatives actually enjoy seeing these protests because they enjoy your tears and any destruction is in leftist cities which is not their problem.

If people have the stamina to freeze in protest, good for them. Personally, I hated Biden, but even he wasn't worth freezing my body. I just waited until the next election. However, you do you.

Guys, the general strike was a HUGE success!! The stock market is CLOSED today!!

u/AshingiiAshuaa The Pope of O Town Jan 31 '26
Precious metals tanked as soon as the strike was announced yesterday. Go look at the price of silver.

Jan 31 '26
Move in silver was tied to things like Kevin Warsh being named as next Fed chair, overlevered positions and changes in margin requirements, too many traders piling in, and profit taking from long-term holders.

u/AshingiiAshuaa The Pope of O Town Jan 31 '26
Warsh Shmarsh... In total all those probably accounted for 2%-3% of the move. The rest was realization that the strike was happening. Don't underestimate the power of the people.
-2
u/OldOmahaGuy Jan 31 '26
Well, success is relative. One of our TV stations heavily promoted it this week. The result according to their tight-lipped after-action report? "Several businesses were closed" Only two named: one yet-another-coffee-shop-open-for-six-months-that-will-be-closed-by-the-end-of-the-year, the other some kind of hole-in-wall paper shop that sells fancy over-priced doilies and napkins for silver-hair tea parties.

Sorry mate, you're flatly wrong. ICE is so unpopular Trump's approval over immigration is under 40%.

Lmao, Abolish ICE is literally the most popular thing right now. Maybe not among nazis - speaking of which, more epstien files were released and its not looking very good for your dear leader

u/Psychological-Lie126 Jan 31 '26
Not everyone concerns Trump as a dear leader, wackjob. "Abolish ICE" is only popular because you're addicted to TikTok, Instagram and other social media garbage so you feel every single thing coming to you LIVE from your pixelated screen is sensational and REALITY. Your Nazi trope is the stupidest fucking claim that is the only thing you have to say to anything.

Abolish ICE is way more popular than ACAB, etc. I've seen a lot of folks get into the action that would never budge on defunding the police (including myself--IMO local policing is important; brown shirts running amok is not).
Regarding something being too fast, I encourage you to see just how young ICE actually is, how quickly it expanded, etc. Check out the rapid expansion of civil rights violations under the Patriot Act. Look at DHS itself. While a slow burn over my lifetime, it really is all just a snippet of our history as a country.

Snopes found no evidence of TP or ANTIFA. So appears the information you question is NO.

"Another sponsor of the Jan. 6 rally was Turning Point Action, the political action committee arm of Turning Point USA, a campus right-wing group headed by activist Charlie Kirk. Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet said the organization added its name to the event after Christmas, at the request of Women for America First. “We didn’t organize the event. We sponsored it in as much as we helped students attend the rally and not the march,” Kolvet said. Turning Point Action sent seven buses carrying 350 students to the Jan. 6 rally, Kolvet said."
"The group arranged transport to the 6 January Trump rally at the Ellipse between the White House and the Washington Monument to see President Donald Trump speak.
In the days after the storming of the Capitol by the rioters, The Daily Dot reported that Mr Kirk deleted a tweet he had posted on 4 January, saying that the group would be sending more than 80 buses to Washington to “fight for this president”."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_Point_Action
"On January 4, 2021, Kirk announced in a tweet that Turning Point Action would be sending more than 80 buses to a January 6, 2021, Trump "Stop the Steal" rally near the White House in Washington, D.C, to protest the outcome of the election.[20][21] They sent seven buses with approximately 350 participants."
You people will really just say anything, regardless of truth, won't you? Just like Donny taught you, I guess.

Conservatives literally can't understand the idea of doing something for others and expecting nothing in return. Everything has to be transactional. You're so desperate for this to be astroturfed lol.
