There’s shitloads of protests going on over the matter, actually, but much like the protests against all the rest of Trump’s bullshit and especially ICE, you wouldn’t catch the media covering any of them, despite them being nigh-constant.
You mean that one time a bunch of Canadians drove in a line?
Compared to that time a protest was staged across an area the size of Europe? From small towns with a few dozen people to capital cities? And then again? And again?
These were all literally a quick Google search away. And you know what? Almost all of them are from last year, from a couple of cities out of those national protests, because our media is captured and it’s very difficult to find photos of the people scaring off ICE attempting to snatch people in broad daylight or the masses of abandoned cars in Chicago - some of them still running - from all the ICE raids. Or the community watch groups that have sprouted up to track where ICE agents are in the city. I couldn’t find a single picture of the protests from Boston then where there were more protesters in the city than the total population of the city. Most of what I saw was pro-ICE propaganda from news outlets about immigrants in NYC “cheering for ICE after capture of violent gang members” and other nonsense.
Oh, so you can dish it out but can’t take it when someone else handwaves away your effort?
I’m a trans woman living in the US. I absolutely know what I’m talking about. I’ve been keeping up with politics since I was a pre-teen just so I could know what rights of mine were being stripped away in which states. I’m illegal in 41+ countries in the world and 20 states in my own country.
Keep thumping your chest about your little Sunday drive while people are chasing ICE agents out of their neighborhoods.
But good to know this man never led a “real protest.”

Show me. Why isn’t lemmy full of protests?
They can stop many news outlets, but not all of them. Not all social media platforms.
The protests are small and insignificant.
They should be massive. Like the trucker convoy in Canada was.

You should educate yourself more about the subject. Because you obviously have no fucking clue what the trucker convoy protest was.
Your little walking parades are not protests. The trucker convoy was a real protest.
I’ve been following American politics very closely. I am very educated on it. You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.
