Thank you for this, Oliver!!! Last night, I was at a meeting where this very question was asked: is the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles designed to be a distraction from Trump's Big Bill? And I wanted to scream. Fortunately, the people in charge of the meeting agreed with you. We can fight a multi-front war. And we need Dem leaders who want to fight.
You could have stopped this last November. Whats stopping u from getting off your butts now and going to downtown LA or PROTESTS in your area FTM? NOTHING u want Dems to save your ass when the American people put them in the minority w/limited legislative power to do much of anything. Nice work.
Ummm, hello there. I actually not only voted, but I donated, volunteered for, and organized in my local Democratic Club for the Harris/Walz campaign--and I've been volunteering ever since them with my club in direct action. And oh yeah, I'm protesting at the No Kings Rally tomorrow and even driving three older people who want to go as well. So please don't make assumptions about the work we do or do not do.
Good for u. 😂 😂 Then if u did vote and voted for KH TW then u did your part. But unfortunately the vote went Trump's way, he's back in the WH, the most powerful person in the world 🌎, & Republicans have control of both houses of Congress & there's not much Dems can do legislatively to stop them. Have a good day.
You could have stopped this last November but that was too simple. People like OWILLS keep shyting on Dems often to just boost social media accounts. Dude watched fox news RW 📻 too much. You can literally melt your 🧠 watching more than 20min of Sean hannity.
Think about this. Once trump got back into the WH he became once again the most powerful person on 🌎🌎 whether u like it or not. He controls A. THE US MILITARY B. THE DOJ C. THE FBI D. THE SECRET SERVICE E. ICE F. THE ENTIRE NATIONAL SECURITY APPARATUS. G. HIS PARTY CONTOLS CONGRESS. I can go on.. have a good day.
There's no shortage of self-described leftists who view everything that is not simply about economic class (as if economics can be separated from every other dimension of politics and society) is a distraction. They speak of social justice efforts in all its forms as distractions, and decry 'identity politics'.
The the ones that need to get the memo- the violent bigotry of the fascists is not a digression or a tangent- it is the core purpose of the fascist regime.
There are both multiple fronts and distractions. For example, “invading Greenland” was not worth spending a moment’s worry on as the rest of the world would have given him consequences immediately. We all have different talents and knowledge. Pick the fronts you can best contribute to and don’t worry so much about the rest.
You could have stopped this last November. None of this was inevitable but once trump got back in the WH w/majoritys in both houses you had to expect it was gonna be bad. Fighting this will literally require people to stand in front of shielded ICE AGENTS or national GUARDSMEN or regular military all heavily armed. Dems own no MAJIK potions to save us.
One thing the left cannot phantom is why immigrants themselves don't support Leftists, leftist immigration policies even those that seek in theory if not practice, to better protect them from RW cruelty regarding immigration. Latino men & a growing number of Asians for example. Why are Asians in Brooklyn NY veering over to Republicans when Trump himself called COVID THE KUNG FLU(ANTI ASIAN SLUR) why are middle easterners Pakistanis Lebanese Egyptians & South Asians (India) in Kensington /ditmas park voting Republican? In DYKER HEIGHTS where I was born & lived for 34yrs a long time Democrat Peter abate, a good public servant, was beaten by a MAGA Asian LESTER CHEUNG for a state assembly seat. SOME1 asked Mr Cheung at a presser what he felt about Trump's comments calling COVID THE KUNG FLU, he gave a ridiculous answer, he still won.
Hey Oliver fun fact this wouldn't be happening if Kamala Harris was president. You and your contrarian left BS squad did everything they could ,in your own way, to suppress the Dem vote STUDENT LOANS ABSOLUTISTISM GENOCIDE JOE, etc etc. BTW no1 is stopping u from joining in the battle but that would require you to put down your IPHONE AND MACKBOOK. feel free to do so buddy. Elections have consequences ehhh? BTW Kamala Harris Barack and Michelle Obama owe you me and the people Nothing. They all warned us. Have a nice day and kiss KAL-EL for us. 🐶
agreed. I will say I was pleasantly surprised Hakeem Jeffries wasn't on his usual bullshit and he addressed the military style assault on LA head on and even was able to throw in some jabs about trumps destruction of the economy in a SHORT attention getting speech-DEMS CAN WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME! He also wasn't mincing words or speaking conditionally like he usually does. Maybe all our yelling and screaming about the fecklessness is working.

Yes.
If everything is a "distraction" , then it's
"1,2,3, what are we fighting for?"
We are fighting, or should be, a movement that is free to cause these "distractions" every hour every day. Don't be fooled, the chaos is the point.

I agree with you, although I hadn’t considered this before. We must fight them”....on the beaches, in the air...” (Churchill, sort of).
Frankly, I don’t think our enemies are clever enough to mount a campaign of distractions. Certainly Trump isn’t. He operates in the moment.

Thanks. We’re going to make it. We have to.
