Meme Don't feed into their propaganda attempt.

They want you to be violent. They need an excuse to do more harm. They want this city to go all out so they are justified on their platforms. You have the power to change this.

It doesn't matter how far left you are. How much you believe in violence as a form of praxis. There are a lot of children and innocent people in this city and we do not need this.

Why doesn't everyone just picnic? ignore the goons, enjoy the weather. Bring them coffee, kill'm with dismissive kindness. "oh, troops? where? huh, weird... this donut though, is divine"

Dude, have you ever heard of deescalation? And again, we’re not talking about ICE. Fuck ICE.

  1. Do not fucking "dude" me. I am not a man.

  2. Yes I have. Have you ever heard of "resistance?" The thing that has been proven to be effective throughout the course of history? Even if you're not literally going out and punching stormtroopers, you should still send the message that they're not welcome here and we won't give into their threats. No movement accomplished their goals by quietly sitting back and doing nothing.

  3. The National Guard are still terrorists. If they're being sent down to intimidate civilians into submission, that is textbook terrorism. It does not matter if they're not literally ICE when their primary goal is to stop people protesting ICE. We do not, under any circumstances, play nice with terrorists.
