Anyone have good sign ideas? I was considering just listing people murdered by ICE. Something I read claimed connecting potential dictators’ actions with overthrowing democracy was a key, so maybe quoting Anne Frank or drawing comparisons to Stalin/Hitler.
Yes. Even if this protest is peaceful, people need to come with more confrontarional rhetoric. I am sick and tired of the punny signs about love winning and smiles and roses. They’re fucking executing people in the streets and we need to get mean.
I think as soon as someone shoots an ICE agent, Trump declares a state of war, suspends Congress, and rolls tanks into Boston. He’s clearly itching to do that anyway, so certainly be ready. But I don’t see the people winning at this point; the military appears to largely be following Trump’s whims still.
He’ll do it no matter what. It’s a powder keg.
