This is why they are protesting:

  • Demonstrators use “ice scraper protests” to denounce immigration raids, pressure action from Home Depot
  • Home Depot and Lowe’s Share Data From Hundreds of AI Cameras With Cops
  • 🇸‌🇵‌🇪‌🇨‌🇺‌🇱‌🇦‌🇹‌🇪‌🇷‌

    What are they protesting for or against?

    Nevermind, I should have googled:

      Thanks for the link. At first I was thinking what does Home Depot have to contribute in stopping the raids, but the guy quoted in the story is on to something - they can take quick action and close the store when there’s a protest. And while I don’t think there’s a benefit to closing the store when there’s a raid, Home Depot could make any public statement at all about how the government is acting inappropriately. Individuals have performed impressive actions to resist this lawless administration, while large entities have consistently folded.

        Home Depot only says that they don’t coordinate with ICE.

We are still in this together, but “this” is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of “we.”

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It’s time.
