Encircle ICE.
They can leave the circle but their victims stay with the people
NO VIOLENCE!
One circle and then another and another if necessary.
This is a police tactic that we need to be using against them. There are more of us than there are them.
Use our numbers against them!

Trump calls those who serve “suckers and losers.” Now he’s gutting the housing program that alleviates Veteran homelessness.

Same contempt, different day.

EPA Staffers Demand Change in ‘Declaration of Dissent’ “Today, we stand together in dissent against the current administration's focus on harmful deregulation, mischaracterization of previous EPA actions, and disregard for scientific expertise.”

NEW: Nearly 300 EPA workers have signed onto a “Declaration of Dissent” against the Trump administration’s climate policies and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s leadership.

This is the second declaration to come out of this administration from angry federal workers.
