The thousands abducted and unaccounted for and 60,000 in ICE camps probably aren’t having as good a time as this lot is. Look at all those smiles!

I am not sure how much this is helping the anti ICE movement optics wise either.

It’s helping because instead of government propaganda about violent antifa terrorist protestors with video and photos to support it, you’re reading about a non-violent protest to violent fascist government actions.

There’s only so many ways to annoy federal law enforcement that aren’t straight up illegal.
In this case they’ve already banned prayer so they moved into aerobics and even that gets banned they’ll probably do tai chi or something.

Okay, so do something straight up illegal not this disgusting performative shit where you smile and laugh as you’re having fun while people are being killed.

People are being killed every day and yet people - including yourself, I’m sure, continue to enjoy their days openly. Or are you miserable and unhappy in everything you do on a day to day basis?
I’m in agreement that the example in the video is weak and performative, but it’s funny to me that these calls for Americans to “DO SOMETHING!!!” always come from those who aren’t going to be the ones making any meaningful sacrifice. It’s keyboard warriors all the way down.
At least these people are letting ICE know they’re still there and paying attention. What have YOU done to help the fight against ICE?
