Summary
Thousands protested in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday against a surge in ICE raids under President Trump’s administration.
Demonstrators marched from Olvera Street to City Hall before blocking lanes on the 101 Freeway, leading to major traffic disruptions.
The California Department of Transportation confirmed freeway closures, while LAPD reported gridlock across key streets.
Trump has intensified deportations since taking office, prompting widespread demonstrations in major cities. Authorities have yet to confirm arrests or further enforcement actions.
That was then. This is now. Things change, we need to match the crazy. I’m all for doing things like protesting, but that should be the bare minimum action.
It’s fine to inconvenience people, but they have to be the right people. This needed to happen in 2016. We are over 8 years left to the party.
To me, there’s no more effort involved by moving the protest to a more effective location. If you’re involved with any of these protests, please suggest other locations for a more meaningful message. The senator has a house… that’s a good spot. Governor, mayor, judges… those are good spots. They need to be afraid.
You have literally no reason to believe any of this other than not wanting to walk back your ignorant statement too far. Explain to me why now is different than 2016? Every protest all the time gets treated like this.
Let’s talk about occupy Wall Street, for instance. Nothing but ridicule.
March for Our Lives, Women’s March, March for Science? “Bougie sign parties” despite insane turnout and momentum.
BLM “burned cities.”
Now? “Wahhhh they’re inconveniencing people” which as I mentioned we heard during civil rights.
You are part of the problem. You will never take a protest seriously because you will always find some reason to say “they’re doing it wrong.” Wake the fuck up dude. Stop tearing down the people who are actually doing something. What the hell did you do while they were out there on the streets? Come online and fucking bitch about it?
Playtime is over. Get off the bench and get with the fucking program or get out of the way.

Yeah Mr. Super Leftist, you take them so seriously that you’re sitting here attacking them from your computer instead of being out there. You’re doing amazing work here. Truly an inspiration.
You aren’t listening.
Oh no don’t you worry, I heard your masturbatory bullshit just fine.
Ahh yes, telling people that focused protesting is more effective than screaming in the street is masturbatory. It sounds like you’d rather them stay ineffective. MAGA much?
We both know you’re just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
Go out and protest. Organize it or be a part of the process. Stop being a whiny child and do something. Stop saying “no” and providing no alternatives.
Be a part of the solution. Stop wasting energy tearing down people who are steps ahead of you.
Again, offer advice for more productive protesting is not throwing shit at the wall, or being a whiny child. I am trying to be part of the solution, otherwise I would just stop it they don’t work, without offering suggestions. The problem is,you just don’t want to hear those suggestions. You want to think that things are working, and that everything is going to be OK. But it is not.
